Settling in

October 25th, 2013

The past couple days have been very busy {what's new} but very fun!  For starters, my parents took Christian and Lindalee for the night to give us our FIRST night without children in 3.5 years {almost to the day}.  We really should have taken advantage of the time to get our lives organized in our new place, but instead we headed to Fenway.  It was game two of the world series, we had to be part of the action!

Standing room tickets started at $461/person.  Instead of spending a ridiculous amount of money going to the game, we decided to hang out at the bar next door, Cask N' Flagon, get a table, eat and drink as much as we could, and watch the game on the countless TV's surrounding us.  We had a great time.  It was weird not having to rush to get home for the babysitter, even better, not worrying about what time the kids would wake us up the next morning.  My favorite part of the night was walking home, full of food, a little drunk, holding hands with my husband {and best friend, awww}.  Love this city and love my man!

While mommy and daddy were having fun....

Meme took the kids to Emery Farm for the day.  Lindalee played in a toy car the entire time while Christian made some friends and fed the animals. 

Meme told Lindalee it was time for bed and she went running for Papa.  He hated it.

Everyone (especially mommy and daddy) had a great time. Though, Meme was pretty exhausted when I went to pick up the kiddos.  They do a good job of sucking the energy from their caregivers.  I picked up the kids and brought them back to Boston.  Finally, we were all together, as a family, at our new place.  Christian enjoyed showing Lindalee around and all the things she could do to get into trouble.  

We were all excited for the evening's event.  Our first visitors!  Family!  What?!  We haven't lived close enough to family {basically, in the history of us having kids} for them to just come over and go out to dinner.  Christian was so excited to play with his cousins, Lucy and Riley.  I think Chris and I were equally excited to spend time with their parents.  We had a great night.  We look forward to a lot of dinners with the Biddlecom family.  Not only did we all have a great time catching up and getting advice on places to go and things to do in the city, but Lucy and Riley entertained our {poor restaurant dining} kids the whole time.  Christian and Lindalee were in heaven.  Lindalee kept hugging the girls.  Probably a breath of fresh air being around someone besides her brother and not being tackled every five minutes.  

Thankful for family!
