The Jersey Shore

We went to visit my Grandma and Grandad in New Jersey

at the house where Mommy grew up.

We went to the beach in Asbury Park.

It was the perfect beach day.


The water was really warm. Even Mommy went in the water.



Here I am with Daddy and Grandad.

In the evening we went back to the beach to watch fireworks.

Uncle Eric, Aunt Seema, Cousin Raj and Cousin Ray

drove down from Boston so we could play some more before flying back home.

It was so much fun to spend time with my relatives.

A visit to Cambridge

Today we went to visit Mom's former boss and teacher, Adele.

She is currently doing great things for the architecture program at MIT.

I got to meet Petey, a cat that she had when Mommy worked for her years ago.

Adele made us an incredible and beautiful salmon salad for lunch.

It was a fabulous lunch and we were stuffed afterwards.

I also got to meet Mio, a parrot that used to sit next to Mommy at the office.

Adele has some really great collections of things from all over the world. I took a real liking to her African benches and set up a bridge of them across the living room.

As you can see from the pictures, her place is incredible and her art collections are amazing. I managed to not break anything while I was there.

Adele is an amazing woman and I'm so happy I was able to meet her.

Going to the Beach with the McCarthys

Mommy's best friend from College lives in Boston too.

Her name is Jennifer also, but Mommy calls her Burkie.

We spent the day with Burkie and her family.

We started out having a picnic at Nantasket Beach in Hull, MA.

Burkie's husband, Michael, is a Boston Firefighter.

We went to visit the firehouse and that was so exciting. The firefighters pretended to get a call and came down the fire poles. They also let us sit in one of the firetrucks.

Afterwards we went and had Mexican food in Newton. It was another great day.

An Indian Wedding in Boston

While we were in Boston, we attended an Indian wedding reception

for close friends of Uncle Eric and Aunt Seema.

We dressed in traditional Indian clothing.

Here I am with my Aunt Seema.




This is Raj, Uncle Eric, Ray and Aunt Seema.

Here I am with Ray on the dance floor.

There is a lot of dancing at Indian celebrations.

Here we are with Seema's parents and brother.

We all had a lot of fun.

Meeting Baby Duncan in Boston

Today we went to visit one of Mommy's very best friends from grade school, In.

In and her husband Rowan, (who also both went to the U of C with Mommy) just had their first baby named Duncan. Because we were in town, we were able to meet him for the first time.

Here's baby Duncan, he's sooo cute!

Mommy and In.

Aunt Seema, Uncle Eric, Cousin Raj and Cousin Ray came to visit too.

In's brother, Brian, also came to say hello. It was a fun reunion!

Dog Days of Summer- My First Baseball Game

This is the night before the baseball game.

I'm trying out my glove that Jeff and Suzanne gave me when I was born.

I'm really excited for the Giants game.

Here we are at the ballpark.

It's Dog Days of Summer (bring your dog to the ballgame),

so Griffy was able to come too!

We were able to parade across the baseball field with out dogs.

Griffy and I had so much fun!
