Our Northeastern Life

Well, here we are in Boston. We are loving our life in the Northeast and all the experiences it has to bring - visitors are always welcome! But for those who cannot visit, here is a small glimpse of what we have been doing... but this really is a very very small glimpse. I have not taken enough pictures!

Here are some pictures of Skye and Bennett at the Mount Auburn Cemetery. I think this Cemetery is one of the most beautiful places I've been, especially in the fall with all the beautiful leaves. These pictures do not capture the beauty nor the enormity of the place.

We are happy to be here with family as well! We get together with Maria, Teppo and baby Ezra often and we love our discussions and visits. Here the kids are playing with Uncle Teppo at the Cemetery and obviously have a blast!

This picture is kind of dark, but it is so cute. Bennett loves Uncle Teppo...

 and all the leaves!

 Here is just one tree out of the hundreds, if not thousands of trees in the cemetery along with someone's finger. :)

This is after Ezra's baby blessing.

 Me and the kids at the Boston (or rather Belmont) Temple. Sorry you can't see the top, but it is beautiful and not too far.

 Bennett playing with some flowers at the temple despite all my efforts to try and get him to "just look."

We were also blessed by having my parents come and visit. We loved having them here. Thanks for coming Dad and Mom! This is at Walden Pond - which is also quite beautiful. (Am I convincing any of you to come visit yet?)

Now onto another subject - you would think this is Skye's Halloween costume, but this is just one of her many dress ups after quiet time. She comes out dressed differently every day. I love the choice of shoes... and the flower (lego) pacifier. She sure is creative and pretty cute.

 This is her real Halloween costume - she was a princess.

 And Bennett was a lion... this is him saying "cheese!" which he says any time I pull the camera out. He can't do it normally,  he always has to have this squinty face now.

So, there you have it.  Just a bit of what's been going on. I still need to take pictures of MIT and more of our apartment. The only one I have is this picture of our view of the big playground in the middle of our complex. but you can't really see it with all the trees. We go there almost every day and it never gets old. We feel very blessed to be here. We have made lots of fun friends are are grateful for the opportunity this is presenting us. Taylor loves MIT and feels he is finally in his niche. (Thank goodness!)
