Farah at the Farmers Market

This is Riley's new best friend!!! - his big cousing Farah who lives about three blocks away from us in Cambridge & knows ALL the coolest parks to hang out in (especially important in the Hot Boston summers). She was famous this week with her picutre in the Boston paper as she enjoyed a snap pea from the local farmers market. This summer Riley expects to spend lots of stroller time learning the ins & outs of the hood from Ms. F.

Zahara Effie & Matai Liana

Well, they are here! Rina & Steph's two girls decided to enter our world on Father'sDay... June 18th at 9:30pm. When I showed the photo to little Riley he stared at the computer for 5 minutes. We are so sad to not be in SF to meet the girls until October... but are so happy that they are here & healthy & gorgeous. Congrats Rina & Steph!!!!!!!

Saying goodbye to SF

June 12th - Monday

Marianna relaxes on the couch with lil Blasto before taking the futon away. Mabel is going nuts at this point barking at everyone who comes into the house and touches any of the remaining furniture - we are getting down to not much left to sit on... 

Tea Time

Jenny took us out to tea with Annie & Mama Roseanna at Lovejoys. Funny that this will be the last time at Lovejoys for awhile - I feel like I have been coming here for special occasions forever - Emily planned a lot of our wedding over pots of tea, talking about having a baby, our baby shower ... Little Riley will hopefully have a birthday celebration here some time in the coming years - until then I am sure we can find some type of tea party in Boston.
