Vacation - Boston leg, March 5-9

Time for Vacation! We flew into Boston on Thursday night. We had a very busy schedule for our few days in Boston - spend time with Amy's parents, meet with Pastor Henry who will be officiating our wedding, visit with Amy's sister Jen and her husband Kevin and meet their new son Lucas, visit with Leanne and Logan at their new apartment, celebrate Amy's grandfathers birthday. And to top it all off, Amy wanted to go snow boarding on Saturday so we drove up to Loon Mountain in New Hampshire on Friday evening, hung out with some of Amy's close friends - Pete, Damien, Kristin and Katie - at Kelly's parents house (thanks Kelly). The snow was great, Amy fell hard on one of the first runs but recovered (especially after a beer to warm up around lunchtime). Anthony was the party pooper of the bunch, crashing at 10pm on Friday night and opted out of skiing on Saturday (for fear of a broken leg before his wedding). Boring!

We made it back to Norwell for some much needed Logan time. Not much changes with this little guy - still playing with his fire trucks!



Then to Jen and Kevin's house for the first meeting of Baby Lucas. He was so small and cute. Amy spent the whole time trying to figure out who he looked like. Anthony spent the whole time playing trains with Teddy. It was a great visit and we even got some time with Lucas' eyes open. He seemed to be gazing into Amy's eyes directly.






"Wait, how does this work?"



The rest of out trip entailed good family time. We loved Leanne's new apartment, were happy to see Amy's grandparents and get to celebrate her grandfather's birthday. And we could never forget Lucy, the Martin family's new puppy german short hair pointer. Hayley is not happy!! A big shout out to Ed for arranging access to the Y for Amy and Anthony to work out every day they were in town (or maybe only one day). That one day trip was important, though, as Amy had been professing what a good basketball player she was. First 3 shots at the Y, AIR BALLS. But, Anthony followed with his own Air ball shortly thereafter, proving once again that they are perfect for eachother.

On Tuesday morning, we headed to the airport to fly to Ft. Myers, Florida to meet up with Anthony's parents and family.
