from Boston beauty to desert beauty…we love cousins
Shortly after the new year we got a return visit from my sister Saydi and her family en route across the country to their new stomping grounds. We got cousin Hazel first, who requested as a Christmas gift to get a plane ticket to come stay with us rather than drive across the country. …

Boston wrap-up — Boston University, art galore, Harvard and home with the Shumways
The beginning of the end of this December whirlwind trip found us at Fenway en route to BU, my old stomping grounds. For that whole Freshman year I lived right down the street from the “Green Monster” so it was fun to show the girls. …with their “fake” Red Sox hats. Ha! Then it was…

Boston–Day 2 — Copley Square, the Freedom Trail, North End, Fanuiel Hall and spilling out Christmas

Boston with Max (part two)
Well, I’ll start off by saying our Boston trip was definitely no photographic journey. With gorgeous photo ops around every single corner it was SOOOOO hard for me not to morph into my behind-the-lens mode. But, it was Max’s trip too, and well, how should I put it? Max dislikes cameras very much. Well, maybe…

Boston (part one)
We arrived in Boston with A LOT of trouble…surprisingly not all of it was due to the feisty two-year-old we had in tow. We almost missed both connections (it’s the first time I’ve been paged to a flight because I was SO late that every single other person was boarded but us). We had to…
