Few more Photos

Hi Everyone, Tata here.

Here are a few more pictures from our week down the cape. More to follow....








As you can see from the last photo Anthony really enjoyed playing Bocci WHILE drinking. I think the booze is still coming out of his pores.

In addition to hanging around the house eating and drinking we also visited the beach, Nantucket, Anthony golfed alot, I went paddle boat riding with the girls, and ate several ice creams.

Now its back to work and day to day life. It was really hard to wake up yesterday and drive into the office. I was back at work 5 minutes and it was like my vacation never happened!!

Chelsea enjoyed her week long vacation as well. I think for the most part she ate steak, eggs, ginger snaps and marshmallows. She visited with the newspaper man, ran loose around the circle trying to get Boppie to chase her, and kept Nannie company. I think Boppie and Nannie really miss her.

I have to bring Chelsea to the vet today. She was supposed to have her normal check up but between the hours of 6am and 10 this morning she threw up about 6 times, poor little puppy. So Anthony is changing now and then we are going bye bye in the car to get her checked out. You can't fool her though, she knows the route to the vet and does NOT get out of the car easily. If she is good we'll get her a donut on the way home.

Cape Update #1

I figured I would post a quick blog while everyone is sleeping. Kristin and I got down to the Cape late in the day Saturday after going to Richie and Jenn's ceremony. We hit a bunch of traffic, but all in all it was not too bad.

Once we got here, we unpacked the car, set up our room and went outside and hung out the rest of the night. We had hotdogs and hamburgers for dinner. Yesterday, Bryan, Scott (Bryan's identical twin) and I went to Starbuck. When we got back to house, we sat outside for a bit and read the paper. The guys went over to Bernella's (tourist emporium) later that morning to pick up some water noodles for the beach. While we headed over to the store, the girls went to the beach to get us a spot. Once we got back from the store, we headed to the beach, where we stayed for a couple of hours. The sun was intense yesterday. Kristin got red as usual....and YES, she did have lots of sunscreen on! She wore her glasses, and as a result, she has white circles around her eyes. After the beach, we came back, fired up the grill, made some burgers and dogs and 3 boxes of mac'n'cheese!!!!

Yesterday afternoon, we watched part of the Sox game before giving up. The guys went mini golfing and the girls went to do paddle boats. After we got back, we played some competitive boccie ball, got spoken to by the neighbors and ate some of our drunken watermelon. Bryan and I went to the Sand Dollar (locate bar) while everyone else stayed at the house cooking ribs.

We are having a good time. It is fun when you have 10 other people because there are always things to do. I do not know what the plans are for today. They say rain today and tomorrow. Bryan and I were hoping to get a game of golf in today. I have some pictures I will be posting later this week.

Water Lovers

Hey Everyone!

TaTa and I are finally back in CT after being in Maine much of the week. As Kristin mentioned in her prior blog, she and I headed up to Maine for the end of the week to spend with Callum and Jamanda. We had a good time and enjoyed spending it with our nephew! We cannot believe how much he has grown in such a short period of time. I think the hightlight of my weekend was the time I got to spend holding Callum and playing with him and his "friends." I also enjoyed giving Callum a bath. I think it is so funny how much Callum enjoys bath time. He sits in his chair smiling and kicking his feet. No sooner do you take himm out of the tub, does he start screaming!





As Kristin mentioned, Jared and I went into Freeport one of the days to LL Bean. I ended up buying two kayakes, one for Kristin and one for me. Today, we went to Avery Pond and went kayaking for an hour. When you think of a pond, you think small, however, this pond was like a lake. No one there except us, which was fantastic. The weather was amazing down here today. We took some pictures of the water lillies and the surrodnings, which are below. There are even some pictures of us.









After our kyake adventure, we headed home and I cut the lawn while TaTa did some errands. Afterwards, we went into Mystic and then headed to the supermakret. Tonight, we had some grilled flatbread and burgers as well as a sampling of various side salads. I also made cookies for a little snack.

Last night, Kristin and I watched our favortie newphew while Jamanda went to a wedding in Brockton. After they left for the wedding, Callum played with his "friends" for a short while before he decided to start crying. We ended up feeding him, changing him and burping him thinking he would stop crying, however, he did not. I ended up holing him in my arms while I danced and sang to him, which seemed to do the trick. After an hour of dancing, I put him down in his chair, where he sat happily for over an hour talking with his "friends." Around 8:00pm, he started to cry, so I sat on the couch with him and we watch the Sox for a short while before he ended up falling asleep. In an effort to change him for bed, he ended up waking up. We ended up feeding him again before putting him down for the night.

Hopefully you got a chance to watch the Sox game last night. I turned it on at the top of the 1st, when it was the A's winning 2-0. Youk ended up hitting a 2 run homer with Bay following with a 3 run homer bringing the score 5-2, Sox. Game ended 12-2, Sox. It was great being able to finally sit and watch the entire game without many interruptions.

Well, I am off to get some things done before bed. Not looking forward to work tomorrow, however, knowing we are in vacation in a week maked it much easier to deal with.
