Merry Christmas

   I had a lovely Christmas with my family.  Carin was so happy with her gifts.

Last 2 weeks

  I have been very busy the last two weeks.  The Friday after Thanksgiving, I went to my 20th high school reunion.  (SIC)  I saw a lot of old classmates.  It was nice.  I am happy to make some old contacts!

My family came over for brunch the Sunday after Thanksgiving. 

Saturday I went into Boston and took some pictures.  Here is a couple of my favorites.

 

The custom house picture above is something that I took back in July 2006 and wanted to retake the same image.  I am happy with the results.  (It took me forever to find the exact spot I took the original.) 

That afternoon, we went to the local shelter to get my daughter Carin use to the idea of getting a doggie. Carin is scared of dogs b/c when she was little, a small dog jumped up on her and licked her all over her face.  (She loved dogs until that point.)   Needless to say, we did not purchase a dog, put we purchased a cat.  He is black and white. 

 

Carin named him Kevin after one of the signers from the Jonas Brothers.  I wanted to name him Scratchy from the Simpson’s but no one agreed with me.  Kevin is still getting use to the house and us.
