East Coast Visit (Nov 7-11)

Grammy and Grandpa took us out to lunch at a fabulous new Italian cafe, and we went home with a bag of cakes and pastries for later!  What a fun and yummy way to start off our trip!  It was great getting to spend time with family and friends.  Unfortunately, during the second half of our stay, many of us took turns getting knocked out by a terrible stomach bug which derailed our efforts to  see as many people as we'd hoped and put the brakes on few planned excursions to Andover, Boston and the Cape.
The local tour continued from the cafe to Salem's new "nano"-brewery.  Cheers!
The delicious seasonal brews went fast.

Jameson was far more interested in tracking the brewery's resident dog than in the beers.



With cousin Emily!

Let's play!

Okay, what's next?

Playtime with Grammy and Grandpa!  Not shown: the rest of the family room looks like a toy store - Jameson had a blast!

A quiet moment with Auntie Karen.

Cousins Jameson and James on their best behavior.

Uncle Rob is no match for James - watch out Emily!

Posing with Grammy...Love you!!!
Evening get-together with old pals in Cambridge.  We were sad to not get to see all of our friends in town.  Such a short trip.  Our next one will have to be longer!
Chris reading to Jameson.  We wouldn't normally leave Chris in charge and uncensored, but this seems to be going so well...

...uh, Mom?  I know I can't read yet, but I think he's making this story up as he goes along.



More storytime.  Now Timmy is joining in on the fun!

The little ones posing (Teresa, Timmy, Jameson, and Nate).  Timmy took the opportunity to bust out a breakdancing move.

Jameson in amazement at one powerful smile.
