Weekend in the 'Burbs

Maggie had a fun weekend housesitting in Wellesley. She was able to spend lots of time with her Grandma, her Aunt Patty (whom she affectionately calls Pat-Pat), her cousins John and Katie, and plenty of other family. She also had fun visiting the duck pond, collecting pine cones, practicing her stair-walking, learning how to make a rocking chair rock, learning how to climb onto a coffee table, playing the piano, and going down many a slide. She is already looking forward to her next trip to the 'burbs!

Great Weekend

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend in the city, assisted by some surprisingly Spring-like weather. On Saturday, we started the day with a jaunt around the Harborwalk and music class. Then we enjoyed a 6+ mile walk along the Charles and through Kenmore and the Back Bay, making several park and playground stops along the way. The one casualty of the day was Maggie's poor uneaten ice cream cone. The weather Sunday was a bit more seasonal, but we still enjoyed strolling the Greenway and hitting up the Aquarium. Although Maggie has been there about a dozen times, her foot-stomping excitement at the turtles and penguins hasn't waned a bit.

St. Patrick's Day

Maggie wants to wish everyone a happy St. Patrick's Day!

We were home this evening, while Bill was out to dinner with friends. Maggie clearly was bored (see below), and felt like we should do something more exciting on this holiday, so we decided to take her dog for a walk up and down the street. We ran into our next door neighbors who were walking their real dog, walked around the block with them, and had a great time. It made her day (that is, until she and her friend were hugging goodbye, and she fell down and hit the back of her head on the sidewalk - don't worry, she's okay). For nightsnack, she got to eat apple slices (her favorite).

All in all, an unorthodox, but fun St. Patrick's evening for me and Maggie.
