Eva the Wheelie Queen

Turns out Eva LOVES wearing a helmet...who knew? Today was her first-ever bike ride...we took her to "Hub on Wheels", a big charity ride that shuts down most of Boston for a few hours. Eva had a great view of the Charles River, Storrow Drive, and all the Boston landmarks...she was laughing and yelling for 9 of the 10 miles before passing out in her seat.


With Mama in her "Ibert" bike seat.


Eva would yell "Yeah yeah!" before every downhill


Relaxing downtown...



Post-race potassium.


And sometimes after a hard day on the bike, you just have to drive yourself home...




Speaking of home, this is Eva's favorite porch pastime!

Moving time!

A couple weeks ago we loaded all our earthly belongings into a U-Haul - again - and moved to our very first non-rented house! We've had a little time to settle in, and are already finding ourselves a little overwhelmed by the seemingly endless list of projects - both little and big - we'd like to take on. Is there such a thing as home improvement ADD?

A few highlights thus far:



Moving Day! Now which box was the baby in, again...?



Baby summit! Lily and Eva meld minds (as Amy and Cat run interference when necessary).



Enjoying our new backyard - and sandbox! - on one of the last happy days of summer.



Have we mentioned Eva has started feeding herself? Yeah, we've had second thoughts about it too.




Enjoying the new bathtub.

Eva's learned a few things in her many months of life, including, now, how to give - and take!
