To the daddy who teaches me something new every day, who works harder than anyone I know for the well being and happiness of our family, who can lift my spirits after the worst of times with a one-line email…
[oh, and who volunteered his day to install my air conditioning]
Happy Father’s Day Daddy. You deserve it and so much more.
To the mama who has put up with me for the past twenty three years (plus nine months) and counting, you deserve for it to be Mother’s Day all year long. Love you to the moon and back.

This is my baby brother…
We moved him into college Friday…
To this beautiful street…
Then we drove a couple miles to the other side of town to move me into my first post-grad apartment!
…Ok, we didn’t actually do any moving– that’s happening next weekend. And therefore I don’t have any good photos to share. But I did do a lot of painting and cleaning and enjoyed a tiring but fun day with my new roommates! Then our parents rewarded us with a deelish dinner out…
So Labor Day Weekend for us was less beach-y and more labor-y but good all the same. It’s a big time of change but what can you do but embrace it? :)
Hope you all are enjoying a third day of this weekend, remember to link up to share your Instagrams!

Well Irene, I think you’ve made your point! I hope all of you and your families and homes safely avoided her wrath. What a damper she caused on everyone’s weekends.
Or, tried to cause on ours. We had Red Sox tickets and since MLB refused to call off the game (despite the pouring rain), and since my dad refused to let the tickets go to waste (we weren’t getting refunded), we ventured out into the storm for some good ‘ol fashioned baseball. Ponchos and all.
I’ve been in Boston for four years now, yet this was the first Sox game I’ve made it to. Can’t say this is how I pictured it, but it was definitely a fun adventure nonetheless. My brother even had his hands on one of the fly balls! Until a grandpa grabbed it out of his hands, that is. It’s okay he had a cute grandson, we forgive him.
And then Sunday the crazy lady hit. And boy did that wind howl, from about 10 am yesterday and all through last night. Here’s the nautical outfit I wore to brave the storm, props to A Little Bit of Lacquer for the idea!
We’re still without power (I’m blogging from the train), so yesterday was full of candlelit board games and reading. Well, reading for my mom. Now that I’m a Kindle-kind-of-girl I couldn’t even read since our WiFi was out and I had no new books! Pathetic I am in this day and age, I tell ya.
But in all seriousness, I hope none of you had to experience anything worse than a power outage from Irene. My town definitely has some clean up and repairing to do, but more than anything we were lucky.
I’m linking up with a {little} dash of ash again today to share all these Instagrams. You all should as well, I want to hear your weekend/Irene stories!

I’m linking up with a {little} dash of ash again today with another Instagram! Snapped this shot of my adorable mom and godmother having some good old-fashioned girl talk in the backyard. What cuties.
They’ve been friends for about 483764593 years… met while living in the same apartment building and love to remind me how they were so poor they had to share cans of tuna fish for dinner. Hey– it brought them close!
Thanks again for hosting this Ashley! Everyone remember to link up today!
post script: I’m blogging from the commuter rail, how fun is that??
