Keeping busy

Omar is off to College Station in two weeks for his defense. He's been working quite diligently during the the last few weekends finishing up the last bits of his dissertation so I've been trying to keep the girls and myself entertained outside of the house now that it's warming up and we're finally ALL better. Lots of pictures below of our recent fun around town.







I recently discovered the park in the above pics while walking less than a mile from our house. I was surprised to come across it because there are already 3 parks that I know of that are within a mile from the house. I have to say that is my favorite part about living here. I can walk for a mile and find restaurants, shops, parks, walk to our Dr. appointments, the grocery store, Omar's work and Elena's school.

And you've seen the scenery below. It's the Charles River which separates Cambridge and Boston. This is my favorite nearby activity. I love walking by the river on sunny days and then taking the girls to the park right next to the river when I'm done. They love watching the runners, cyclists, kids on trikes and bikes, and most of all the furry friends they get to pet.








And just for fun a picture of the girls' favorite pasttime. Can't you tell?

It is so neat that you have so much within walking distance. No need for a walking buddy these days, huh?

Your girls are so precious! I can't believe how big they are getting.

I can't believe how big they are, either!! I cannot wrap my mind around the fact that it has almost been a year since I lived in CS....

I failed to mention Rachel that I miss my walking buddies! Nothing beats walking with friends!
