Things are busy around here these days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My tiny baby boy entered a new decade last week! Years ago my grandpa made a comment about how we take so many more pictures of babies than of older people. That came back to me just now as I realized I only took two pictures of Lex on his 20th birthday, but probably a hundred on the actual day of his birth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The photos weren’t even good photos. Poor kid. I’ll have to do better on the 21st!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The weekend before, E and her friends went to Senior Prom. They took photos at the Powerhouse, had dinner at Panera, survived torrential rain to get there, then danced their hearts out at the Marriott. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also attended the FRC wrap party on a recent weekend. E and her teammates designed trophies for the coaches and we 3D printed them. We had fun at the party and everyone enjoyed the awards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m currently home alone, getting a tiny taste of the upcoming year. Lex and E drove to Worcester together to meet with Lex’s roommates and landlord for next year. They planned the trip, including extra time for whimsey, and seem to be having a great trip. They’ll be home soon. E sent me some photos while Lex and his roomies made plans. I can’t wait for the full update when they get home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R spent the day sleeping, waking up at 4pm when I woke him!, then headed out to spend the evening with friends. I’ve been alone with the cat and dog for company. <\/p>\n\n\n

We are skewing towards calm around here, but the chaos still rears up… usually around midnight! And I love it. <3<\/p>\n\n\n\n
