Awesome weekend

We started off Saturday meeting my teammate Chip for snowshoeing in Needham.



Elliot was a good sport and enjoyed the view from the big baby backpack (hand-me-down from our wonderful ex-neighbors). Afterwards, we were famished and stopped at Bickfords for brunch. Once we got home, Elliot took such an unusually long afternoon nap that I ran out of little projects to do. :)

On Sunday, brunch again! We met our friends Julius and Sara at Masa. So yummy. We all went to Barisimo for coffee after that. Ed loved the Colombian coffee that we got so much that I'm concerned that the entire pound will be gone by tonight.

Finally, Ed and Elliot watched the Superbowl while I finished up a big project, a web site (which I put together using a pre-built template) for Elliot's small, non-profit day care.

So... perfect mix of exercise, brunch, family time, and productivity. I wish all weekends could be so awesome.

Snoeshoeing

I've really wanted to go snowshoeing for weeks. We finally made it out today! We had a lot of fun at Great Brook Farm, and Elliot napped through the whole thing.

Maine

A couple of weeks ago, we went up to Maine with Rach and Josh to visit our friends Steve and Mary Ann. They have a great Cape in the woods near Bar Harbor. Here's some of the local wildlife.



And their cat, Emma.



Rach and I snowshoeing, with Josh in the background. We did the Little Long Pond Loop. Ed and I had never been on that carriage trail before -- it's outside the park and bikes are banned. So now I think we've done all the carriage roads, either on bikes or snowshoes.



More snowshoeing.



Happy trails!
