Ben likes leaves

Sunday was a beautiful New England day and we took a long walk along the Charles.






Super-Ben flies through the autumn leaves!


Chopper tolerated our photographic shenanigans.

Let's move already!!!

Powerwashing the studio space:


Let there be lights:





Amazing stairs that Tony built going from the living room to the deck:


Paperstone kitchen counters:


Master bath sink:


The barn door! Tony found it on Craigslist, rented a truck to pick it up in NH. It was then disassembled to get to the second floor, reassembled and hung from hefty reclaimed beams. We still need to extend the bottom, but Ben seems pretty happy with the result, overall.







Almost there... hopefully the next round of photos will be of us moving in!

The view from the top

Work has begun on the top of the firehouse tower; the crazy scaffolding allowed us to see the view from the cupola for the first time.



This is where we will be watching the fireworks from- you can see the Boston skyline from up there!


Tony and Ben look like ants from up there:


Going down is a little bit scarier than going up:

ben & clement's first night of partyin'

after a hard night...i suspect we'll be seeing similar photos when they turn 16, 21, etc...

Ben wants chips, now.

hmmm what are chips?

crunch! (just kidding...junk food is only for dad)

looks like we got 20% more baby for free as well.

With grandma and grandpa

Chopper says hey don't forget me

Four month birthday party

"This would be a better party if you let me eat some cake."

Mt Auburn Cemetary

Our weekly outing with Stef and Clement. Ben expressed some disdain for picturesque gardening and monuments, but overall he enjoyed himself.
