Longest Weekend of the Year

And what a weekend it was! It's taken me a while to get back to posting this week...we're very busy with the big move. We had such a busy weekend. Our offer was officially accepted on Friday, and now have a place to live in Chicago. It's in a cute little area of Lakeview - we're very excited about it (more on the new abode still to come.)

Saturday was the Summer Solstice, and we had a little bbq with family and friends - one last get together before we pack up for good and leave for Chicago. It was so much fun, Lillie really enjoyed hanging out with everyone.

Then on Sunday, Lillie experienced her first Red Sox game! The Cardinals put up a good fight, but too bad for them the Sox were ready to impress our little one for her first MLB experience. We cornered Wally for a photo op, what luck! Lillie couldn't quite make it for the extra innings, but she had a blast while she was awake. After the game, we hopped on a Boston Pedicab to get back to our car. It was pretty cool to be pulled along in the open cart. Lillie was loving it!

My Dad Rules!

Happy Father's Day! We just got back from our second trip to Chicago. Lillie is sound asleep and we're busy unpacking and watching the game. We're a little giddy from such a great trip! It was a bit of a whirlwind day, but it was nice.


We saw several condos while Grandma & Grandpa Murphy watched Lillie (how fun for all!) and it seems we've narrowed it down to four finalists! Perhaps an offer this week?? We'll see.

It was great to hang out with the dads. I tried to give Conor a great relaxing morning...he was off diaper duty and, as a special treat, I made his coffee (well, I tried my best anyway). His big surprise was tickets to next week's Red Sox game against the Cardinals. We can't wait!

Hope all you dad's enjoyed the day.

Here, Lillie enjoys the view from the plane. Hello Mr. Blue Sky.

B-o-r-i-n-g

The flu has hit. Lillie had to stay home from daycare for most of the week, which meant spending most her time with mom. I snapped this photo this morning...I think it sums up how she's feeling right now. She's missing all her friends in her classroom, but they're all sick too! Hopefully things will go back to normal next week.

We're heading to Chicago tonight for another round of house hunting. Keep your fingers crossed!

Halftime

The c's are down 5 at the half, but we're not worried. Celeb sightings so far include Joey Mcintyre, Donny Wahlberg, John Kerry, Magic, and, of course, the king of pop (above).

Beat LA!

I'm going to try something new and techno-nerdy for my first entries to sillielillie and live blog from the Celtics finals game... Just getting ready to start!

Going Green

Green is everywhere in Boston! The city is already buzzing with excitement about the game tonight! On our walk to daycare, this was the view we had as we walked by the Garden. I have to admit, I'm starting to get a little excited about it all too. Conor will be at Game 1 tonight...wow! BEAT LA!

(Update: For you non-Bostonians, that big golden trophy-like basketball/hoop isn't normally there. It's way cool, huh?)
