Hi All,
As usual the summer has gone by too fast. We are both looking forward to fall though. We have the most beautiful autumn in New England. We are hoping to go away for a weekend in the fall and will take pics for you all to see. Since my cell phone takes pretty good pics I have been better about posting with pictures. I think a blog post with pictures is so much better than one with no pictures at all.
On a different note, I am officially addicted to Facebook. Even more so I am addicted to Scrabble on Facebook. I've been playing against an old friend from high school and she whips my butt ever time. She introduced me to this game called Pathwords. Have any of you heard of it? I am HORRIBLE at it but am determined to get better. It has gotten so out of hand that I was up until 3:00 am last night playing it. Thank God for my laptop! Actually the laptop might be feeding into the addiction b/c if I had to sit up in my chair until 3 am at our stationary computer I would not have done it. Anyway, if any of you know this Pathword game and have any pointers, please share. I think I am going to go to Boarders today and by one of those little books and try to perfect it that way as opposed to playing online with the timer. I get so frazzled as I watch the time running out that I think it hinders my game!!! Ok, I am a certified addict.
Ok, enough about my obsessive habits. Last Sunday we spent the day with Kyle's sister Heather, her hubby and daughter. We went to the Museum of Science in Boston. Kyle and I had not been in years and really enjoyed it. We spent about 3.5 hours there but could of spent an entire day. Below is a shot of Uncle Kyle and our niece Alyssa. It is a little blurry but clear enough for you to get the gist. The spaceship is a replica of the Appolo. They also had a butterfly exhibit that we went to as well (2nd pic). That was super cool to see all the different butterflies. I had no idea that butterflies only live for 2 weeks at the most. Fascinating!
Anyway, that is about it from here.

Summer Pics and Weight Loss Update
Hi All,
The above picture was taken last weekend @ the pool @ our condo complex. We had our nieces Lauren & Courtney (both 10) for a sleepover. It was such a blast. The 4th person in the picture (2nd one in from the right) is my friend Megan who is Courtney's nice on her mom's side. Meg also slept over and we had the best time.
As most of you know, I've been doing Weight Watchers for 6 weeks. I think this is the longest I've ever stuck with it. I am a total yo yo dieter. I know WW works but I always lose my motivation. Not this time. I got weighed today and I lost 2.5 pounds. In total, so far I've lost almost 12 pounds. Yeah! I'm really pumped and feel driven to keep going. So, last weekend I was totally off the diet from Saturday-Sunday. When the girls slept over we had pizza for dinner and delicious sundaes for dessert. I also had a few alcoholic bevs! By the time Monday rolled around, I knew I had to kick butt for the rest of the week if I wanted to have a loss by the big Friday weigh in. I am really psyched that I lost despite the 48 hour binge! I think it helped that I was sick on Monday and did not eat much.
Courtney (L) & Lauren (R) being super patient with Auntie and her need to take millions of pics!
Ok, the shot above was taken for my friend Moriah. She made the earrings that the girls are wearing. Unfortunately the shot is a little blurry. I gave them both these earrings that Moriah made and they really loved them. I also showed them Moriah's website and they loved everything!! In this picture they are lying on our pull out couch. Even though we have a spare bedroom they wanted to sleep on the pullout.
