Welcome Autumn!

Grandma and Pap-Pap H arrived safely from Alabama on Friday evening. K and EJ went to the airport to pick them up after dance class. It was a little chilly on Friday, but yesterday and today have been just beautiful fall weather - low 70s and lots of sunshine.

We took advantage of the weather to do some outdoor activities yesterday. First, we went apple picking at our favorite farm, Apple Annie's. Sophie had a great time chomping on her apple. She needed a little help from Daddy to grab some of the apples:

EJ eats about five apples a week on average, so she was happy to be picking some too:


Here's a shot where you can see just how loaded the trees are.

They also had a small selection of pumpkins to choose from. Sophie was thrilled to see them...

Last night, we ventured into Boston to go to dinner in the North End. We went to one of our favorite restaurants, Assagio, on Prince Street. Pretty good! Then, we tried to go to Cafe Vittoria for dessert, but there were lines around the corner, as well as long lines to even get pastries at Mike's and Modern, so we ended up at Caffe Paradiso. Everyone else had gelato, but I had to have the fruit tart...gosh, it was delicious! And definitely NOT on the Weight Watchers plan. And to top it off, we're working on an apple pie this afternoon! Yikes! It was a beautiful night for walking around.
