Busy busy busy

So, we have been a bit busy in the past month or so - we bought a house! Between inspections, repairs, negotiations, and signing (and initialing) paper after paper, I haven't taken the time to snap many photos of Mr. Sean.

We had to have major electrical work done on the house. So far those are just about the only pictures I have of the house. Sorry! I had a bunch from when we went through it a long time ago, but we lost those. I will take some more soon and post them.

Here is a utility truck in the backyard as seen from the deck. Sean was very excited until one of the workers got up in the cherry picker and starting sawing limbs off of a tree - that was scary and we went back inside!





The house is the last on a dead-end street, so our neighbors on one side are deer. Howdy, neighbors! (Please stop eating the landscaping!)





Here's a photo of Jeff's new office. Well it's not quite done yet. We still need to have the walls replastered, and then we might paint it too. I will post an "after" shot when it's all done.





Afternoon nap.



Sean is quickly learning many words. He recognizes more words than I can list here, and he says a few (shoes, out, noodles, truck, wheels, cheese, hot) and signs a few (milk, water, all done, out, more, empty). He also has signs for other things that he made up himself, but I am still trying to figure out what they mean. For example one day he looked at Grandma H. straight in the eye, and very deliberately put his hand on his mouth and then on top of his head. We still haven't figured that one out!

Boston part 2

Ok I found some more pictures....



Here is Sean watching the birds at the Boston Common while munching on a cracker.




Sean overlooks Boston.





Extreme close up.





Sean enjoyed lounging on the cushy chair.





Sean was also interested in the guitarist.





Just running around.





Here Sean examines the differences between hardwood and carpet with one of Anne's cousins.





Here we are at dinner.





Ok, that's all I've got! Good night.

Boston

Last weekend we flew to Boston to attend Elio and Anne's wedding (Elio and Jeff went to school together in Webster). Congratulations to Anne and Elio! Their wedding was beautiful and everyone had a great time.



Here Sean is yawning already, and the wedding hasn't even started! Luckily he did just fine. There were babysitters in a nearby room so we dropped Sean off so that he wouldn't disrupt the ceremony. He did fine and the ceremony went smoothly too. :)





The wedding and reception were in the State Room overlooking the Boston Harbor.





Grandma Spoonhower, Mom, and Sean. (Sean is not picking his nose, he just puts his finger up to his nose when he's tired.)





Groovin' on the dance floor.





Packing up to go home on Monday morning.





I think I might have some more photos, I'll see if I can dig them up.
