Whew! What a busy week we had! Last Thursday evening, Omi and Grandpa Bob arrived in Boston. Grandpa had a conference in Boston through the weekend so we didn’t see him until Sunday but we spent the weekend with Omi. Their flight got in around 6:30 pm and it took a little while for Omi and Daddy to get home but when they did Evan was all smiles for a little while. A special treat for Omi I’m sure, especially considering she hadn’t seen Evan since August in Chicago.
Friday was a pretty low key day with lots of Evan-TV. Saturday, I started another graduate class so I was gone all afternoon which gave Evan, Bruce and Omi some time to spend together. It was a chilly day but they bundled up and went for a walk on the bike path.
Sunday was race day! Bruce, Uncle Dan, cousins Mark and Jen, and I ran in the Amica Half Marathon in Newport. We woke up early and drove to RI to drop Evan off with Gramma so that we (the runners) could head to the race and Papa, Aunt Karin, Danny and Omi could come cheer us on. Grammy and Sean stayed back at the house with Gramma and Evan while we ran. It was a beautiful day! Much better than last year! And I think everyone was pleased with his or her performance. Bruce and I had a couple of minor injuries but we were able to push through them and complete the race in good time. After the race and post race festivities, we went back to Papa and Gramma’s house to watch the Pats and have some lunch. Grandpa Bob took the train to Providence so that he could join us for the celebration!
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were pretty low key as well considering that Bruce and I had both come down with Evan’s cold. He started getting sick on Friday and seemed to be mostly over it by Monday but it his us a bit harder. It was nice having Grandpa and Omi here as two more sets of hands that were eager and willing to take care of Evan in the mornings, allowing Bruce and I to sleep in a bit. Monday, Bruce and Grandpa hung the storm door, a project that was two years overdue! Tuesday, we all went to Old Sturbridge Village for lunch and to tour the village. It was a beautiful day and we were able to see both the sawmill and the carding mill in operation. Wednesday night Bruce and I were both feeling better and so we had a date night, leaving Evan to spend some QT with Omi and Grandpa. Thanks for coming to visit, Omi and Grandpa Bob!
