BOSTON...



I have been meaning to post some of our photos from Boston but it just didn't seem right to post happy pictures, when a lot of people were suffering and the whole town was in upheaval. So I decided to go ahead and show some highlights, because we did have a great time.. There is no place like Boston!





Packet Pick up!



Love this poster!


Happy Expo Goers!


Game Day at Fenway!

Abby and Mickey!




Boston Baby.. too cute!




Mr. Serious...




Tree girl...






5K race day!



The Winners..


Look! There's Daddy!



All Smiles!



Right on Hereford...Left on Boylston....



Here is me, explaining the above photo to Abby.  The last mile and a half is the same route as the marathon, I kept saying... this is the route your daddy and all the other runners will be running tomorrow!



Getting last minute cheers from Todd!

We are almost done!


Here is the finish line.. A little unsettling.




Happy to be done.. The younger Glazener pushed so hard at the end, she thought she was going to throw up!

Lunch with friends..


The Street performers were great!


Clown Abby!


Quincy Market.. a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!



I love this sign.. and this is a good beer by the way!


Another Street Performer..



The center of the Market place, so pretty!



Night time skyline..


 Race day...you never know what you are going to see.
 Here is TinkerBell!

 And there he is... Mile 20 and looking good!




Abby had a great time high-fiving the runners..

This guy, just slapped Abby's hand.. he was hurting,  but he still had enough energy to make a girl's day!


Walking back to get on the T......all smiles until we get there....the ride back was awful...






The only finish line picture we have, but happy to have both of these people safe in the hotel room!

 

Bittersweet...leaving on Tuesday Morning. Having breakfast at Legal Seafoods...

See ya next year Boston!!

Making the most of a sunny day...






While we didn't go anywhere fancy for Spring Break, we enjoyed our time at home and waited for spring to show up.  Right about the time spring break was coming to an end....here came the sun.. All good things come to those who wait....


So.. we took a little trip down the road to Muddy Creek and had lunch with some good friends...Abby and Parker took to the exploring route...

Alston...well he was content to sit and read his book.

 And read.....




And explore...

We did finally get them all on the trail...

 I love this one of Abby helping Parker up the bank..



You never know what you will find when you go off-roading...

Pure joy...LOVE it!!

You Get What You Get!

So when trying to get a cooperative subject for your photography class, you do whatever you can to bribe them.. and then when bribing fails.. you let then act silly.








I was trying to get Abby to smile a few last times in the car. I like that the lighting was hitting her face, but the sun was setting, so the sun was just a glow... NO HARSH LIGHT!!






Needless to say, she was tired, so I said, Close your Eyes....






Now make a funny face.....

                               

                                



And then I tried to get a natural smile!




The things we do for a good photo!

A Time To Reflect...

Here are a few photos from the past weekend. My Uncles and Aunt were in town for my sister's service. They had a great time with Abby and the dogs. We spent Saturday watching the ACC tournament and throwing the ball to Toby, then went out to Diamond Back Grille for dinner.


Abby and Uncle Tom..Love this one!
Uncle Ed and Lauri


Toby waiting patiently..

 Watching the Tar Heels!

Uncle Ed throwing the ball...again and again..

 Waiting for Toby..



Abby taunting Toby..



The lighting was so crappy, but I posted the pictures anyway...
Dinner Conversation..


Abby and Tetka



Somebody said something funny..

Abby saying..No thank-you to the Oysters..

Too cute.

Another sweet one..
