Spring is still here

A few weeks have come and gone since my last post, but not much has changed in the weather here in the Northeast.  It is still Spring (see my last post entitled: "Spring has come").  There have been some bright, sunny, warm days, and yet there are plenty of days where I still find myself in need of a jacket.   Here are a few more warm, sunny pictures of our recent adventures! 

Dominic and Mikaal playing at the fish pond (with Mikaal's mom-Alejandra...I'm going to miss this lovely lady)

Cherry blossoms - they always come and go too quickly

Out for a stroll at the park

"Popcorn popping on the apricot tree" (for anyone who's familiar with that children's song)

I love these two cuties

Dominic is learning his animal noises.  This is his understanding of: "What does a fish say?"

Dominic's friend Cora.  She is only 2 weeks older then him and they are so cute when they play together

Stay cool mom

Dazed and confused?

He has started to like wearing sunglasses and I am so amused by it!

Dominic loves our neighbor Shyamala.  We spend time with her during the day while her 2 girls are at school

Carson (our friend's son who is a few months younger then Dominic)

Cora and Dominic having a jam session

Our last formal event hosted by Yale's School of Management.  Thanks to our friends Brandon and Katelyn for hanging out with Dominic so we could enjoy the night!

Happy Mother's Day! Michael bought me a beautiful new purse.  He totally surprised me.  I was expecting a delayed celebration because he had been so busy with finals.  What a sweetheart.

We have spent a lot of time looking for apartments in Boston in the past few weeks.  More then anything we are trying to get familiar with Boston itself and all the surrounding cities to figure out which specific areas we would want to live in.

I love the South End 

Throwing rocks in Jamaica Pond

a friendly visitor happened upon us while we were throwing rocks

To celebrate the completion of Michael's classes, we went on a camping/rock climbing trip to New Hampshire for a few days.

Our campground.  So beautiful and green.

Loving the tent

After a chilly night, we are excited for a day of rock climbing

Nothing like a big hearty breakfast to set you up for a successful day of climbing (slightly sarcastic-notice the bacon)

Helping me make breakfast

We encountered a pet donkey

Rock Climbing in New Hampshire is beautiful.  Making my way to the Crux of the climb

Pulling the Crux

Making our way up to the area Michael wants to climb.  Tricky.

Michael gearing up for a very difficult climb

 It has been a great spring! Stay tuned! Graduation pictures coming soon!
