Pray for the Saxons

A dear little boy's life on earth ended on Saturday. Paul is now with His Savior and Heavenly Father! Please pray for his amazing family as they grieve and walk on, remembering their little one and the abundant yet short life God gave him to share with them. Their blog is in our friends list - now titled "Pray for the Saxons." The funeral is tomorrow at First Woodway (Waco, TX). My heart will be in Waco tomorrow... My prayers are with you, Terrill and Leigh...

My new art

See previous post for explanation.
(Greg was so mesmerized by my bright shirt that he cut off the top of my head! hehe)

A party & a date

Today was Ryan's birthday party! (We lived next door to Eliot & Jessie Fay and their two foster boys Robert (8) & Ryan (7) on campus last year.) This is actually Robert smiling for the camera. The theme was tie-dye (sp?), and there was tons of color and water fun! Jessie throws the best kid parties ever! I didn't catch a picture of the amazing cake, but if I find one, I'll definitely post it.

Eliot, Jessie, Greg, and I were quite exhausted after the party. We sat down at the tie-dye table and enjoyed a bag of skittles (yum!) and a pipe smoke. Let me clarify - the boys enjoyed the smoking part and we girls enjoyed the smell. All enjoyed the skittles! Taste the rainbow!
A summary of our adult fun
Greg and I left the North Shore party, parked in Davis, and took the T into Charles/MGH. Thanks to our friend Corrie who took me out last Sunday, we had an amazing date walking Charles Street, Newbury Street, the Public Garden, and Copley Square (see pictures below). And we had some delicious HUGE slices of pizza from the Upper Crust! Thanks, Corrie, for the awesome Boston insight!

The 4th and More

So I couldn't resist posting our pastor's son with one of those foam pillows on his head. He's hilarious! The Boston fireworks over the Charles were incredible! You should ALL come next summer!
The constant drizzle and rain was another story... We were out in it for 6 hours!

Ang & Andrew - They're so perfect for each other!

The Fray in Concert

Greg & I had an AMAZING date last night! We saw The Fray live at The Tweeter Center in Mansfield, Mass (south of Boston). It was incredible! A grand piano took center stage, and they had these awesome huge lanterns that hung over the band on a few songs - great mood setters! We would definitely recommend The Fray live. Mae opened for them (one of our favorite bands), and another band, Okay Go, played as well. Quite entertaining. Here are a few pictures from the outdoor venue. (Once again, sorry about the quality, but mobile pictures are better than nothing!)
