Handsome Rob in Boston, and Blueberries for Rachel

We loved having my little brother Rob stay with us during August. We had such a wonderful time showing him all our favorite spots in and around Boston, including downtown at the Public Gardens and Boston Common, Six Flags, Newport R.I., and much more. And Rachel LOVED having a constant playmate (she kept Uncle Rob very busy!). Make way for our little Duckling....

Beach Babe....
Six Flags -- first amusement park ride...

In early September, to help us cope with missing Rob after he went back to CA for school, we took advantage of one of the last really warm weekends and did one of our favorite New England activities-- Blueberry picking. Rachel was in heaven eating her favorite treats by the handful right off the bush...
