Boston

We took a quick trip to Boston last weekend. We stopped in New Haven, Connecticut on our way and visited the beautiful Yale University campus.

In Boston, we spent a full day walking along the Freedom Trail that took us through historic areas and past places like Paul Revere's home and grave site, the Massachusetts State House, the USS Constitution ship, and the Boston Massacre site. We loved following that red brick line all through the city.

We really loved Boston, and enjoyed crossing another city off of our list of places to see. And of course we had fun just hanging out together.

Me & Him

I love that my birthday falls on or around Father's Day every year. I turned 26 on Thursday, and it was a really great day. Even though we went about our basic daily routine like usual, it was nice to have a little something special to celebrate. And nothing beats a pizza picnic in the backyard.

It was Joseph's turn today, and even though his gifts will probably get returned or exchanged, I think it was a successful Father's Day. :) We love him.

Little Clothes

Much like last summer, I have been busy making clothes for Anna. This time, though, they are not quite as tiny since she is almost a year old! I've really enjoyed making up my own patterns, learning new techniques (shirring is awesome!), and reusing my old dresses or shirts to make things for her.

And it is so nice that she will happily wear anything I put her in. :) It is fun having a girl.
