Yea, well, we made it to Boston on Saturday with Phil, Joe and Anna Banana. We walked around the Boston Common and Anna just was amazed with the Swans and ducks and squirrels – and all the people, of course. We had dinner at one of our favorite restaurants McCormick and Schmick’s (before leaving my friend Samantha told me to EAT HEARTY while in Boston and that I did Sam, that I did :) ) On Sunday, today, we slept in (yay!), ate hearty again (yes!) and took the boys to their music camp. The camp this week has 50 students attending and the boys will be matched up with a couple others to form a group, practice during the week (some well known bands and music artists are coming for their entertainment during the week so that’s cool) and then they will be making a video and CD. Next weekend we go back to Boston to watch the kids perform (and eat hearty once more!). We heard the Red Sox lost Saturday (Joe was bummed but Phil was happy!). Here’s the guys today where they are dorming for the camp at Stonehill College….
Tony – Hope you and Meg enjoyed yourself in Foxboro this weekend at Country Fest! Wish I could have gone!
Nick – Hope you had fun with Jen in NYC and NJ at Ann’s birthday get together. And Jen’s b-day is next weekend…give Jen birthday hugs from us :)
Tony and Nick – see you next Sunday and Monday for the move ;)
OK, I’m falling asleep as I type! This mom needs to get some shut-eye. May not blog again for a few weeks as between finals for my summer classes, another weekend in Boston, moving from one house to another, a week in Saratoga, NY, and a trip to Lake Winnipesaukee – oh, and then getting things together for the kids new school year, August is going to be one hell of a bumpy ride!
Enjoy the rest of summer!

I took Phillip and J to see the new Batman movie on opening day. First a little Wal-Mart shopping, some Applebee’s for lunch and then a 2 1/2 hour, intense, awesome Bruce Wayne flick. Anybody have any comments on the movie? We really enjoyed it and thought Heath Ledger (who played the Joker) was amazing. Christian Bale (Bruce) wasn’t too shabby himself ;)
Phil and Joe head off for their Boston music camp next weekend for a week. Joe bringing his drum set and Phil his electric guitar. They’ve been working hard the past few weeks writing songs and practicing. We’re looking forward to spending some time in one of our favorite cities, and then at the end of the camp, watching the performances. Should be fun!
I had a very nice visit with one of my good friends, Robin, yesterday. She called me a couple weeks ago to chat but it is always great to get together in person. Her son, Sam, is good friends with J so they got to “hang” together and do boy stuff for a few hours…Thanks Robin ;)
Dinner time – Roasted chicken, apple cornbread stuffing and a cold, crisp salad – Yum, I’m starving!
Have a great week :)

like, now.
Can you tell I am frazzled, tired and stressed? It’s summer and I just want to relax, bury my toes in the soft sand, read a book (in one day) and do NOTHING else. My summer classes go for another 5 weeks! Oiy! It will be such a good feeling come August 19th!!!
The summer issue of MWLM is out and doing great! Thanks to everyone for your kind words and support!
Not that I’ve had any time for casual reading…but I couldn’t help myself…I bought Jenifer Weiner’s novel Certain Girls Here’s what I’ve heard about Certain Girls – “Filled with family tumult (lesbian mother, rebellious teenage daughter, nutjob sister), career uncertainty, heart wrenching plot twists, and plenty of Weiner’s classic sass, Certain Girls is like literary cotton candy — it’s light, fun and sweet, yet sticks with you long after it’s gone. Label it a beach season must.”– Gotham
I love Jen and can’t wait to dive in come August 19th :)
OH, look at the time…I need to go dig through my freezer and figure out what to make for dinner ;)
Enjoy your week!
