Cape Cod

We went away from home for the first time since December 2019 this weekend! Yen and I are both fully vaccinated, and we were confident we could keep the kids…

Art in the Woods

Doesn’t Linus look proud? Well, he should! This is a trail near our house. We hike it about once a week right before dinner. There’s a little off-shoot with the…

July 16, 2018: Summer in the City

If you’ve ever wanted to see a huge collection of toddlers jumping into water, today is your day! But first, there’s an emergency, and Officer Mina is on the case.…

Hub vs. Hub

Yen and I were thinking it would be fun to see the Hub on Wheels photos a year apart:

November 24 – December 20, 2016

I really am sorry. I don’t know how an entire month goes by before I post again. Or rather I do, but I’m always surprised when it happens again. But…

Nov 6 – Nov 23, 2016

Linus has been reading Make Way for Ducklings, so of course we went to the Public Garden. When he saw the statues, he made a beeline. I had forgotten how big…

June 2 – June 19, 2016

Linus: Week 60

I love this photo. “What? Can’t I just eat this apple in peace?” Our little health nut is also a big fan of raisins. He eats so many every day.…

Linus: Week 58

Yep, still flying that plane! This sight has become very familiar. Linus has a series of Thomas books that are really for a much older kid. But they’ve become his…

Linus – Weeks 52-53

Looking at all of these photos now, I can’t believe how much we did during these last two weeks! Linus has been using the potty regularly now for almost two months.…

Linus – Week 48

Linus had a very busy week, so no sense holding off on a post! First, he headed to a July 4 party hosted by our friends David and Yvonne. Linus…

Another Visit to the Aquarium

We took a quick trip into Boston one rainy Sunday afternoon when there really wasn’t anything else to do. Here are Linus and Cha waiting for the train. Our destination…
