The Long Goodbye

We have made it safely to New Mexico! We had a wonderful time seeing almost everyone back on the East Coast, and I was so happy to be able to have the long goodbye. Or, I should say, see you later, because we will be back to visit!

We started out with many playdates. Nathan had a great time playing with his buddies while Mom got to spend time with her friends. Below, Nathan, AJ and Chase were never awake at the same time, but they still had a lot of fun. Joy, Kate and I had a great time as well.

Then Kate and I took one last trip to downtown Boston to check out the tots room at the Children's Museum. Highly recommended!


Lisa and Emily were gracious hostesses as always!


Heidi stopped in a few times to get in her goodbyes. She never fails to make Nathan laugh (or anyone for that matter), he will miss her!


Finally we headed up to Maine for some time with the Savage grandparents and some of Nathan's aunts, uncles and cousins. The weather was gorgeous, and it made it so hard to say goodbye...



Finally, we were off! The flight was uneventful, and Nathan enjoyed a longish layover in Baltimore.


Thank you to everyone who touched our lives in the last 10+ years in Boston. You have made it a happy home, and as we head off to our new adventure, we keep looking back, wondering how long it will be before we are back for good. I will keep updating this blog for anyone who cares so you can peek in on how we are doing, but it won't be a substitute for keeping in touch with everyone. You can count on emails/phonecalls/something on Facebook from me!! I miss you all!
