The bambinos stayed home from school today, playing hooky to recover and re-acclimate after our pretty exhausting 5-day trip to New England. So… lucky, lucky, lucky them: the boys got to watch the first game of the season for the Red Sox. And… !!!…. it was an opening day win for the Red Sox in Yankee Stadium!! The game involved them sitting on the couch, chatting, eating, and generally acting like super serious Red Sox fanatics (while Meera played in her room and I worked at my computer in the kitchen). I think there were about 20 phone calls back-and-forth between these two Red Sox loving boys and their MorFar. And there were many exciting moments, complete with jumping up and down, fist pumping, extreme cheering, and intensive yelling at the t.v. Oh my word. Are they 8 or 18? And so another season in Red Sox Nation begins.
Mera is absolutely very 4, but whatever will you do for 5? I love your Blog and I am amazed that you do all that you do, you are inspiration. Have great day and good luck with the 5th birthday, soon to come as I have seen fresh strawberries. Love, Gail
LOL @ the first picture!! Such excitement! Gotta love opening day. I just ordered my tickets to the Phillies game at Fenway.
Heather – I have a question I’d love to ask you about graduate school. I’m just looking for an outsider’s opinion and it wouldn’t require a long response or anything. I know you’re just about the busiest woman on the planet, but if you have a moment and would be willing to help a faithful reader out, let me know where to e-mail you (didn’t want to assume your Lehigh email was what you’d prefer, as I did Google it but wasn’t sure..)
Thanks!
Yes, Kristen, email me. You can use my Lehigh email: hbj2 (at) lehigh (dot) edu
