Make way for ducklings! (A trip to Boston Public Garden)

The whole family went on a trip to Boston Public Garden to ride on the swan boats. Apparently, these same swan boats have been in operation for over 100 years! Natalia had a delightful time, bouncing and singing for most of the trip. The subway ride to get there was quite an adventure. She finally did fall asleep from sheer exhaustion on the way home.

A momentous visit to Boston!

This dates back to the beginning of August.... Natalia and her parents went again on the plane to Boston. It was quite an adventure! Natalia had a great time with her cousins, Julien and Robin. She had a particularly great time with Robin, who was around 14 months old at the time. They were very sweet with each other, at least, as sweet as two beings with minimal motor skills can be with each other. They seemed to mutually understand that a poke in the eye could mean a great display of affection.

Natalia also finally got a chance to meet her Uncle Erik and Aunt Erica. It was a great family adventure involving a great deal of baby herding and toting of gear.
