First Coiffing

Lola had been suffering through obstructed vision and gnarly sleep tangles with her overgrown hair situation, but thanks to 6 minutes with Phanna at the Snip-Its in Framingham, those days are in the dustbin.

Behold! The new 'do!

and how it all went down....

Blossoms and Brunch in Boston

We are in the Boston area pretty regularly while visiting family, but in early November we got to visit our friends from the left coast, the Blossom family. We met for brunch at Tremont 647 in Boston's South End [Mindy's old stomping grounds] on a beautiful sunny and mild day. They do a pretty mean brunch there - the wait staff were all dressed in pajamas for the occasion and they encourage diners to do the same. It was very low key, delicious and child friendly.

Brunch in your jammies!

Jack and Lola shared adjacent high chairs and noshed on yogurt, cheerios and other snacks as we caught up on baby milestones and life in general.

Lola and Jack at brunch

After a healthy brefus [i had cheesy gravy fries, followed by baked chorizo & yukon potatoes!] we took a stroll through the neighborhood and ended up in the children's section of the hallowed Boston Public Library. It was fun watching Jack walking with his father, picking up all the autumn leaves he came across and sitting on the various stoops we passed.

Another too short visit, but as always, so enjoyable. We're hoping to jet out their way for the next meet-up!

This step gets two thumbs up from the Blossoms
