We spent our weekend in Boston, running around, showing up in unexpected places, and popping out to say, "Surprise!" Sorry for you Bostonians that we missed seeing - we were only in town for a couple of days and didn't nearly have enough time to see all the people we might have liked.

Last night, over dinner at the airport, DS1 lost his third tooth - his upper right incisor. It's the first tooth he's managed to hang on to after it came out of his mouth. He looks like a proper little gap-toothed schoolkid now.

In other news, my parents are on the verge of buying a parcel of land just a few hours away from us. And my mom emailed me a terrific diet to help lower your cholesterol and triglycerides: oatmeal with seaweed and ground dried anchovies.
