Oh when she comes....

and by "She," I mean my fabulous friend, Bianca.

and she is FABULOUS.

She was our first guest that wasn't family and had to deal with our clumsiness when it comes to hosting someone that hasn't dealt with our quirks for a lifetime.  Thank you for your patience, my dear friend.  It was the very first time she met the Mister Auden and she came bearing gifts!  And what wonderful gifts they were......

oh yes, that is a MICKEY MOUSE onesie and beanie. 

While she was here, I got to do more Boston-y things.  Also, this has always been our thing, but we love to eat.  Seriously.  We went on a trip to California and literally... the whole trip was eating and trying out different restaurants.  In one evening we ate at four different places.  No, not the whole day, just from about 7:00pm-4:00am.  Who was I back then??? There's no way we could do that now... we're getting old.  This time, we ate at more appropriate times of the day... like normal people. :)

Auden's first time at the Public Garden. It is gorgeous. I think one of my very favorite spots in Boston.  

we love to kiss those cheeks. can you tell? 

 the famous Swan Boats. We took a ride! 

so apparently... he had followed us around the lake during our ride.... we were too captivated by the ducks and the possible murder that could have occurred while we were riding the boats. 

this was right before we gave him his first feeding of solids: applesauce!! gobbled it right up. 

The Boy of Boston. This is his town.  

Thanks for coming, Bianca!!! 

Come again soon!!! 

and.... one more. cuz it's just too cute. 

i'm obsessed with him. did you know?
