Week 5

Week five of Simon's life was predominately filled with activities surrounding Mitch's graduation.  We had a few family members left in town from Simon's baptism and had even more come out for the graduation.  In all, there were 10 guests here for the occasion, although we are pretty sure Simon's birth had something to do with so many family members wanting to visit.  Other memorable events of the week include trips to Rockport, the Harbor Islands, and Cape Cod, as well as touring around the city of Boston.  Here are some pictures from the week.

Week 4

The highlight of week four was Simon's baptism.  We were lucky to have both sets of our parents and Mitch's Grandma come out for the occasion.  The baptism was a great opportunity for us to reflect on our past blessings and our future hopes Simon.  If you weren't able to make it in person, there happens to be a video of the baptism here.  Other events of the week include some more visitors stopping by with delicious dinners and a trip to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.  Check out pictures of the week here.

Week 3

This week was extra special because Bekah got to celebrate her first Mother's Day.  For Mother's Day we took a trip to Piers Park and went for a lovely stroll along Boston Harbor with great views of the skyline.  The week had its fair share of challenges, with Bekah getting a pretty nasty case of antibiotic resistant mastitis.  She is feeling much better, but still has some recovery to go yet.  Other exciting events for Simon this week include wearing his first pair of jeans, his first bath, first babysitters (thanks Laura and Kari!), and a visit from Grandma Machiela.  Check out the pictures here.

Week 2

By popular demand, here are some pictures from Simon's second week of life.  It was an action packed week that included a trip to Park Street Church, the Museum of Fine Arts, the New England Aquarium, and many other adventures.  Thanks to everyone who came by to deliver delicious dinners and love on Simon.  Enjoy the pictures!
