Today was Bella's second game and this time around they won. So she was in a better mood and did pose for a picture. She is also happy that her coach selected her as co-captain of her team. Although, as I explained to her, that does not mean that you get to boss people around. That means you get to help them get better and to be a good example for the team.

Since we moved here, about 3 months ago, we have tried a lot of coffee shops and bakeries. So far, I think Tatte is still the best. At least I think they definitely have the best Chai.

Today was Bella's first game with her new soccer team, the Newton North Tigers. It was so hot and muggy outside that I was sweating just standing there - which usually doesn't happen - and it was hard to breathe. They also lost by al lot, so Bella was not in the mood to pose for pictures, but I still got a couple of candid ones.

Bella's first day of school at Newton North High School finally arrived today and she was ready for it. I worked from home so that I could take her to school and be home when she was back. I didn't want to miss out on being part of the first day in what hopefully will turn out to be a great next phase - once she gets settled and finds her group. My best wishes and big hopes for that.

Following the tradition, today Bella and I worked on her first day of school sign. Tomorrow is her first day of High School, and her very first day of school in Boston. She is really looking forward to going to school and meeting other kids, so fingers crossed for a successful and friendly first day at Newton North High School.

8.5 miles during a hot and muggy morning. Getting the run done but also stopping to appreciate the flowers. Today I reached the 400 mile mark, most definitely ahead of schedule to reach my goal of 500 miles for the year.
