This morning my mom and I walked Kika for 2.5 miles and then I went for a 4 mile run. It was still cool when we went for the walk, but it warmed up quickly. After my run I went to the basement to do weights for a few minutes, while my mom sat outside with Kika, but Kika spotted me through the window and decided to keep an eye on me.

During the week my mom was at home while I worked my regular crazy hours, so on Friday afternoon I left early and took her on a flash visit to the Boston public park, Newbury street, and the library. The weather was beautiful, nice and warm, just like I like it. Then, on Saturday I took her to Newport and we visited The Breakers. The weather was beautiful again - she got lucky that the weather was nice the entire time she was here.
To round up the day, when we got back from Newport she got to see Bella after her very first lacrosse practice with her new club team.

This evening was back to school night at Bella's new school and we got to meet all of her teachers. While we went around the different classrooms, Bella just hung out with the new kids she is befriending. It is nice to have a much better start to the school year, and it was nice to see her in a group of kids - just like she likes it.

This past week I was in Cincinnati for work and on Friday I came back to Boston and brought my mom with me. It is her first time visiting since we moved here last summer. Yesterday she got to see Bella's new school and my office - at least from the outside and the main lobby. And, although not her favorite, got to participate on a small picnic organized by the Hispanic community at work. Then, this morning we took a 4 mile walk with Kika and drove to Rockport in the afternoon. Rockport is so cute and one of my favorites, and only about 1 hour drive from the house.
By the time we came back from Rockport Bella was also back from hanging out with some new classmates, so the 3 of us went to Tatte. I wanted my mom to see it since Bella and I go there often on Sunday afternoons.
To close out the day, Philippe, Monique, and the Italian cousins came for dinner. I meant to take a family photo but then got sidetracked and didn't.
My mom is here until Thursday, but it is hard to find the time to do anything during the week. So I am glad we got some good activities in during the last couple of days.
