Perfect Day!  Thank you everyone for your love, gifts, and encouragement as Kyle worked his way through the MBA program.

Arriving at our hotel at 8AM and they had a room ready for us (even though check-in is not until 3PM).

Perfect, warm, beautiful, weather.

We were so blessed to spend our time in Boston with family.  It was so memorable to share it with everyone.  Thank you all for your love, support, and encouragement to our family as Kyle pursued his Master's degree.  It was awesome to be surrounded by family (near and far) as we celebrated Kyle's accomplishment.  


Now for the photos (I ran out of space to upload pictures on my Blogger so this is only the first day in Boston) ...

Back Bay Fens

Junior Ridge to River

Maddeck competed in his first race over the weekend.  There were five kids on his team.  The legs of the race included basketball dribble, run, paddle, bike, and obstacle course.  Maddeck did the biking leg and he did so great.  Part of the biking course was in the grass and it was tough for him.  Kyle ran along side him to encourage him and push the back of his bike if he got stuck in the grass.  He pushed him two times to keep his momentum going.  It was fun for the whole family to cheer on the team.  Afterwards, the big boys got to play on the obstacle course for an hour!  It normally costs quite a bit of money to play on inflatables for a few minutes so we got more than our race fee worth.  Miles watched all the kids playing and really wanted into the bounce house.  With his recent fracture there was no way he could play.  We finished the afternoon with pizza and the whole family took a nap.  We accidentally slept from 3:00 to 5:20 PM.  WHOOPS!  We put the boys to bed at 9:00 PM but poor Maddeck didn't fall asleep until midnight.
