4th of July in Boston

The Brewer Family arrived in Boston for the Fourth of July week and what a week it was! We celebrated the 4th in Salem, MA where we spent the day touring the harbor city and then at night watched spectacular fireworks on the bay. It was a gorgeous night and the kids were so excited for the fireworks. It was a great time near the birthplace of America!

Mark and Chelsea's wedding

Cary and I made a trip to Indy for Mark and Chelsea's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding full of eating, drinking, and dancing. It was nice to spend it with family especially since it was Father's Day weekend. Larry and Cheryl came down for dinner on Sunday so we got to see and visit with them for a little bit. We are so blessed to have a wonderful family. It is always a blast and full of so many memories!!

Erin in Boston!

We got to meet Erin for dinner while she was in Boston for work. We took her to one of our favorite seafood places the Barking Crab. It was a nice visit since we don't get to see her much. Hope her trips out East continue so we can catch up and tour great eateries in Boston! We had a wonderful night near the Harbor:)

Baby Wise 18 weeks

Introducing Baby Wise at 18 weeks! This is our first post with our beautiful baby. We had our 20 week ultrasound this week. It was amazing! The whole time Cary and I were wide eyed and smiling. We got to see the head, legs, arms, heart, belly, and face. The only thing we didn't get to see was, if it's a boy or girl:) Our tech did a good job hiding that from us. The picture below shows a profile with a perfect head. The knees our up toward the head like the baby is in a tuck position. Cary thinks the baby has his nose, not sure if you can tell but one thing you can tell is the baby so cute!!! Our doctor said the baby looks healthy and moving right along. Mom is doing wonderful, just a little tried but feeling movement more and more everyday. We are so happy and so very blessed!

Cincy Visit

I had a great visit in Cincinnati with all my family and friends. My big trips on the weekends took me to Cleveland for Stacy's Baby Shower and Indianapolis for Chelsea's wedding shower. In between I got to see lots of family and friends. From dinner to a cookout with college friends and taking my goddaughters out for their birthdays to going to the zoo. It was lots of fun catching up and not to mention all the little memories along the way. Looking forward to many more visit back in Cincy!

Cristofaro's Visit

Nick came into town on Friday and headed straight to the bar for a guys night at Jacob's Wirth's. Saturday night he came to our place for a quick tour and a glass of wine with Zach and June. We then went to dinner at Turner's Seafood in Melrose. The food was fabulous! Sunday was our big adventure to Plymouth to see the famous rock and then headed to Martha's Vineyard. The vineyard was so beautiful and relaxing. We walked around and saw the sights. It turned out to be a gorgeous day. Nick's visit was so much fun and hope he comes back soon:)

German Dinner

Sunday (Mother's Day) we hosted our Monthly Dinner with some friends. This month was a German fest with lots of German cheese, beer, sausages, cabbage, and spaetzle. For dessert we made rum balls. All of it was so good and we definitely ate too much but no regrets! Looking forward to next month.
