Viva Las Vegas!




Ben and I just returned from our first weekend away from Everett! We went to Las Vegas with our dear friends, Jess and Cliff, for two days of fun in Sin City. After a rough start on the outbound flight (four hour delay!) we arrived in Vegas on Friday night. Had a wonderful time, ate at great restaurants, got a wonderful massage at the Bellagio Spa, won a little money playing black jack, hung out at the pool....and of course lots of time missing our little man. My parents spent the weekend with Everett and by all accounts had a wonderful time. I think they really enjoyed spending so much time with Everett and he loved it too! It was great to get away for a little while with each other. We cannot believe how quickly the summer has gone by. Everett is now sitting up by himself and is getting more fun and interactive each day. He continues to be a very happy child, a wonderful eater, and the world's best sleeper-- we are truly blessed!




Here are a few pictures of our trip to Vegas.

Dis Bugdayi


Our very dear friends are Turkish and this past weekend their little girl had what is called a Dis Bugdayi party because she had cut her first tooth. Well, since we were there to celebrate her milestone and Everett has cut his first tooth too, we put him on the blanket to see what profession he will have when he gets older. The result? An engineer! He had a lot of options (artist, lawyer, writer, architect, etc.) and our little guy chose the protractor. See you at MIT in 2026!
