" Mom, can we have stuffed frog for dinner!?"

Too cute!

So, I have 10 minutes before I have to get Ethan up from his nap, lest bedtime be a struggle! I thought I would catch everyone up on the Holley Family.

So last you heard Scott graduated from his MBA program still wondering what the next step would be in our adventure. Well we are happy to announce that Scott did find a job here in Boston! We are going to enjoy Bean Town a bit longer! We are thrilled to stay! He started working for OC&C Strategy at the end of June and is now feeling like it is a good fit.

I on the otherhand am working full time to raise Mr. E. A full time position with no pay but lots of benefits including hugs and slobbery kisses, waves and the shaking of the head (No). Just my kind of work! On a more serious note, I am looking forward to working a few shifts at the hospital in September.

This summer we have ventured out to Washington to attend my sister Chelsea's Wedding, which went beautifully! We then trekked to Cannon Beach Oregon for a Family reunion. Scott went golfing with the pros in the family and went fishing with all the guys who married into our crazy, but awsome family. They even brought home lots of salmon, and about 45 Dungoness crabs, which were littlerally devowered like wolves withing about 20 minutes. I guess I am not the only seafood lover in the family, it must be genetic. We had a great time flying kites and building the MOST AWSOME sand castle in all of Cannon Beach. We then headed back to my parents and Scott went back to work while I stayed and played in WA. Now we are back and moving forward. Ethan Will be 1 year old in September.... which makes me reflect on the past year. I think all I have accomplished is raising a cute boy who has decided to start walking already. That is motherhood. Anyway, better go get my boy up so he goes to be by 7:30! Wish me luck. We will keep you posted on our adventure in Montreal this weekend! Love and miss all you out there that I don't see too often, or those who ditched Boston for other places around the globe!
