Since we got married, we have documented our apartments before we move. We make a silly little video before we pack or change anything, so we have all our regular life moments from the apartment recorded: how the apartment was arranged, little memories of where we ate our dinners, things the cats have done, and stuff like that. As we hope to be moving by the end of April, we documented now, so we can start packing. Here are some photos we also took. We have love, love, LOVED this apartment!
Today we finished building the bathroom cabinet. We put it in the bathroom to figure out how far we could move the toilet, as the new bathtub is wider. We also figured out how we wanted to lay our kitchen floor tiles. The new master bedroom medallion looks great in the light of day.
The contractors started demo today. They removed our kitchen floor and the bathroom sink, toilet and floor. The electrician started changing the light fixtures in the pass through over the bar, and upgraded our electrical panel!
Well, we didn’t make it to the parade this year. Last year was fun, but this year we walked all over Boston, Faneuil Hall, the Waterfront, Fort Point Channel and the South End. PLUS, we got to see Irish Dancing Girls!

Impressive Dancing Irish Girls and awesome song:

We took a day trip up to Maine, stopping at Federal Jack‘s (the birthplace of Shipyard Brewery) for lunch. We swung by the Bush compound to give the Beck a look-see, then headed up to Freeport where they have turned their historic buildings into outlet stores that maintain the old exterior appearance. As we just “met” Violette, we had a good time visiting the children’s clothing stores and shopping for little girl cuteness. There are a couple pictures at the end here, showing the new clothes Becky helped pick out for Jeannette, that Mama Jan bought. Thanks guys!
