Scenic Drive
A few more pictures from when my in-laws were here. We took a drive down Rt-2 and into Vermont. We made it up to Sharon, VT (birthplace of Joseph Smith Jr). It was really pretty.

8. Seeing the Thorntons again. Rolana, I miss you like crazy!!!
8 Favorite Restaurants:
1. Cinderella's in Cambridge, very near Central Square. My favorite is Cinderella's garlic bread. It's amazing! Bread, prosciutto, tomato, cheese and a TON of garlic! Terrible for your breath, but you smile a lot after eating it.
2. Mario's in Lexington center. I like their Chicken Parmigiana.
3. Chili's - mmm, good where ever you are.
4. Jade Garden in Arlington. Rolana got me hooked on dumplings and I really love the way Jade Garden makes their sauce and dumplings.
5. Anna's Taqueria- we frequent the MIT franchise.
6. Appleseed in Burlington Mall's food court. They make the Nutella crepes I love so much. They also make an awesome ham and honey-dijon crepe that I find well worth the eating.
7. Olive Garden- I always get a raspberry italian cream soda. MMM!
8. Capri's Pizza-in Arlington Heights. I love to get a pizza with chicken and Feta, strange combo?

A New Twist on the Phrase, "I Lost a Tooth"
This morning, as we were driving to Alewife station to drop Zac off, Tyson exclaimed worriedly, "I lost my tooth!" Good parents that we are we congratulated his success and talked up the upcoming tooth fairy. "But I don't know where it is," he explained, "it was in my mouth when I was eating my cereal..." Hmmm...
Later, back at home I went through the car, looked carefully at the floor around the table and even checked his raisin bran remains, but the tooth was nowhere to be found. Did he swallow it? Did it fall out on the way to the car? Who really knows?
Stay tuned for the next installment of: Detective Tyson, "Boy Sherlock", and the case of the missing tooth. It should be a good one. In the meantime, have a good chuckle on us!

Gorgeous Wellesley Campus
My wonderful in-laws were in town for Tim's priesthood ordination. It was a pretty neat time. One of the days Melba even came to class with me! I also had the chance to show off the beautiful campus at Wellesley. Here are a few of the pictures...
Wellesley's Tower dorm
I just love the architecture. Here is an entrance to Founders Hall. You can see the bell tower in the back. I think Founders is absoulutely gorgeous!
I love this entryway into Founders Hall. It seems so Harry Potter to me!

Trunk or Treat and Halloween
The ward Trunk of Treat was the last activity me, Shaunna and Carrie helped with before being officially released as the Primary Presidency. It was a lot of fun! Tim's friend came along with us on Halloween night. It was a successful candy year.The boys brought in a grand haul of candy this year between the trunk or treat and trick or treating. Wow!
