The deluge part II

The Doggies

Ahhhhh......the belly scratch...

Heidi and Wingnut having a moment:)

Kick *ss Cupcakes

One of the wonderful things about living here is the compact nature of the city. We live in a quiet little residential neighborhood, but we can walk to busy hubs of commerce in 10-15 minutes. On Saturday morning we walked to Davis Square and discovered this amazing little bakery along the way. The cupcakes were works of art...amazing to behold and even more amazing to ingest! We split a Chai cinnamon cupcake. As one friend commented...good thing you walk alot! We will be walking back here again soon:)

The Third Floor Walk Up

Here is a little taste of our apartment. The beauty is that I can let you see only what I WANT you to see:) The second bedroom is the repository for everything that doesn't have a place yet. Looks like a bomb went off in there. We will get it in shape soon in preparation for our first visitors:-) All of the furniture you see (with the exception of the Ikea kitchen table) is complements of Heidi/Alex and we are very grateful for the use of them. The giant beanbag looking chair is a wonderful comfy reading "nest". It is still a bit sparse, but I'm enjoying the minimalist look/feel of the place. Life is so much simpler without all the "stuff" that we tend to accumulate. However, you need a certain amount of stuff to facilitate life. The trick is in finding the balance and it isn't the same for everyone.

I started my research class last week and it will be very challenging, to say the least. There are 140 students on 6 continents and from 14 different countries! Here we go!!!

Spaulding Cambridge Outpatient Clinic

This is where I work. My time is split between physical therapy treatment and research.

Eating with Alex

Here is an amazing meal whipped up recently by Alex, Heidi's boyfriend. This is definitely one of the benefits of living here!
