Bearfins have been hitting the antique markets pretty hard.

Lighthouse tour

We took an afternoon trip to Narragansett bay for a several hour ferry tour that brought us by 10 lighthouses in rhode island.  John and I sat with the old people on the second deck as it was a blisteringly hot day and we were trying to avoid both sunburn as well as seasickness.  Here I am checking in with grandma and grandpa on the baby rhys:

here is one of the beautiful lighthouses in the bay:

 We saw a tiny light house and one that you can stay overnight in as an inn keeper...definitely on the list of things to do in RI.
 
 

the grandparents visit!

Arriving from California driving Sara Pope's subaru outback across country, my parents were surprisingly calm appearing upon approach to New England.  They have spent the last few weeks touring the area as well as bonding with Rhys while John and I took some needed 'mini breaks' -day trips to various places.  More to come on these adventurous several weeks!

a utopia indeed

berafins in providence.  hello, wonderful town.  hello faculty position at brown and all that goes with it.  hello organized fellowship with caring administrators.  hello kind and well paid moonlighting.  hello little neighborhood full of colonial houses and families with babies under 2. 

my co-fellows have been great so far.  one in particular seems to be as obsessed with holidays as I am.  i start on 'crisis' which is a type of short term clinic for kids seen recently in the ER and discharged but who need follow up care.  

amy, jeff and gus are here this weekend which has been great as we miss them so much. today, we explore the city.  pictures to follow.
