Nick's parents came to town last weekend for a visit and to hear Nick's graduate reading. The reading was on Thursday and went really well. They were here for the rest of the weekend so we tried to show them around. We started out in Jonestown and Newport,

where we toured the Vanderbilt house.

We spent some time wandering around Brown.

We also went up to Boston and took a Duck Boat tour. Atlas had fun taking photos.

He also got to take a turn driving the boat.

Cosby was good and eventually fell asleep with Grandma.

We went and wandered around Harvard, which was really gorgeous. Unfortunately Atlas was tired and we didn't last very long.

Grandma and Grandpa even babysat one night so we could go on a real date! It was fantastic. We had a blast with the Potters. We were so happy to have them come out to Rhode Island. The boys had so much fun. It was a wonderful weekend. Thanks Rob and Julie!

In other news, someone dropped out of Missouri to take a fellowship and the spot was offered to Nick. He officially accepted the offer today. We will be headed there in a couple months.
