Even though the Red Sox didn't have a wonderful season this year, we are still staunch fans.  So, in August we packed up the Lanes and Mama and Papa Birt and headed to Boston for the day to watch the Sox play the Toronto Blue Jays.  What a day we had!  The drive down was without incident (yes, Shelby kept her breakfast down), and we devoted the whole day to doing nothing but getting to Fenway, having a nice meal, and just walking around the Fenway area shopping.  Here are a few pics of our trip.



Where has the time gone?

I've been telling myself for weeks now that I have to get out here an update this site with pictures from our trip to Boston for the Red Sox game in August, from our fall adventures, and any other cool pics that we have but every time I sit down to update I think that I should be doing something else--most often school related.  Since I've picked up teaching an extra course this fall, and Nancy and I have started this learning community at SMCC in an attempt to retain students, I really have not had two minutes to call my own this fall.  We've had a great late summer and fall.  Our family has been blessed in so many ways that it will take me awhile to update everyhing, but I'm going to give it the good old college try over the next few days.  So stay tuned for all the upcoming news from Birtville.
