Mother-Daughter Banquet

Every Mother's Day, First Baptist Church has a dinner for Mother's where the men in their lives dress up in order to serve them a great meal. Since Tisha has either been in college or in Boston, she have not attend a Mother-Daughter Banquet in over 10 years. This year was extra special because her family had 5 generations represented at the banquet. We'll try to add another daughter into the mix in the future.

Moms receive flowers during the church's Mother's Day service.

I know that I made the comment last year that Tisha and I were looking for a church but the funny thing is that the church we were looking for was right under our noses.

Clarendon Hill Presbyterian Church is a lovely place full of wonderful people. I interned there while I was at Harvard and quickly developed a mentor/mentee relationship with the pastor, Rev. Karl Gustafson.

Lessons from Red Sox Nation

Although I said that I wouldn't mix Red Sox stuff with this blog, I had to write about the mother that I met during the Sox game tonight. As we were sitting there between innings, I started talking about my son and how I wanted to bring him to the game tonight. She asked how old he was and I told her that he was a little over 2 months. Then she told me to enjoy this time because they grow so quickly and to always remember that when children are small; they only have small problems. It was very reassuring to hear her words because as new parents, everything seems larger than life to Tisha and I. If Alex doesn't go to sleep then we make a big deal out of it. If Alex spits up on his clothes then its another big deal. However, this mother of two, was telling me and probably all new parents, to realize that in the beginning all of the problems that arise are usually minor. "Just wait until they get older," was what she continually said. Parents of teenagers have tons of issues and problems to deal with (such as underage sex to underage drinking) on a daily basis. Thus, it is in this context that the thought of a dirty diaper leaking onto a new outfit doesn't seem to warrant such a big commotion anymore.
