May 2021 brought Max's 9th birthday. My mother and Ian followed us up from East Hampton and we celebrated with our friends the Buddes, keeping things small. Other highlights included:
* More baseball and soccer
* More outdoor dining
* Mother's Day brunch at a local Italian restaurant. Luckily, we scored one of the few tables on their lovely patio, rather than the tent in the parking lot! The weather was so gorgeous, brunch was followed by a drive with the top down in Adrian's car.
* More Big Green Egg smoked beasts: salmon and pork shoulder
* Watching Jose's outdoor concert for Filipino Nurses!
* Veronica's end-of-the-year Woodwinds Concert. It was very much toned down and outdoors on the steps of the high school. I'm so glad the kids were able to showcase their talent. They worked hard all year to learn with the Covid restrictions.
* Veronica's spring dance recital (ballet & jazz). Again, toned down from the normal event, but indoors with masks. We really appreciated how hard the teachers worked last spring to make the normal events happen, albeit in toned down versions.
* Outdoor haircuts! Definitely our new normal in the pandemic.
* Red Sox game for the boys. Go Sox!

What an amazing assortment of photos! My favorites: all the food--especially from the Big Green Egg. Mother's Day--how come we weren't there? Max's 9th birthday--that CAKE! Adrian and me watching the garden catch fire while enjoying a drink; driving with the roof down and APWD--and offense up in MA: Adrian Photographed While Driving--he's looking at the camera! Our favorite flautist on the HIGH SCHOOL steps (she's skipped a few grades); Veronica being sad when she hears it is the last day of the holidays (Max doing a bad imitation thereof); Red Sox WINNING; Veronica's ballet recital and Ninong's outdoor concert; and Max's baseball. I think someone has to buy Max a T-shirt. The poor guy is always half naked. Winter is coming--PLEEEEZE! Keep 'em coming. So many memories....
