Wonderful Waban Weekend

We had a packed weekend with events in Waban. Our friends the Partingtons are departing to Connecticut. They are the type of people who make everyone feel welcome, always have an open door and a party going on, and have a daughter, Laine, in Maddie's class. They were having a goodbye party complete with amazing face painter and magician. Our night was capped off with a super fun dinner at our friends Kelly and Jeff's house. We'd bid on a dinner at the Angier fundraiser with Kelly and Jeff's neighbor and Angier parent, Atul Gawande. He's a surgeon, writer for the New Yorker and author of two very interesting books, Complications and Better. We invited other kindergarten parents and had a lovely evening.

The next day we walked to Waban Village Days. It's quite a small little fair but fun none the less. The kids enjoyed riding the small rides, their favorite being the viking ship.

Now that we are in the elementary school, it was great fun to bump into friends in the village.
