Graduation Day

bostonterrio @bostonterrio (70) • United States 20 Jun 09

Hard to believe my "baby" is so grown up. Where does the time go. I remember when she was just a baby staring at the world with the most incredible huge brown eyes I had ever seen. Toddler years found her walking instead of...

Birthday party for niece

bostonterrio @bostonterrio (70) • United States 27 Oct 08

This weekend we attended a wonderful birthday party for my niece's fifth birthday. Abby is such a creative little girl. She is both a tomboy and a girly girl. She loves to play dress up but can boss the boys around in style. My...

Silly Bella

bostonterrio @bostonterrio (70) • United States 24 Oct 08

My cat is clearly part mule. She is so incredibly stubborn. There are two things she does that drive me insane. Bella loves sitting on the back of my desk chair watching me type. I always assume she is watching but really she...

Daughter bought her first car

bostonterrio @bostonterrio (70) • United States 24 Oct 08

My youngest daughter is amazing. Prior to getting her driver's license she stated she was going to buy her own car as soon as she got her license. I tried to convince her that it may not be economically possibly to do so right...

spongebob clothing

bostonterrio @bostonterrio (70) • United States 24 Oct 08

Last night my daughter and I took my 22 month old grandson on a shopping trip. It always amazes me that even at such a young age he can easily recognize different television characters. Spongebob is one of his favorite shows. He...

Lord Of The Flies

bostonterrio @bostonterrio (70) • United States 24 Oct 08

I have been getting a bit desperate for reading material. After finishing several books I found myself hunting my bookshelves for something to read. One of my daughters had "The Lord Of The Flies" in her bookcase from some...

bostonterrio @bostonterrio (70) • United States 22 Oct 08

I posted a discussion about the wonderful job my grandson did painting the shed with his Pop but for some reason the picture did not upload. This picture is definitely worth a look at so I decided to post a part 2 so everyone...

One of the summer projects was for my husband to rebuild our shed. Our four year old grandson spends each weekend with us and was more than eager to assist Pop. He loves being around Pop and was thrilled at the chance to actually...

Honolulu Zoo

bostonterrio @bostonterrio (70) • United States 22 Oct 08

During my last trip to Hawaii I was determined not to sit around waiting for my husband to finish work. I normally dislike venturing out in unfamiliar places on my own but really wanted to enjoy my trip. I spent a day at the...

Expensive Orchid

bostonterrio @bostonterrio (70) • United States 22 Oct 08

On our last trip to Hawaii my husband and I decided to splurge and visit one of the other islands. We chose the Big Island. The volcano was fascinating but there were plenty of other sights to see as well. One of the stops on our...

Hanauma Bay

bostonterrio @bostonterrio (70) • United States 22 Oct 08

Hawaii is one of my favorite places. My last visit there was in July 2008. My husband and I both went but he had to work. Fortunately he was able to get a few days off. Our hotel was only a short distance from Waikiki beach....

Pet Rock

bostonterrio @bostonterrio (70) • United States 22 Oct 08

My four year old grandson Jr is very creative. One of his favorite things to do is paint pictures on rocks. His Auntie Lauren helped him paint a penguin on a rock for me. We named the penguin Peeps 2. Peeps 1 is a stuffed penguin...

Discovering common interests with my niece.

bostonterrio @bostonterrio (70) • United States 21 Oct 08

During a family birthday party I had the change to chat with my 25 year old niece. She is almost finished with school and is very excited. Perhaps it is because she is getting older and I see her more as an adult now but we got to...

My husband refuses to tell our 19 yr old daughter that he loves her.

bostonterrio @bostonterrio (70) • United States 21 Oct 08

My husband was always very loving towards our children when they were small. As they grew older communication became strained but no one ever doubted his love for them. My most sensitive child moved out of our home and in with...

Am I obligated to enjoy babysitting my grandson?

bostonterrio @bostonterrio (70) • United States 19 Oct 08

My 22 month old grandson and his mom live with us. He is a very demanding child. He is very bright but has not a limited vocabulary. His idea of communicating is screaming at us and pointing to things. Living with him means I see...

Is is acceptable to celebrate a sobriety anniversary?

bostonterrio @bostonterrio (70) • United States 18 Oct 08

October 17 I celebrated my ninth year of sobriety. The first several years went by with no or little recognition by anyone. This truly bothered me. I felt I had made a sacrifice not only for myself but also for the betterment of...

Halloween costumes. Which do you prefer store bought or homemade?

bostonterrio @bostonterrio (70) • United States 14 Oct 08

I went shopping this weekend and was shocked at the cost of the Halloween costumes. When my children were little I made many of their costumes but as my grandsons arrived I was not feeling creative and began buying their...

Push and pull phase of sobriety

bostonterrio @bostonterrio (70) • United States 13 Oct 08

Does anyone believe that sobriety has different phases? I have been sober for nine years. The first several years I believe I was being pushed by sobriety. My strong desire to remain sober was pushing me to keep sober. I was just...
