A typical morning

late summer

A few more late summer photos from Maine and from a weekend in New Hampshire.

Mish

We're finally getting our mid- and late summer blog posts up.  In late July, we went to Michigan (Mish to Ana), where Meg's parents recently finished building a cabin.  We swam in Lake Superior, introduced Ana to motorboats (and running out of gas), Meg and I ran a half-marathon, and Ana got to play in a giant swing.  Good times for all.

Summer

In the midst of a busy summer, we thought we'd post a few pictures.

watching the sharks

Tonight, for twenty-five minutes, Ana and Ethan walked in circles around the house, talking and laughing pretty much constantly. For those of you who haven't seen our house, it's small, and that's a lot of circles. Meg and I just sat on the couch and watched. It was kind of like watching the fish at the Boston Aquarium swim in circles, only more entertaining and much louder. Here's a snippet.

It is official - we have two walking kids in our house now. Enjoy the video of our proud little man.

April

April was a dreary, bleak month in Maine, other than the last day, but we did have some bright spots along the way. The month started with a visit from Dave's parents, during which Ana got to make homemade playdough. This was a huge highlight. We also walked outside when the weather cooperated, and sometimes when it didn't, and Ana got to decorate her first Easter eggs.
