C & H in Saratoga in July

Last weekend C & H drove over from NH to spend a long weekend with us.  Unfortunately, C. is working this summer (summer school...) and didn't have a whole week to spare, but at least we squeezed in a weekend so they could do some of the things they just missed when they came in the spring.

Seems like every time we get together I take fewer and fewer pictures... I suppose it's because every time we are together are kids are running faster and faster... and are hardly ever in the same location-- even when they are, they are rarely still enough for photos...

We spent a lot of naked time in the yard:

And enjoyed time wearing clothes too:

We treated ourselves to a special treat at Stewart's:

We drove to Moreau Lake (no photos from the lake though... two kids + water was too much for a camera!)

The kids were happy just sitting around:

Or going grocery shopping:

We went to the playground at the Spa Park (and the pool, but again, my hands were busy keeping our kids from drowning):

We had to make a visit to Congress Park:

And you can't come to Saratoga in Racing Season without going to the track, so we did our first Race Track Breakfast of the year!

Back to NH

Last week we were in NH again.  We took lots of day trips and Bob came over on Wednesday night so we could share some summer fun with him too!

So Many Changes!

I can't believe how grown up MiniM.E. seems some times.  She's so much more independent (aside from those days when she won't let go of my leg) and she's learning so much so fast.

Two really big transitions we made in the past few weeks were the big-kid carseat and the tub.

We went from this:

To this:

And this:

To this:

Overall, she seems a lot happier with both changes (expressions in the previous photos are not necessarily reflective of this...).  She loves looking out the window in the car and having so much room to play in the tub.  It all makes me a little sad though... *sigh*

But then she does something like this:

And I'm reminded that she's still my little baby.  :)
