summer update

Sorry I've been gone awhile.  I'm back now.

And I have some great pictures of the past week for you to see.  But first, an update in words:

- We went on a spur of the moment little vacation to the Adirondacks for 5 days over the holiday weekend.  Super relaxing and super fun.  

- I am now 15 weeks pregnant.  All signs of nausea seem to have passed... but I'm not uncrossing my fingers just yet.  Mike and I both think it's another girl but we'll have to wait til August to find out for sure...

- Lena can walk!  However, most of the time she chooses not to.  I think she can't be bothered by her own stumbly walking when she has super-fast crawling as another much more efficient option.  The most she's done at one time in the 2 weeks that this has been happening is 5 steps on her own.  Go Lena go.

Ok, enough updating, now for some pictures:

We love vacation!!

Lena gives Aunt Sheryl and Uncle Dave the Mean Face, look out!

Playing in the sand at the lake

Lena also discovered her love for sitting on beach chairs, she wanted to climb up and sit on every one

Daddy made Lena a "Sand Patch".  Does look a bit like a pig though... but then again, so does the real Patch

When the strangers nearby have a way better beach toy selection it's best to make friends with them

And when those same strangers think you're cute and want to feed you pretzels, why refuse??

MWAH!!  I LOVE SAND!!!

Needless to say, Lena loved it.  And we did too.

Happy July!
