Sue & Andrew & the Boys

Sue & Andrew and the boys came for a short visit over the weekend.

Here we are shortly after they arrived - all being a little silly.

They were waking up between 4:30-5:30... in the morning... by the time Roxi, Julia and I woke up, Benjamin was already having a morning nap! Actually, even this was a little unusual for him - he had a long day sitting in a car on Friday.

We went to Bakerwoods in the afternoon.

This place is always gorgeous, even after most of the leaves have fallen.

Julia, as usual, couldn't get enough of Uncle Andrew. But... who can?

Thanks for coming to visit, guys! We hope you won't wait so long for next time.

Acadia 2009 (Part 1)

We liked Acadia so much last year that we had to go back.

Here is a first batch of pictures from our week-long trip:

Julia helping to get stuff from the car to the cottage we rented:

The view from our deck.

The apple tree...

Our first restaurant dinner.

Julia relaxing.

Several pictures from a walk around Jordan Pond.

Then a quick look from the top of Cadillac Mountain.

Cuddling

This was right after Julia woke up on Sunday morning. As you can see, we both slept well and were feeling good. Julia loves to cuddle, and it is a great way to start off the day.
