Shower buddies

It's not obvious from this picture, but Stella really enjoyed her shower with her papa. Well, it's still a cute picture.

Big-girl swing

Ricardo put up a big-girl swing for Julia; it turns out it seats 3!

Is there anything sweeter?

I left Stella in our bedroom, wide awake, playing with her toys, while I was getting Julia ready for her nap. When I came back, a few minutes later, I found Stella asleep, covered in her toys.

Big News in Montreal

I'll let Mariana tell you what the big news is.

Here's a nice one of granpa and Stella.

Mariana, Dylan and the nieces, in the morning.

Julia's highlight of the weekend: spending time with Uncle Andrew.

View from Mount Royal.

Running kids and the tops of skyscrapers.

Mariana and Benjamin.

More quality time with Andrew.

Vôvô's new toy:

Mariana "volunteered" to read books at bedtime...

Another Time in Savoy Mountain

We spent another very relaxed weekend in the Berkshires. (so relaxed that I almost forgot to post some pictures from it...)

Julia enjoying the lake.

Marcia getting some baby time, with Stella.

A big improvement over our previous camping outings: the Coleman coffee maker. Combined with Costa Rican coffee, this made camping mornings a whole lot better!

Stella.

Julia making a lake, dam and river, with Andy's help.

Not a standard feature of the car...

Julia was very interested in the train wagon parked in North Adams.
