Maine Vacation

Madeleine is enjoying her first trip to Maine, where Grandpa Bob and Grandma Kay have a summer cottage. She loves all the sights and sounds of the ocean - the boats, the animals, Grandpa.....

Maine is a very special place for Mommy and Daddy too because they were married here 5 years ago this month! My, how times have changed.

Grandma and Grandpa were in their splendor because had both of their grandbabies in town at the same time for a few days, so Madeleine got to meet her cousin Taylor for the first time.



Ever since Daddy got to town, the weather has been miserable - but we've still had a great time and seen a few milestones. Madeleine took her first swing at a nearby playground - and, more importantly from her perspective, she sat in a high chair for the first time. As Grandma likes to say, "She LOVED it!"


She also went on her first shopping expedition in a shopping cart - to the local Target. Nothing but the best for our girl!

And, after 13 days apart due to Mommy and Daddy's travel schedules, we got to be a family again.

Baby loves having Mommy and Daddy together again.
