Up in Peterborough...

Here are some pics from Peterborough and Andrew and Mindy's wedding. It was so beautiful and Tan's still singing "Let's get it started in here" from the reception wher he loved dancing with Aunt Jean, Poppa, and Aunt Mary.

Trip to Toronto

Here's some pictures from our recent whirlwind trip to Toronto, where we started for a few days before heading up to Peterborough, ON for Mindy and Andrew's wedding. Tan got to ride a subway with Geemie which he LOVED and was by far the highlight! We also went to the Toronto science center (I hadn't been there forever and it was great - other than temporarily loosing Tan in the kid zone which was slightly traumatic - thankfully it's a closed in space with only one exit) and Center Island where we experienced summer in the city, playing in the wading pools and riding the ferry.

Pudding painting....

Here's a few pictures of the boys doing some pudding/yogurt painting...very messy and very fun!

Date night...

Here's a picture of Mike and I on a recent date night. We drank wine, and cooked dinner together for the first time in ages (usually one or other of us is watching the kiddos). Thanks to the Barefoot Contessa for a yummy recipe that tasted awesome and yet wasn't too involved so we could chat while we cooked. It was really nice.

At the fair....

It's been a busy month! We only got out to the fair once this year...but we had a great time! Tan LOVED watching the cow's being milked and of course the rides. We also went to the demolision derby and Tan was absolutely captivated by it. He kept moving his seat (my diaper bag) up and up and up to get a better view.

Out on Lake Champlain....

We had a gorgeous day yesterday and after a hike up Bristol Notch we took the boat out on Lake Champlain for a swim. We had a great time and both kids loved playing in the water. We got a little more adventure too, when a mouse (which had been living on the boat) came out on the deck to join us. Tanner was excited, but me, not so much! Mike caught it by the tail and put it in the water, and we got to watch it swim to the grasses in the shallow water and climb up a blade of grass. It was actually really cool to watch. The motor on Mike's boat is really loud - hence the earphones on Cam! He doesn't quite know what to make of them.

New tooth....

Here's a picture from the moment we discovered Cam's first tooth poking through yesterday -
August 1st!

Up and down Bristol Notch...

Here's Tan enjoying a celebratory ice cream after making it up and down Bristol Notch today. We were proud of him!

Playdate...

Here's a picture from our latest playdate with our good friends Krista, Hannah and Isabelle. The boys always love seeing their girlfriends, and this last playdate Cam really got into the playdate for the first time - playing with Isabelle at the water table, smiling like crazy in their very cool swing. The older kids were having a ball running up and down Hannah's new ramp together and taking turns on the wagon. Very cute. As another note: As of yesterday Cammy is crawling. He's been doing short crawls for a few weeks but now he's moving across larger spaces to get to what he wants, and is pulling himself up like crazy. My goodness how fast they grow. It seems even faster this time around.
