she really, really loves swimming and she's not at all afraid of deep water. as long as she's got her (ugh) Dora vest she's ready for action!

well, just one canoe and one Cape - Cod, to be exact. we are having a nice visit with Grandpa and Patty this weekend. here's a picture of Grandpa, Lorri, and Arwyn canoeing on the pond. fun!

happy

at least that's what she said after a bite of her chocolate chip ice cream, unsurprisingly.

100 posts!

somehow i stuck with it this time. i've started blogs before (well before someone coined the unfortunate term with which we're now stuck) but have always given up as i'm sure most do. i suppose having a focal point like the wee one certainly helps you keep things going. her love of the camera + penchant for being cute doesn't hurt for sure either. our families and friends may not all live in the same neighborhood as us but we will continue to try and make it seem as if we do by sharing these snapshots & stories from our days with you.

anyhow, here's to another 100 posts! don't hesitate to leave us feedback or suggest/complain if we're not covering what you want to see!

view of the stage from our seat at Ives Park where we'll see moe. in a few. thanks to Julie and Ryan for dinner, putting the wee one to bed and letting us crash!

yes, it was a great show. two good sets with a short encore (after someone ignored the admonitions about swimming in the moat that separated the stage from the masses) that included lots of great tunes. i should mention the concessions at this place are impressive. i mean, the draft beer prices are on the "low" side of typical for venues at $7, but you can get a whole bottle of wine for $18. talk about a deal :)
