Memorial Day







We have just returned home from a lovely weekend in Upstate New York. We were unsure about the long drive but it was totally worth the time in the car. It felt much more like a vacation weekend, than it might have if we'd just stayed home to get things done around the house. It was also like a "teaser" for true summer. We have been home for 5 hours and I already want to be back at the lake....
We had magnificent weather and spent most of the day Sunday at Farley's, helping to open up the cottages while "they guys" put in the docks. Well, Nat helped. I mostly sat on a blanket and played with Jack.. Being the mom has its perks at times! :) Jack had a great time moving about on the blanket. We are pretty sure he is doing some "stealth crawling"-- we have yet to see any actual forward locomotion, but he can move across a space remarkably quickly for a baby who can't crawl yet.
He also seemed to enjoy getting to know his cousins. He was very interested in them, and clapped when David sang for him, and actually hugged Sarah, with both arms. He was a very sweet and endearing little fell ow all weekend and, wonder of wonders, did not sleep all that badly. Only up 2x a night (his usual) and then up for the day at 5:30 both days... guess he didn't want to miss a moment?
