We're Back!

We have completed our last family vacation of the year - another week at Breezy Point with my parents. Isaac joined us for most of the middle of the week, and we had a wonderful time.

The biggest news is that Elizabeth (formerly very timid in the water and petrified of getting water on her face) learned to swim! She learned to love going underwater - both with goggles and without - and can swim 6-10 feet both underwater and above water! We are so proud of her. She even jumps off the side of the pool now and swims a few feet underwater.

Amelie likes the water too. I don't think it will take five years to convince her to be a fish like her sister!

We hiked up the fire tower in Pequot Lakes one afternoon, and played at a playground, but mostly we just swam and ate. That's my kind of vacation.

Amelie spent much of her time climbing up the stairs in our condo and peeking through the slots. She's kind of wild. I couldn't get her to stay still long enough for a good picture.

It's going to be really hard to go back to real life after this!
