When we go up to the cottage, it is dog central. My parents graciously adopted my yellow lab, Abby, several years ago. My brother Todd and his wife Courtney have Molly, a beagle-something mix, and of course, we bring JJ. Thankfully, we are all dog people and don't mind the chaos. Although we don't give JJ "people food", he's learned to beg with the other 2!
My parents' neighbor has 2 children a bit older than Hannah. This summer, she's given us so many nice baby things to us. This past week, she gave my mom not one but two exersaucers!! I have been looking for a good used one for awhile, and these are absolutely perfect. Hannah loves them!
We found out Thursday night that our good friends Aubrey and Brian (the two who originally set us up!) actually had a weekend available, so we were lucky enough to have them come up from the Detroit area to spend Saturday and Sunday with us. We always have so much fun with them! This was the first time that Brian had met Hannah. They both look like naturals to me :-)
We spent all day Saturday on my parents' boat. It was pretty windy and the water was pretty rough, so we stayed docked for the day. That just gave JJ more opportunities to play fetch off the dock (actually, he's a big chicken and won't jump off the dock, but we did finally convince him to go down the steps). What could be better than his two favorite things - fetch and the lake!?!
My Aunt Lynn gave us a little baby tent cabana when Hannah was first born, but we hadn't had a chance to use it unti this weekend. It worked out great! Hannah was so comfy in it that she took a few good naps lying in it on the boat.
Unfortunately, Hannah just wasn't herself by late Saturday afternoon. We're not sure if she had a touch of something or if she's starting to cut teeth. She was just very lethargic and a little warm. When we got back from the boat, she and Daddy took a nap together.
Sunday was absolutely gorgeous! Early in the morning, the lake was like glass, so Aubrey, Brian, and Jason took his boat out for a spin (unfortunately, I didn't get a picture :-( ). I met them, with my parents, down at the dock after I had fed Hannah. Since the water was so beautiful, we actually took the pontoon off the hoist and anchored a little ways' out. All of us, except Hannah and my mom, went in for a swim - some more voluntarily than others (Brian!). Higgins Lake is just a gorgeous, spring-fed lake. It's just crystal clear, but also a bit chilly. Let's just say our swim was very refreshing :-) Once you were in for a minute, the water really did feel good.
We just couldn't have asked for a better weekend!
Please, no pictures!
Life is good!
