Maine Montage

Susannah was the chillest baby for miles this past weekend at our friends' place in southern Maine. Richard and Carly were great to have us up considering they are about to have their first child - a boy - in September. This is the third year that they have played host to this ragamuffin group of childhood, high school and college friends. With the next generation here or on the way, this year was a little more low key. (no tequila for Beth this year, heheheh)




























Susannah showed the dudes that maybe babies aren't so intimidating after all. (They still look a little scared in this photo, but it was early in the weekend).















She got in on one of the first of many girl talk sessions.















She napped while mom and dad played dock ball. It's a cross between cricket and baseball and requires a flotation device and several pitchers of beer.















She was happy to let soon-to-be dad Richard have some hands-on practice.


And she had her first swim! She was hesitant at first, but then took a liking to it. Her dad was so excited and proud. And by the way, is that the cutest little fanny in the world or what?


Thanks for a great weekend, Richard and Carly! Next year's all about baby dock ball.

I just had a wave of intense jealousy rush over me when I saw Melanie holding my baby! ha! Can't wait to see y'all in August. I know you will be slammed with the family. . but I must see this baby when she is in my zip code!
