A week at home

Well another week has almost come and gone. I can't believe how fast these summer days are flying by. We didn't have many playdates or activities planned this week and that's partially because I wanted to slow down and enjoy some time at home with the kids before our end of summer chaos begins. By that I mean, we are leaving Saturday for 2 weeks at York Beach, ME. There is a quick trip to Denver mixed in there for a friend's wedding. When we come back from York, we leave a couple weeks later for South Bend, then followed by Brian & Jaclyn's wedding. So, yeah, I'm trying to make sure we take a big breath of home sweet home.
Genevieve has had a productive week. She learned how to roll over and can do it fairly consistently from back to front. She also discovered her feet. Both of these milestones were not hit by Sebastien for at least another month, so I was pleasantly surprised. She also tried rice cereal for the first time this week, and spit it out, but that's normal the first couple of times. We'll keep trying. Here are some pictures:

Not as good as she hoped.

Thursday morning we went to "splash day" outside the Windham library. Sebastien enjoyed this water hopskotch. (Note how brown the grass is. We've been in a major drought and sadly our front lawn looks like this too.)

I'm not sure if I'll be able to post at the beach, but I'll try. If there's a long delay in the next post, you'll know why :)
