Water Lovers

Hey Everyone!

TaTa and I are finally back in CT after being in Maine much of the week. As Kristin mentioned in her prior blog, she and I headed up to Maine for the end of the week to spend with Callum and Jamanda. We had a good time and enjoyed spending it with our nephew! We cannot believe how much he has grown in such a short period of time. I think the hightlight of my weekend was the time I got to spend holding Callum and playing with him and his "friends." I also enjoyed giving Callum a bath. I think it is so funny how much Callum enjoys bath time. He sits in his chair smiling and kicking his feet. No sooner do you take himm out of the tub, does he start screaming!





As Kristin mentioned, Jared and I went into Freeport one of the days to LL Bean. I ended up buying two kayakes, one for Kristin and one for me. Today, we went to Avery Pond and went kayaking for an hour. When you think of a pond, you think small, however, this pond was like a lake. No one there except us, which was fantastic. The weather was amazing down here today. We took some pictures of the water lillies and the surrodnings, which are below. There are even some pictures of us.









After our kyake adventure, we headed home and I cut the lawn while TaTa did some errands. Afterwards, we went into Mystic and then headed to the supermakret. Tonight, we had some grilled flatbread and burgers as well as a sampling of various side salads. I also made cookies for a little snack.

Last night, Kristin and I watched our favortie newphew while Jamanda went to a wedding in Brockton. After they left for the wedding, Callum played with his "friends" for a short while before he decided to start crying. We ended up feeding him, changing him and burping him thinking he would stop crying, however, he did not. I ended up holing him in my arms while I danced and sang to him, which seemed to do the trick. After an hour of dancing, I put him down in his chair, where he sat happily for over an hour talking with his "friends." Around 8:00pm, he started to cry, so I sat on the couch with him and we watch the Sox for a short while before he ended up falling asleep. In an effort to change him for bed, he ended up waking up. We ended up feeding him again before putting him down for the night.

Hopefully you got a chance to watch the Sox game last night. I turned it on at the top of the 1st, when it was the A's winning 2-0. Youk ended up hitting a 2 run homer with Bay following with a 3 run homer bringing the score 5-2, Sox. Game ended 12-2, Sox. It was great being able to finally sit and watch the entire game without many interruptions.

Well, I am off to get some things done before bed. Not looking forward to work tomorrow, however, knowing we are in vacation in a week maked it much easier to deal with.
