Fun in New Hampshire!

We went up to visit my sister who was visiting New Hampshire this weekend. We had a great time. It was a beautiful state. We went to a lake, and Megan had a blast.

Testing the water.
She finally got brave enough to walk in. And then she fell. Did not like that at all. I didn't want to pick her up because I didn't want to get wet.
She gave herself a sand scrub. This girl loves sand.

Strawberry Shortcake

We went to pick strawberries on Saturday. We had a great time. Megan was really good until she realized exactly what was going on. This kid loves strawberries. We went home and stripped her down and went outside to eat some. She was very cute.

Swimming Fun

The weather has been brutal here, so Megan has gone swimming!

Putting the baby tub to good use.
The very soggy diaper.


The next day we went swimming with our friend Maryn. This water was too cold, so it took awhile for her to get in. She finally did when I announced that it was almost time to go, of course.

What we have been up to

For truth, justice, and the American way. Russ started work last Tuesday down in Bridgeport for the US Attorney's office. He has been to court (got to sit at the table!), went to bomb squad training, and has written motions for appeals. He has become an expert in cocaine sentencing laws, and has repeating warned me not to sell cocaine. I am going to have to think of another way to get money (Just kidding, of course).
We went to a farm. Megan loves animals, but only at a distance. She was a little braver with a cat that we saw. To be fair, that horse was pretty big.
For Memorial Day, we went to the beach. Russ actually went swimming. It wasn't that warm.
The smart ones decided to wait for hotter weather. Megan loved the sand.
Megan loves her shoes and her bath. She is always trying to climb in the tub. She will bring her shoes to me and grunt. If I don't respond, she puts them in my face and grunts again. I never imagined a child of mine liking shoes. Maybe there was a mix up at the hospital with one of my sisters' kids. We found a pair of shoes from when she was a newborn, and she cried and cried because they didn't fit. It broke my heart.
