Our Maine vacation ~ Beauty

Like I said, Maine is gorgeous.

...Stay tuned for more fun...

Our Maine vacation ~ Nathan

If there ever was a boy who loved his daddy, our Nate
would be him. A week without dad going to work
is definitely his idea of a fabulous vacation.

He surprised us by instantly loving the lake.

Can you even stand this face? I know.

Man, this vacation thing is a bit exhausting.

Good thing I have a great pillow.
Any other nine-month olds you know that can drive
the boat with one hand? I didn't think so.

We sure adore this boy and are grateful he is so darling

and so fun to take on vacation. Oh, and just for the record,
it's pretty likely this is the cutest picture ever to be taken.

Our Maine vacation ~ Benjamin

Oh our Benjamin, he is a fun one. He had decided before we left for

Maine, he didn't want to go in the lake. That lasted about ninety

seconds. We could hardly pull him away once he started swimming.

Although, he spent about as much time building in the sand. He loved it.

He was also a bit nervous about the boat, but once Jacob took off,

he was convinced. He would sit in the front laughing like crazy.

I love these tubing photos so much, mostly because of the terrified look on Ben's face.

He was scared. But he did it. And there are few things that I love more as a mother.

Love this age, love this photo, love this boy.
He definitely made our vacation that much better.

Our Maine vacation ~ Matthew

Matt boy has been full of energy from the moment he was born and that
is never more obvious than when we are outside doing fun activities.
His idea of heaven is playing outside with the family all day, every day.

He tried everything and was as brave as can be. He just

loved having so many fun options to do over and over again.

And really, isn't he just one darling boy?

Last time he was on a tube, he only wanted to ride

with his dad and keep it calm. This time...not so much.

Matt makes everything about our family life more fun and more

exciting. And our vacation to Maine was definitely no exception.

Our Maine vacation ~ Annie

This girl just makes me smile all of the time. She was so happy with everything

(as is her nature) and just wanted to try anything and play every second possible.

She especially loves her dad and was in heaven

every time she had one-on-one time with him.

Oh this picture. I almost can't stand how much I love it.

Nathan boy absolutely adores his sister.

But I believe tubing won for her favorite activity. Very quickly, she was

flying all over that lake and begging for one more turn over and over again.

Having Annie be a part of anything we do just makes it that much
better and our vacation was no exception. This girl is amazing.
