Maine!

Chilling out with dad and the remote. Alice wasn't feeling well."Time for full and empty."

Alice and Simon demonstrate "parallel play."
"Nana brought you a present!" Curious George story collection.
Uncle Misha, Aunt Wendy and Baby Simon (not a baby anymore) enjoying a walk on the causeway.
Nana's hat and Alice - perfect fit!
Nana and Alice enjoying the sun, some books, and a snow shovel.
Cousin Simon came to visit!
Aunt Wendy enjoying the kayak.
Unfortunately our camera drowned (Sarah's fault) so we don't have pictures from the rest of our vacation - thanks to Nana for sharing some of hers!

Swing tour of Massachusetts

Davis Farmland with Mimi

The baby goats were so sweet.
Alice loved the mice in this box, too.

Drawing

You may have already seen these posted on Facebook, but I couldn't resist posting them here as well. Alice's current favorite things to draw are spiders, children on swings (mom and dad draw the swing sets), hearts and "just right elmo faces."

The Vezinas

Some pictures from our June trip to Massachusetts:

Kissing cousins. Alice kissed Jaelynn countless times during our visit to Memere's house, exclaiming, "That's nice!" after each kiss. Jaelynn laughed and repeated "That's nice!" She got a real kick out her cousin Alice.Alice likes to tell Pepere, "I've been thinking about your belly." Pepere is sitting in (the original) Coco's chair with the automatic "eject" button to help him lift himself out of the chair when he's ready to stand up. Fun for adults as well as kids.
Pepere and Alice took a walk in the woods at beautiful Coggshall Park in Fitchburg. Alice was glowing...
We saw lots of ducks at the park, geese, fish, and a snake!

A story by Alice, 22 July

One day a funny face went to town and met another funny face.
[E: What did the funny face say to the other funny face?]
Bunny's eating his good supper!

Fishing in Maine

We're back in New York. Too much to put in one post, so we'll upload little by little.

Alice her first fishing experience, thanks to a rod and reel brought up by Pepere! Holding worms was one of the highlights of the trip for her. She got some bluegills. Unfortunately, one went belly up, and the digital camera took a fatal dive as Mom tried to save the corpse for fishprints.
