Trip to Maine

The weekend went by quickly. We enjoyed spending time with Michelle and eating yummy food made my Grandma Nan.

Here is Michelle and Eliza getting ready to leave. I just love the puppy carrier. I used something similar when carrying Addy through then airport.

Trip to Maine

After having her two month check up, Adelaide and I went to the airport to go to Maine for the week. One of the side effects of the shots is that children are often tired and Addy was no exception. She nursed for take off and landing, but slept the for rest of the 5 hour flight. It was nice holding her in my arms while she slept. We were lucky enough to have an empty seat right next to us, so we didn't feel too crowded. Our flight was delayed by about 2 hours and as a result, when we arrived in Boston we only had 1 1/2 hours to catch the last boat of the night. It is a 2 1/2 hour drive from Boston to Cousins Island and we would have missed the boat by about a half an hour. We ended up staying the night in a motel room in Portland and we woke up early to catch the first boat on Saturday morning.

Here is Addy wearing her lobster hat waiting for the first boat.

Grandma Nan held Addy for most of her first boat ride.

Here is Grampy David holding two of his favorite little guys.

Grandama Nan and Addy enjoy hanging out together.

This is where Addy took most of her naps, on the floor wrapped up in beautiful quilts made by Grandma Nan.

My best friend Michelle came over to spend the weekend with us on Chebeague. She brought her dog Eliza. The dogs got along well with each other and were not really bothered by the baby.

Here is Addy trying to ride Eliza. What a cute picture.

Here is Grampy David with both of the dogs. I can't believe how well they got along.

Spring Break

My best friend from college, Michelle McDonough, came to visit for Spring Break. She arrived on Sunday morning and we spent the rest of the day shopping and resting. On Monday, we stayed in Denver, ate some yummy Pho, and hung out at my favorite coffee shop/bar, tHERe. The afternoon was spent at the doctor's office, where Rox and I heard our little girl's heartbeat again and asked for information about donating our baby's cord blood.

On Tuesday, Michelle and I got our hair cut by my wonderful sister, Vic at Bliss Salon. After our haircut, we went on a tour of the Celestial Seasonings factory and tried to enjoy Boulder, but the rain/sleet made walking the Pearl Street Mall less than appealing. The rain turned into snow and we spent the evening and most of the next day hanging out around the house with Vik and her kids because we all had a snow day. Wednesday evening finally cleared up and we went to dinner at Casa Bonita.

Here is a picture of Michelle, Kanoa, Amaya and me in front of the waterfall at Casa Bonita. You are not able to see the waterfall because of the lighting, but trust me it was right there.

On Thursday, Michelle came shopping with us to buy a new rocking chair for the baby's room and then we bought some candy for Michelle to take back to Maine with her. After that we headed up into the Mountains and went to Idaho Springs to eat lunch and soak in the hot spring pool, followed by a little shopping. On our way down the mountain, we tried to stop at the Mother Cabrini Shrine, but we were too late to get in so we settled for taking a couple of pictures just outside the gate. Here is Michelle and the view down the mountain.
Here is a self portrait of Michelle and Me just outside the gate of the Mother Cabrini Shrine. Michelle left very early this morning and I already miss her. I had a great time and I can't wait for her to come out and visit again.
