Weekend at the cabin

We spent a long weekend up in Michigan with Zea and friends. It rained almost the whole time but we enjoyed the fall colors and just getting away.

Took a walk on a trail through the woods of Sleeping Bear Dunes Nat.'l. Lakeshore with a forest gnome strapped on front.

She's got her own walking stick.

Through the forest, then the dunes (heavy trudging) to the shore of Lake Michigan.

Zea gets a ride back with her Papa.

Back in the cabin playing with the camera.

On the way home- a new game of peekaboo.

The monotony sets in.

Nice to leave but nicer to come home.

We finally broke out the SLR digital camera. Too many photos have been taken.
A few for your viewing pleasure

Lunch is served. Peas with brown rice and homemade pears. Of course, more is on Zea than in her belly. Zea is eating two solid meals a day.

Nap Time

I am powerless in the presence of the sleeping baby. Must. Take. Picture.

Half-Birthday and Parent Appreciation Day

Big celebrations for us last weekend: Zea had her official half-birthday ("they grow up so fast" is no joke) her mom and dad had their 5th anniversary (!) and someone else in the house turned a much older age (and we don't need to say more about that). Zea visited the pediatrician Monday, weighing in at 15 lbs. 14 oz. and measuring 26 and a half inches long. She got her last round of shots for a while, handled it like a champ, and was so thankful that it will be at least three more months before she has to return, she slept from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.. Thank you Zea Bea!!
