I am trying to remember if all of my weekends have always been so packed full of stuff or if it has multiplied in the last 8 weeks because of the little one. Either way it was another doozy of a weekend - actually it was more like a weekend +2 because of the holiday thrown in there. On top of it being full of awesomeness with friends and family it was hot. I don't mean wave a paper fan and drink some lemonade hot... I'm talking about seriously considering walking around naked or never leaving the house and air conditioning again. Ever. But as always we pulled through and made the best of it.... which included breaks from sitting on the deck and moving into the living room, a blender (which always comes along with Tequilla and Ice) and of course once we headed up north to NH the swimming pool. All of the above things combined made for an awesome yet exhausting four days. To make it even better we got to spend all four of the days with Daddy and every other member of our family. Maxwell got to see all of her grandparents, aunts, uncles and even some honorary family members and they all got to see (and cuddle) her. It makes me happy to be able to have everyone so involved and included in watching her grow (which she is doing like a weed) so often. We ate drank and were definitely merry. So merry we celebrated birthdays and even exploded a few things (legal things and only in NH...of course). I was even able to dust off the camera and get a few good shots - something I didn't realize I had been missing as much as I apparently did. I may also have had a sip or two of wine Saturday night. Let me tell you those crisp and very cold glasses of Pinot were fantastic. Those glasses also gave me good reason to pull out my alcohol test strips to good use and when I watched then turn colors I was really glad I made the investment in them. They work! And thanks to them baby didn't have her first wine tasting- I think we have to wait a little bit longer for that kind of Mommy/Daughter bonding. Before the wine and the fireworks we spent lots of time in the pool with Max. Getting her in the water and loving it is something very important to David and I. Not just because we want her to play outside and be active and have fun but because we want her to be as safe as possible in every situation and with Meme, Pepe ,Grandpa and Gigi having a pool she will be spending lots of time around water. I actually think she is starting to like the pool and hanging out in it and I am pretty sure it helped cool her down so she was comfy and worn out when we packed her up for Joe Peanuts on Friday and cuddled during the fireworks on Saturday (which she slept through...Seriously I jumped almost every time those colorful booms exploded and baby just snored on). Wow even as I'm typing I'm getting tired trying to remember everything we did! So with that said... Pics to come. I think it's nap time :)

Family. Friends. Fireworks.
