The trip

We're back!!!

Here are some of the photo highlights of our trip to Rochester.

Taken before the trip but I couldn't resist. Little baby had her first mouthful of grass. :)
We had lots of fun at Oma and Grandpa's house, swimming ...

Off-roading in the Gator (alpacas in the background, of course)


Eating raw tomatoes picked fresh from the garden.
and more swimming.

Molly and Kate also played at Grandma's house...

And spent lots of time with family ...

The two babies, just 4 months apart. Welcome, little Henry!!!!


I snuck into the living room to eaves drop on Lucy reading a Highlights High Five to Molly. Last night before bed Molly pulled out the same issue at our house and told me that Lucy has a magazine with the same pictures but different words. :)






We had a great time visiting. Kate learned to roll the other way -- from her tummy to her back -- sometime during the week, but she can't always do it. She also discovered that she can function just fine on WAY less sleep. We're now in the process of convincing her to go back to her super sleeper ways. That's easy, right?

As always, Molly was sad to leave. We were barely on the road (at the first of many, many rest stops) when she seemed a little weepy. I started telling her how soon we'd be home in our own beds with our own toys, etc., thinking that would help. It made her cry. She said she wanted to stay in Rochester longer.

I just read this post to Lucy and at the end when she heard that Molly was sad to go she said "that is sad and silly and happy." She is happy that Molly wanted to stay, sad that she was sad, and silly because it is making her kind of giddy that Molly wanted to stay.
