Photo session

Maya had to visit the photographer as well (just as Ella did when she was 3-4 months old!)

Summer in the States, Part II - South Carolina

We continued our warm summer days at the beach in South Carolina. Finally, a place where Ella was a bit timid (the waves were 'VERY BIG'!), but not so much at the pool. And Maya, well....hmmm....'hi, i'm here, my name is maya, i smile too, i'm just as cute as ella... :)' She was such a trooper letting the rest of us enjoy our holiday, that we almost feel guilty for doing so! She also enjoyed the beach a bit. All the kids had fun - the fearless baby Jack, the cutest baby Dalton, and the sweetest Madeline. Such good memories!

Summer in the States, Part I

We are lucky creatures to be able to jet between two continents to visit family and friends and actually feel the sun on our skin and wear summer dresses (well, shorts for Rob). Both Maya and Ella enjoyed spending time with their grandparents in South Dakota, along with an evening in NYC (I wonder, Jen, did you enjoy that evening?? :) There was lots of lake swimming, boating, canoeing, and general summer fun. Kelly, we love the lake house! Thank you for being such amazing hosts!

Maya at the time was just a little baby (she seems big now, at nearly six months!) - but already proved to be a good traveler, making sure to sleep the entire flight across the pond. Ella was just excited, as always, no sleeep, as always.
