Our Happy Family of Four

We had the chance to get away up up to the lake for a week by ourselves. Our first vacation with just the four of us. We had such a great time together and as always, enjoyed the life of leisure with no cell reception, schedule, or office to be at. Dan still did some work a few mornings while the kids and I took nature walks, painted, collected rocks to throw off the dock, visited the horses, and baked. Dan joined us for lunch, then the kiddos would nap while I got a chance to lay in the sun and read, then when everyone was awake and work was done, we took "Ms. Lola" out on the water each night with some snacks and wine to cruise the lake and swim. Palmer Lake is SUCH an amazing place that we are very thankful to have to escape to!
 
 
 The first day we got there was August 17th - Mac was three months old and slept most of the day!
 Swimming at Indian Beach, It was Mac's first dip in the lake. He had his binkie and didn't make one peep as we swung his legs into the water.

 Something new...a fist in the mouth. Mac is chewing, sucking, and drooling so much. I think he's taking after his sister to get some early teeth. He's still so happy though!
 Lola on "Ms. Lola"
After our trip, I asked her what was her favorite thing to do at Palmer Lake and she said, "I like riding on Ms. Lola!"
 My sleeping boys.
Mac can be so tired, fighting off sleep, and as soon as he gets a little skin-to-skin, he calms right down and falls asleep. I am not sure how we will ever get this sweet boy out of our bed!
 Lola's cake face. Every year for our anniversary, my mom gets us wedding cake to enjoy at the lake. This year, Lola got to partake in the cake eating and loved every bite!



 Tummy time! Mac is getting so big. He can roll from his tummy to his back on both sides. After we got home, he rolled from his back to his front! Lola likes to join in during tummy time and rolls over as well :)
Rach brought Lola a bunch of rubber ducks that they named together and Lola played with every day we were at the lake. Husker Duck, Glamour Duck, Lucky Duck, Piggie Duck and Monkey Duck. Lola put them all in a bucket with water and said, "Look Mama, they're taking a family bath!"
