Jeanne and Susan Visit

Susan and Monet had a nice time together....they weeded around the pool, picked basil from the garden, played on her air-bed mattress and just became friends!


We splurged and had lobster for dinner last night and Susan and Doob did a great job steaming them!!


Here we are ready to dig in!


I think Jeanne is going to send in her tape to try to get on the next Survivor...you never know!!

The Nowlan's hit the Movies

Susan, Doob and Jeanne went out on the town tonight to have dinner at the Hanover Inn and to see the Premiere of the Saint Gaudens Movie at Dartmouth. Miss Monet and I stayed back at home nursing an ear ache.

Monet does the dishes

They were a little big, but it is never too earlier to train your kids to do the dishes! We now have to tell her that leaving your clothes is usually what most people do!

VH

What a nice break from the mainland! Thanks Welch's!

Berry Season!

I picked some strawberries last night and this morning let Monet check them out. Next year she can be in the rows with me searching for the perfect one....but this year she was more then happy with choosing her own from the box on her tray!

Visit with the Robertson's

Mike and Cindy Robertson came up from Bedford, MA to visit on Saturday afternoon. We had a wonderful visit with them and dinner outside on our new patio furniture. Just a great night!

Summer Solstice

So I think I have added something to my list of "Things to do Before you are 90" - Be at Stonehenge for sunrise on the Summer Solstice. Check out this article from a newspaper in England - Gathering at Stonehenge

Doesn't it look like something that would truly be memorable on numerous levels!

Monet takes to the Pool!!

Monet finally decided the pool wasn't all bad this afternoon. We were probably in it for close to an hour! It was a blast and Doob and I had as much fun as she did!

DaDa Day

It was nice to have Ethan, Louisa and Monet all together on Father's Day. Ethan and Monet have now spent two of the same holidays together! The "LOUISE" boat ride was great and I am definatly jealous of Jill & her ride on the Big Mable! PopPop and MoMo have a thing for each other don't ya think??????

Balloon Fest in Quechee, VT

We took a little family adventure to the Quechee Balloon Fest and had a nice night. The weather was perfect and the balloons went up into a clear blue sky. Monet just thought they were the most interesting thing since seeing Sweat Pea for the first time. As you can see by the photos she was amazed by the colorful and beautiful site!!

Pool is OPEN!

Enhanced these couple photos to black and white in iPhoto and wanted to share. And Doob took the last photo of Monet and I just awaiting the night we can all go for a dip in the pool!!!

Meal time is fun time!

Here Monet licks every last piece of sweet potato out of her bowl and then mimics Sweet Pea as she takes a bath on the floor next to her high chair.

Wow has she changed!

These are a few photos of Monet last May and the last one is from June. We were looking at them tonight and I had to post a few. She has changed so much in 13 months it really is hard to put my mind around it.

New Residents to Cornish

New PJ's

Nanna gave Monet these great PJ's! They are cool for these summer months! And I had to post a few of her attempting to get through one of her new closed road.

Green Beans, Hampers and Naps

Monet is turned into a little Monkey before our very eyes! Nothing is safe...even an empty clothes hamper. She does eat green beans when enticed just a bit.
