Fall Already!!

Ok, so I haven't written in MONTHS!! Sorry about that. Been busy with summer stuff, I guess! Now it's already the end of September, and Oliver's 3rd birthday is only a little over a month away! Our summer was great, especially when we got to spend time in Maine, which was quite a lot! Oliver was a regular at the beach, and Maddie seemed to like it, too - she always zonked out in her carseat, perched on a rock, lulled to sleep by the sound of the surf. O made lots of new friends, and by the end of the summer, he seemed to understand the concept of helping other kids build sandcastles, instead of smashing them!!! We've had a good time in NJ, too - lots of playdates with local friends, including a ride on the commuter train from Mt. Arlington station to Hackettstown (see photo), just for FUN!

Maddie is growing so much, and she's such a happy, calm baby -- I'm really glad I had Oliver first, because if I'd had her first, I would have thought that's how babies ARE!! And then when Oliver came, I would have freaked out!! She sleeps at least 9 or 10 hours a night now... I don't talk much about what a good baby she is, because I don't want to annoy my mommy friends whose babies more resemble Oliver at that age!

Oliver has just "grown out" of a rascaly couple of weeks, and has been a most lovely boy for at least 3 days straight. He loves his new 2-wheeler bike with training wheels, mowing the lawn with daddy, and Wonder Pets -- no luck with potty training yet. :-(

Not much more news to report... find me on facebook for more day-to-day updates! Here are a few photo albums from our summer adventures, compiled recently so we could make prints - the second one has some older photos in it that we just hadn't printed yet. Enjoy!

Oh! Almost forgot my other recent project -- working on the website for our cute little house in Maine, which we hope to rent from time to time. Take a look at the Greatest Cape!!
