Playing catch up

I have been meaning to post these family pictures that we had taken on Maryn's baptism for 2 months now!!! Jennifer Tilley Photography did an amazing job! Thanks Jen!! It's so fun to look back at these pictures and see how much Maryn has changed in only 2 months. She's losing more and more hair every day and it keeps getting lighter and lighter. It's so fun anticipating what our little girl is going to look like!

We just returned from a week long vacation on Fire Island, off Long Island, NY. Mac grew up going to Point 'O Woods every summer, a community on Fire Island without cars....only bikes!! The family home belongs to poppop and grandma Johnson and we are just so lucky to be able to have such an amazing place to enjoy with family. You take a ferry from Long Island across the Great South Bay over to Fire Island, pack up your luggage (or in our case....luggage, pack n play, bumbo seat, 85 lb Golden Retriever, stroller, dog food, 13 lb bundle of baby girl etc!) in a wagon and walk to your house! It's amazing! You ride a bike to the little grocery, to the candy store, to the beach which is on the Atlantic side of the island, to the tennis courts and to the calmer water on the bay. No air conditioning, showers are outside under the house, the front porch is 20 feet from the Great South Bay, beach cruisers and our legs are our only means of transportation! We fell asleep every night listening to the water on the bay! One word....relaxing!!

And yes...we drove!!! Holy smokes! 16 hours to NYC from our house....a dog and a 4 month old baby...just use your imagination! We stopped in D.C. overnight both ways and visited with Mac's friend Mike and his wife Amy on our way there and then stayed with his Aunt Sarah and Uncle Kevin on our way home! Thank you for the warm hospitality!!! Bode was a champ and pretty much slept the entire trip and Maryn actually did great as well! She enjoys her carseat so we are pretty lucky. She was held for the entire week so the moment we got home today....tummy time!!! She actually sat up on her own for about 20 seconds too!! I'll have to sort through pics and post soon!
