We are here in Rhode Island with Tim's family for Labor Day (and Laurel's true first B-day!) and are experiencing some real New England weather. It is misty and has been drizzling off and on all day. The kids are getting a little stir crazy. Aurora and Alexandra (her cousin) have been experimenting with sibling rivalry and friendship intermittently. Back in Guilford they both did the princess thing and were super cute. Laurel is approaching one-hood (tomorrow!) and is a real doll, she had her first haircut recently and the sun (when it appears!) glinting off her sweet locks is delectable.
Tim and I took the kayak out today and he dug about in the muck with his toes and turned up 15 or so clams. I sat in the kayak and made him get back in before he had a hypothermic attack. I know he loves the thrill of the hunt of those poor defenseless shelled creatures. It is satisfying, as I recall.
I will post some shots of our adventures here in the Northeast, our stay in Guilford and up here in Rhode Island. Matt and Lakshmi's hood in Guilford is sweet, all that America aspires to. Simple solid houses dwarfed by huge trees, all with baskets of impatiens hanging from the porches. They have miles of wooded trails behind their house, where Aurora and I hunted the wild mushroom.
We also visited Tim's friend Jonathan and his lovely family in New Haven, where we had fantastic pizza from Pepe's out on their flower-filled deck. Sophie is the little blondie.
