Jen, Matt, and Suzy visit!

An incredible visit with Suzy this weekend.  I can not get over how fabulous that girl is!  She smiles all day long, does amazing feats to physical skill, and sleeps like a champ!  Perfection.  Jen and Matt are so attuned to her, it really is wonderful to watch.  Even a seasoned vet like myself picked up a few pointers here and there!

Meg and I had to work Friday so everybody else got to pack up a lunch and head to the lake for a picnic.  Here's Vivie and Auny Jenny making the guac!

And relaxing by the lake:

On Saturday we headed to Smolak farms to pick apples.  It was a beautiful day and there were lots of huge apples.  Unfortunately, we fell prey to some mealy ones.  Next time we'll stick with the tart varieties. 

Meg actually was happy for a while in the Ergo ... this picture maybe doesn't do her justice!

The apples have a definite size advantage over Suzy!

Duck races!

On Sunday we went to the Reading Street Faire.  But rewinding a bit ... I woke up a bit hungover from a visit to the Devlin's the night before.  I put it behind me and ran a 5k race with the Hoffenbergs because I said I would.  It was hot.  I hadn't really eaten.  I did ok (30 minutes) and then went back to shower before heading to the Faire.  By the time we got there I was very hungry.  And kinda tired.  It was loud.  It was crowded.  I couldn't get food because Meg was having lots of fits.  It was not really fun for me by then! 

But Pip, Viv, and Ella did not mind.  Here they are dancing to the live music:
