Long time, no blog! I'm going to try to catch you up on the latest with a whirlwind blogging session. Here we go: A few weekends ago, one of the Attendings that your mom works with generously offered to let us use his lake house for the day during her day off. The three of us took a quick drive to the North Western part of Connecticut, passing through some extremely beautiful parts of the state, and got to the good Doctor's house in time to enjoy the site pictured in this photo. (click the photo for a link to more pictures from that day). We found a life jacket that fit you (unfortunately, pink) and with only a modicum of protestation, you obliged us by wading in the clear (but cold) waters of the lake. After playing by the lakeside for a few hours, we turned over the canoe that was stashed by the side of the house and the three of us piled in to brave the large waves caused by too many speedboats in too small a space. Your first canoe trip was awesome, as evidenced by your excited expression from the bow as your mom held on to you while I paddled. We passed a number of beautiful houses that your mom and I can't wait to buy once we win the lottery. :) You were a natural on the water and I can tell that in no time at all, you'll be the one paddling.

That has always been one of my favorite parts of the state; there used to be fantastic little towns with charming, albeit expensive, places to eat, stay, etc. Just think, you could be out there canoeing without either passing out from heat stroke, or having so much Off applied, that you're gasping for air!
