September update


We wrapped up August with our visit from Laurie and Zach. Above, we're down in Boothbay Harbor for the afternoon, enjoying the sights and popping in and out of shops.

Cate is always fascinated with hats, and occasionally she gives Daddy's a try. Daddy did bring her home a small plastic fire helmet from work, and she wore it in to school the other day when she and Rick stopped by after school to visit.

Last week Rick and two of the neighbor guys took the boat down riv-ah for dinner at the Osprey- a little guys night out. So we women and children stayed home and ordered in. Cate loves her little neighbor friend, Nola, and here she is insisting on helping Nola's mom feed her dinner. Cate loves to feed her babies dinner, but this baby actually ate the food! So exciting!!
Cate and Nola playing after dinner. Cate continued to try and feed Nola imaginary food, and Nola actually would "eat" the imaginary food off the spoon! Cate was in heaven.

Rick was working on replacing parts on the boat trailer one recent afternoon, and Cate found it quite interesting. She plopped right down next to him on his cardboard mat and played with the socket set. Then she took the socket wrench and went around the trailer "tightening" up all loose parts. We may have a Miss Fix-it on our hands!
Or we may have a librarian. Cate continues to love her books, and she was playing in her room recently while I was sorting laundry across the hall in the bathroom. It seemed quiet over there (always concerning), so I went in for a peek. She was just hanging out in the big chair, reading her books.
Labor Day weekend we took the boat up to camp for the first time. It was a beautiful weekend, and it was fun to be able to go all the way around the lake.
