I gave Sophie her first big haircut right after school started again. It was getting really ratty and unruly, so decided to take matters into my own hands. I cut about 3 inches off the back, and some bangs, and have to say, it turned out pretty well (thank goodness!).
We only had two weddings this year, and they happened about 3 weeks from each other. Dan & Maithili got married just outside of Philadelphia in a beautiful waterfront ceremony. I didn’t have my camera, so only have the pictures there were emailed to me. Once I get some of the actual ceremony (and bride & groom!), I’ll update this post.
At the end of August we took a week and headed up to New England to stay on a boat and sail around, visiting a few different places. We started in Newport, sailed to the tip of Cape Cod to Cuttyhunk and then went to Martha’s Vineyard where we visited Edgartown and Vineyard Haven. It was an excellent vacation with perfect weather. Sophie got sea sick the first day and then was great for the rest of the week.
It’s hard to believe, but summer camp is already over. Sophie went to a day camp at her school, where she played with most of her regular friends and teachers. She’s now off for three weeks spending time with both sets of grandparents, with a sailing vacation in-between with mom & dad. Here’s a look at just a few of the things she did while at camp.
Yesterday we had dinner with Rebecca, John & Ava who is 5 months old. Sophie got a kick out of her and I think Ava was pretty entertained too.
We had our 20 week check-up and anatomy scan on Thursday and found out we’re expecting another girl! Everything looks good and I’m feeling great. We’re excited to have another girl, and Sophie is semi-excited about the little sister. We’ll work on it… Here are a few pictures.
Well, the song is right: No more monkeys jumping on the bed. On Monday night Sophie was jumping on our bed, fell off, and hit her mouth on the bed side table. Her lip was split and her front teeth were missing, so I rushed her to the emergency room. After several x-rays they discovered that her teeth had actually been knocked back up into her gums. She also needed to get 3 stitched in her lip. She was a real trooper through the whole ordeal. She was out of school all this week and is healing well. Her lip is much better, swelling is going down, and it looks like she won’t need any oral surgery – apparently it’s very likely that the teeth will come back down on their own.
Grandma made the big move into my parent’s house the weekend we visited. She’s set up in my old room, and it looks great. It’s been a tough move for everyone, but she’ll be settled in soon. And of course, Jill is back at home again…
