Labor Day

I know this is a week late, but this has been a busy time for us, and I just have not had a moment to get this up. For Labor Day weekend, Jamie needed to get the hell out of town and away from his job, which has been consuming every moment of his life lately. We went up to his families lake house in Maine on Sunday morning and just stayed for one night. There were more people already up there than we expected, but we had such a good time eating, cooking, swimming, reading, playing, listening to and playing music, drinking beer and picking blueberries. Here are some pictures!

Little Flossie, wet and nervous.

Hazel and mama, doing what we do best: staring, laughing and tickling each other.

They never stop trying to sink this damn float, no matter how many times they fail. They are very persistent. Dave, Jamie, Chris.

Hazel and Cousin Haley.

Hazel with Cousin Tanner and soon-to-be Cousin Gabby. Gabby and Tanner are probably one of the most attractive couples out there, and we cannot wait to get as drunk at their wedding as Tanner got at ours. Gabby is a total natural with kiddos. She is going to be a phenomenal mama when she is ready. They cuddled right up, and she didn't even mind when Hazel barfed all over her cute dress. We love Gabby!
