Summer is in full swing and we're having a great time! We spent a week up on the island with the hottest temps the island has seen in 3 years! Great for swimming no doubt but hard with a baby and no air conditioner. At one point I was convinced George had an ear infection because was just so cranky. We took him to the island doc and he was perfectly fine. We summed it up to just being really hot. We started giving him baths on the deck throughout the day and that improved his mood dramatically. Magnolia meanwhile spent a lot of time on our latest addition, a giant raft! We had such a nice family time as a family of four. By mid week we had visitors. Our good friends and old neighbors came over from Minnesota. It was the first time meeting their daughter, Bedelia, who is Magnolia's age. We are their son, Liam's, godparents. It was so great visiting, we had a great time. We always seem to pick up right where we left off. Don't you love friends like that? The picture above is Magnolia diving into exploration upon arriving. Below are the two Georges on Father's Day.
This is the first time we were able to capture George's smile on camera. He was loving his outdoor bath and all smiles!
The guys hanging out on the raft with Magnolia and Liam. This is my favorite shot of our friends that George took at School House Beach. I always love interesting compositions and this one looks like an ad out of magazine. They are such a beautiful family too!
While they stayed on at our place we came home to more visitors! Update on that soon!
