A Ride on the Hobie

Sailboats aren't really my "thing". I want a boat that I can stop immediately if I want to. But my reluctance didn't stop Max and Quinlan from talking Uncle Barney into taking them out on his Hobie Cat. They said it was a great ride but their cousin made them a little nervous with his on-board antics.

Quinlan's lost tooth

Quinlan's "grown up" teeth were growing in behind her baby teeth on the bottom. Finally, she got one that was wiggly. She worked it for a while until it was hanging on by a thread. Then I asked if I could see how wiggly it was and pulled it out when she wasn't paying attention. I know, not a nice mom but I got the job done with minimal blood and tears.

Cousins at the Lake

The Connor Cousins (Mina, Will and Andee) and their Mom and Dad came to the lake for the day. Unfortunately, it wasn't too sunny but we had fun and a boat ride. It was a fun day!

Quinlan, then and now

I took this picture of Quinlan last week at the shore.

Aunt Kath took this picture of Quinlan during the summer of 2005 and I can't remember if it was before or after she broke her arm that summer. Cute, huh?

Keuka Lake and Izzy's (Marianna Keville) Birthday

Daddy and Max Max did a great job all by himself

Max, Reilly, Uncle Dick Keville, Izzy, Aaron (her brother) and Sydney Reilly

Uncle Dick and two pretty girls.... Reilly and Izzy. Izzy turned 2. You might think they were the same age. She got a lot of great presents. We were happy to celebrate with her. We don't get that chance often because she and Aaron live in Georgia when they aren't visiting their Grandma and Grandpa Keville at Panther Lake.

Aunt Susie and Reilly revive a "Poppy's Lake" Tradition singing all the old favorites while rocking in Poppy's chair.... K-K-K Katie, I've Been workin' on the railroad, East Side/West Side, You are my sunshine.
