A slow boat to Long Island

We regularly travel on the Cross Sound Ferry from Orient Point, NY to New London, CT. The ferry ride breaks up the trip nicely and we usually get to meet some nice people, see some dogs, and enjoy the views as we cross Long Island Sound.

You can see the dogs that had Lola mesmerized just outside the ferry window

On this trip home Lola went crazy for some young dogs out on deck just outside our window. She got really loud, pointing, and banging on the window. The owners of the lab mixes were very nice and let us pet them and say hello.

Sunset at the Orient Point lighthouse

We also saw a spectacular sunset just as we entered the port to land, it was nice to get back to Long Island and a good ending to our trip.

Date night

First date night post beeb, yeah we know how to be crazy!

Kissing the hardwood

Fat lip

We're up in MA visiting grandma and pepe this weekend, Lola has been excited to see everyone and is burning around the house. She had a tumble while in turbo crawl mode and got this, her first fat lip...

Still happy even with a puffy lip

Of course I know how to use my new chair

Lola has been cruising up a storm and is practicing her sitting. Once she can sit in a chair on her own she gets to hang out with the bigger kids in her day care class. To further this aspiration we got her a small wooden chair and of course she knew exactly what to do with it....

Little bites

Occasionally when we're on the road Maggie craves a Dunkin Donuts coffee and conveniently I crave a Boston Cream donut. While Lola isn't sharing mommy's coffee yet she insists on getting a healthy bite of my donut.

We constantly take pictures of Lola but we haven't managed to sit her down for any professional photographs. Luckily her daycare had its annual picture day so we got a great shot of Lola for our collection.

Moooo

We got this rocking cow when Lola was just a couple of months old, now she's up and cruising around we figured it was time she give it a try. We're still working on our mount and dismount but she's having fun!
