Although the rainstorms have been relentless,
we finally had a string of nice weather.
We decided it was time for Dorothy to become aquatic;
she begged to differ.
This was about as far as she would go before crying.
I don't blame her, though.
The water was stinkin' cold.

She preferred to hang out with her papa
in the warm sunshine.

We also finally had the chance to go out to
Western Mass to visit Tom, Mindy, and Zoe.
The girls are finally starting to notice each other.
Man, I still can't get over Zoe's hair.
Oh, and don't you just love Dorothy's belly
hanging out in this picture?

The proud papas with their baby girls.
And, yes, believe it or not
these two are brothers.

Finally starting to make some eye contact.

Mamas loving on their baby girls.

And another Vieira family photo.

Two happy families.

We had a lot of fun going out for sushi,
taking walks around their cute downtown,
going to a book sale at the local church,
and going to a crafts fair down in Amherst.

Thanks for such a great weekend!

And just a tidbit on Dorothy milestones:
she is rolling over from back to front all the time now,
and, joy of joys, she is starting to cut teeth.
Yes, already.
Wahoo for the Dot.
