The Baldwin Family: A weekend at the lake...in the rain

Since the last post, Harper has started school. It was much harder for me than for her (and still is), but we have survived the first couple of weeks. The only complaint that her teachers have is that she won't finish her bottles because she is too busy smiling and laughing. What a happy baby! I wish I could be that happy while I'm off working...yeah right! Hadleigh loves having Harper go to school with her and her teacher told us that when she walks by Harper's room, Hadleigh tells all her friends to be quiet because Harper is sleeping. We are adjusting to our new fall routine, but we sure do miss playing outside and taking walks around the neighborhood everyday.
This past weekend, we ventured down to the lake with our good friends, The Considines. Everyone had a great time, despite all the rain and the lack of electricity the first night. Luckily, it was still nice when we got there Friday, so we got to go out on the boat for a while and the girls (and dads) got to swim. Michael and Christian took Maddie and Hadleigh to the science museum Saturday morning and apparently had a ball climbing through worms?!? Later that day, Hadleigh caught her first fish. All in all, it was a fun, relaxing weekend away and Hadleigh had a blast keeping up with her buddy, Maddie. Thanks Michael and Abby!
