Meeting the Gang in Rockport

This is a pretty exciting trip- last weekend Olivia, Suzanne, and I got together with some very long time friends and their families. Babies at Rockport, we dubbed it Rockababy 2007. Here is the whole gang in one place. They are: L-R, Suzanne, Bob, Olivia, Doug, Julian & Ian, Sam & Evie, Ben & Margaret, Beatrice, Anne & Emma, Sam & Jonas. Notably missing (and terribly missed) are Jeremy, Sheila, and Donna. This weekend was the first time we'd all gotten together with our families, and it was fantastic. There are more pictures from the weekend (and the higher-res version of this one) at our flickr photo site. There was much talking with old friends, much child play, and much beach going...


And here is Olivia experiencing the Atlantic ocean for the first time. First time on a beach, too- when I put her, barefoot, down to walk on the sand, she picked her foot up and wriggled her toes, as if to say "what's this stuff stuck to my feet?" She did touch the water, though she prefered to do it from a safe distance.
