Vacation Day 2 (Monday)

On Monday, we had another low-key day.  Kevin played golf, and Kate and I visited with a friend from my home town and her newly adopted daughter, Laney.  Katie and her husband started the adoption process around the time that Kate turned 1.  We’ve compared notes a few times about how this whole adoption process works, and it has been encouraging to have a friend to bounce questions off of!  We have prayed for them through their journey and are so happy that this sweet little girl is in their family!  On another note, it was also fun to see Kate’s reaction to being around a newborn baby.  She was SO concerned when Laney cried, and immediately ran to get her Doc McStuffins doctor bag to “give her a checkup”. This big sister thing is going to be interesting!

Later that day, we took part in some typical summer fun- POPSICLES!

And of course that night, we went on a leisurely boat ride.  This is Kate’s standard “spot” on the boat. 

And then later Captain Kate had to take the wheel…
