summer fun

Well, there are no massive milestones to post about, but seeing as it is going to be Juniper's FIRST BIRTHDAY in less than a week (?!!!?), and we are leaving that day for some Fredericton visiting and festivities, I sense an epic blog post in the making.  As such, I figured I might as well offer an interim post with some summer coming and goings.

Last weekend was Juniper's very first boat ride - we took a ferry over to McNab's Island, which none of us had ever done before.  What a wonderful day!  I spent the time learning about medicinal herbs, and for the most part, Clark and Juniper hiked around, exploring the island.  I particularly love this shot of Juniper in the magical forest:

This past week, we were lucky to have a lovely visit from Ramzi and Allison and their adorable little Faris, who now live in Ottawa. Faris even agreed to some nice long snuggles, as you can see.  I know sounds cliché, but I can barely even remember when Juniper was that small!

Other than that, we've been going on summer walks in the park, having get-togethers and parties with the baby gang, and we've been taking fun road trips, like our spontaneous jaunt to Wolfville yesterday.  Really, the only real struggle we're having right now is still a sleep issue.  Once Clark finishes reading the book, we're thinking about giving the no-cry sleep solution a try.  I'll keep you posted!

Just to leave you with a bit of video, here's a couple of random things from the last few days.
