All good things must come to an end, and so must my first summer with Cally. Fortunately, it was one of those perfect summer days here in Vermont. John decided to work from home and we had great ideas for my last 24 hours off...... most got quickly negated because we'd be out of cell phone service (since the Trekkies went into the woods on Saturday, John's phone has been ringing off the hook). And so, we did what we could, between phone calls, to make the most of our final day.
A family run,
A trip to Arcana to pick up our farm share and do a little u-pick in the herb garden,
and a swim up at High Meadow.
The day was topped off with a delicious Mexican meal made from an assortment of our CSA veggies.
8 month Update:
A few quick notes about Cally at 8 months, she's fully crawling, getting up to standing position, letting us "dunk" her underwater, talking tons (but only she really knows what she's saying), laughing often, eating like a champ, loving "finger food", getting her two front teeth, and continuing to smile lots!
Here she is with a new garage sale find:

Sweet Cal, I'm one lucky mama to have been able to spend so much quality time with you during the last 10 weeks. Motherhood is even more amazing than I ever imagined it could be. You make me so incredibly proud to call you my daughter. You aren't just an "easy baby", you are so spirited, funny, thoughtful, curious, goofy, loving, and sweet. Everyone who meets you sees just a little of your magic, but we are lucky enough to live it everyday.
