Home Sweet Home

We're back from a great week in Nantucket. Vic and I had a wonderful time exploring the island with Alexis, hitting the beach, spending time with our friends and just being on vacation for the first time as a family of three! 

We quickly learned that Lexi is not yet a water baby - at least when it comes to the Atlantic Ocean. Sitting on the beach, playing in the sand, watching the waves and the people was much more enjoyable for her this time around. So we did a lot of that - hitting Jetties, Surfside and Sconset beaches, we took Alexis out to dinner several times (she couldn't sample the Clam Chowder or oysters, so we happily tested them for her), shopped along Main Street and looked at all the boats in the marina, explored different parts of the island, played in the baby pool in our yard and even had a lobster bake.  Vic and I got out for two adult dinners - one was just the two of us and the other was with Eric and Adrienne once the kiddos were asleep. And, while on her first vacation, Lexi got her first tooth! This was certainly the least fun part of the trip for her, but she handled it in stride. Wonderful memories were made, and we hope to get back there again soon. 

Below are some shots of Lexi enjoying island life. Stay tuned for some shots of the "big kids" on summer vacation :)
