Its been a while since we have posted a video so we thought we would share this clip of Ada showing off her knowledge of the A-B-Cs.

(video is just under 1 minute long and loading times will differ based on your connection speed)

No real need for a caption... just lovin' the fall!

K and I had the chance to go sailing off the coast of Maine last weekend. Her college outing club sponsored an overnight with the Outward Bound base out of Wheeler Bay north of Bath. We sailed on open boats that were modeled after the old whaling boats. We sailed until after dark, anchored and cooked on the boat, slept on the boats, and then took turns doing a “night watch” to make sure the boast wasn’t drifting or a storm wasn’t coming in. The skies were clear and we were treated to some of the best stars we have ever seen! Despite being a frigid morning, I took a dip and then K proceeded to ‘captain’ out ship for the rest of the day before finally guiding us back to base.

It was a great mini-trip and it was fun to reunite with OB. In addition to getting to see how another base and field operates, we had fun trying something totally new. Knowing that the heritage of the OB lay in sailing made the experience that much more special.

Holy Smokes time has been zipping by! It is hard to believe that it has been a full month since we have posted last... school is in full swing and ada is operating at top speed! We promise a more detailed updated soon- but in the mean time we thought we would share this picture from a recent ultrasound. The picture is the new baby's profile (looking up). Kara is 20 weeks now and is over half way through the pregnancy!
