hiking between our houses on six mile island

the cousins taught us how to fish with a stick and a line
















max's first fish!















i caught it! i caught a fish!


































riding the old train

he loved trying out his new trick on every stationary object: peeing standing up













and he's a really exuberant harmonica player too!

busy, busy spring & summer!





Mimi and poppa's visit to portland

























While making a cake with mimi, Z wanted to 'just taste some of it' - and yes, after licking a strawberry she did indeed put it on the cake!




Our annual father's day strawberry picking expedition.



















Happy daddy's day!
















Max didn't get a single strawberry into the bucket, every one went directly in his mouth.
















Max loves riding tractors...








and airplanes too!




Zadie likes to adorn her dolls. I found this one to be rather punk (ok... I added the safety pin, but she did everything else).


















Zadie Rose Niedergang

















having a great time in the tent with poppa! (click on it to make it bigger -it's very cute!)



























working on the farm on martha's vineyard














Max is a very enthusiastic farmer.
























A truly "perfect moment" - sailing in poppa's boat with Captain Charlie at the helm (or is that max?) It was magical...really.













Sarah's last weeks in the US, she seemed to have a wonderful time - bye bye Sarah, we miss you!






















As Captain Charlie says: "Get the feeling of heeling"!






































looking quite stylish
