During the week, the men left for an intense hike in the Sierra Mountains, and the ladies and babies stayed at the Lake.
Lake Tahoe has always been a very special place to my family--we lived there when I was little and have gone back nearly every year since we moved away. There is a magical feeling there--the smell of the pine trees, the feel of the air, the purest blue of the lake. It is truly exquisite and something about it feels so much like home. So it was wonderful to have Marie there for such a long visit, introducing her to a place that we love so well.
We missed the boys while they were on their hike (and we had no contact with them at all), but we had fun nonetheless. While we were there, Marie got her first two teeth! Both of her bottom middle teeth came in, one right after the other. She also rolled over from her front to back. It was a big week!
She had a lot of fun watching her older cousins and spending time with her Auntie Paige. She also enjoyed the beach and all of the new sights and sounds.

And when the guys got home, things got even better! Marie was so excited to see her daddy! The guys had a great time on their hike and came back with some incredible photos. Tony will need to write a post about that.
The trip was a great way to end the summer. We're feeling refreshed and looking forward to a nice fall her in Oregon.
[I really, really wanted to get a photo of Marie and Xav and Evey and we never got it... Next time...]
