Lane enjoying her favorite part of the day...breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Bath-time in the same sink Daddy used to take one in!

Raspberry picking with the fam. on the driveway to the cottage. Mom made a fabulous raspberry pie later that night with our crop.
Mom and Lane down by the lake.
Lane got her very first doll from Chris's parents. Needless to say it has replaced Big Bird as her best friend.
Chris's parents also gave her this ride-on Leap Frog toy that makes noise if you practically look at it. She LOVES this (and pushing the same button over and over) but by about 3:00 in the afternoon..Mom and Dad are done with this one :)

Definitely a Daddy's girl!A couple of weeks ago we headed to the UP for our annual trip to Chris's family cottage. The 8 hour car ride there proved to be interesting as we are still having problems with Lane wetting through her diaper and all of her clothes, except this time it was more than wet, if you get my drift. Good times. Besides the diaper issues and feeling like a circus performer entertaining her from the front seat for a few hours, the drive went well.
The cottage, was as always, wonderful and so relaxing. My mother-in-law cooks for us every day like we are fine dining and the lack of TV, Internet and phone reception is such a nice break from the every day. Lane loved swimming in the lake and the only reason she had to come out of the water was because her lips would turn blue and her teeth would chatter. If we let her, I think she would have stayed in all day!
We were also able to celebrate Laney's b-day with Chris's family while we were there. Great Grandpa and Grandma Petersen (who live on the other side of the lake for the summer) came over to help celebrate too. She did great until it all just became too much and she broke down while eating her cupcake. Don't worry though, she of course managed to finish the cupcake while screaming and arching her back. Good girl.
Overall, the trip was so needed but as all good things are, too short. Until next year!!

Looks like fun and good weather. We used to have raspberry bushes in the back yard of the house I grew up in. We'd pick and eat them all summer. I loved that!
