Piper at the lake

My girl is getting old:



Where: Upstate NY
When: August 2011

We had the opportunity to spend the weekend at a friend's parent's lake house, and it was absolutely lovely. Piper had a great time, but it made me realize that she's really starting to slow down. Her face is getting whiter, and while the opportunity to romp around in a lake would once have sent her racing in uncontrollably crazy circles, this time she was notably restrained, indulging in a matronly wade to stomach depth, pausing with eyes half closed and a contented expression, then wading back out. I think she enjoyed herself anyway, but it was a reminder that we probably only have a few years left with her.

Here she is looking a little more lively:

We had the most amazing weekend, totally by accident. Some friends invited us to head upstate with them to a lake house for the weekend, at 5pm on Friday night, and we had SUCH a great time. Although Piper might have had the best time of all, rolling in the grass, wading in the lake, begging for food in the kitchen, and walking through the woods. Our friends are fabulous hosts as well, and cooked the most delicious things all weekend.

I finally uploaded some photos that I've taken over the last month or two, so I'll put those up this week, or will try to remember to.
