Back to New Hampshire: The Clark/Kimmet Rematch

Now you're probably wondering: what the heck is a rematch? That, my friends, is our version of a family reunion. We all went up to NH for the family reunion in Scituate, MA, but before that, we went to the October House and visited with Grandma Nennie, Grumpy, Uncle Barry, Auntie Kate and Arlo.
It was so much fun! Colby got to meet her cousin, Arlo. Actually, we all got to meet each other. Joe and I met Arlo for the first time and just fell in love with him. He is such a sweet, cuddly, determined little guy. And I know that Grandma Nennie was on cloud 9 with her beautiful grandbabies afoot (and afoot they were: Arlo, you with the crawling all over and Colby, you up and down the little kitchen stairs!).

Colby just realizing that Arlo is, indeed, there!

And Auntie Kate was a big hit with Colby, as Colby is a sea gull and Kate is a food-sharer: match made in heaven!
Colby was also trying to decide if she was willing to share her dad with Arlo and ultimately, was unable to...


And onto the actual reunion. It was a great time had by all. Here we are at Peggotty Beach in Scituate. Really, it should be called "Blanchard Beach," and Beach Baby was back in her element!

Arlo and Colby with their cousins, Callie and Ethan, along with Auntie Katie. And of course, me, Barry and Kate.

And then it was off to Somerville with Auntie Maggie and Uncle Paul. So for some reason, we didn't get any pics of that, so we will take a bunch when we go to Auntie Maggie's baby showe next month. It was great to see our friends and also great to eat brunch at Sunset. Awesome.

Ok, back to NH for a quick boat ride, where Colby and Arlo had a blast. And more photographic evidence of Grumpy acknowledging the grandkids!


And, true to her genes, Colby LOVED sailing. "I'm saiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiling! The power, the absolute POWER!"
