Paul and Jill posing during dinner.

Kelsey cutting up peaches in the kitchen.

Cutting the sushi roll into six pieces.

We grilled steaks from Tommy’s Market covered with Tommy’s steak rub, which was delicious.

Kevin making sushi. We did tuna and shrimp with avocado and cucumber.

Kelsey caught an osprey flying over our house on (digital) film.

The baby bump at week 33.

Geese swimming near the downed tree in the sound behind our house.

The sunset viewed through the trees on our top deck.

Kayakers out on the sound looking at the sunset.

The sunset over the neighbor’s dock, viewed from the steps leading down to the sound in the back of our house.

The sunset, viewed from the back deck.

Brenton looking contemplative while Kevin and Karl look something up on the computer.

Competitive doubles in Wii tennis. Kevin and Karl lost. Twice.

This was our (totally awesome) pool, which had a swim-up tiki bar, built in hot tub area, and shallow sitting area.

Kelsey drew a starfish on the top crust of the pie for creative ventilation.

Kelsey making a strawberry rhubarb pie using fresh strawberries from the Grandy Greenhouse (on the way to the Outer Banks) and rhubarb from our market in Hudson Falls. We didn’t have a rolling pin so she had to use an empty beer bottle. Kevin was chopping onions and peppers for sausage sandwiches.

Kevin and Jill sharing a moment.

Karl, Brenton, and Ahmed passed out in the afternoon.

Kelsey was trying to stay out of the sun and heat, so finished a puzzle in a few hours.

This was the view from our back deck of the sound.

Kevin cutting up a honeydew. Apparently I look like my late Uncle Paul when I look over the rim of my glasses like this. We brought our super-sharp Global knives from home because the knives that they have at the beach houses usually suck.

The baby bump at 32 weeks. This photo was taken at the beach!

Our finished master bedroom, including our new bed, new curtains, and a new bedspread, which matches the wall color and the curtains.
