boating

this is the first picture we took with our whole family since maddie was born.  i love it for a couple reasons.  i love that we squeezed our two week old baby into a lifejacket.  and i love that after sitting on the boat as a spectator all summer, i was finally able to waterski myself before the season ended.  i love that benj loves being on the boat and i love that our family has bonded and created so many wonderful memories being confined in that small space where you are just forced to be close.  i love boating.
