Port Washington

We had a really nice day today!  Nick got some yard work done while I got a little housework done and Ella had some tummy time.  Her head control just keeps getting better - plus her little expressions are just so cute!  I didn't quite capture it in the video but I'm sure my mom will enjoy it anyway ;)

Ella fell asleep while playing on Mommy and Daddy's bed today with Daddy.  I thought she looked like such a big girl here!  I just love her little chubby legs!

After dinner we took a sunset outing to Port Washington to walk on the pier.  It was a great evening and the breeze was very refreshing and Lake Michigan was beautiful - reminded me of home.

Sunset and marina behind us

Ella slept in her carrier the whole way.  I have tried out her carrier around the house but this was our first outing with it and it worked great!  I know Grandpa Boehm isn't a fan - but we would have never made it out on this rocky pier without it.

Beautiful view, calm lake

At the end of the windy pier

It was strange to realize that the sunset would not be over the lake, I still have a hard time remembering that in Wisconsin Lake Michigan is to the east since all my life Lake Michigan has been to the west.  I really struggle with directions here for that reason because it is engrained in my memory to say/think that the lake is to the west.

Port Washington has several charter fishing boats that dock there and when we got back to the marina one had just gotten back their catch, it was fun to see some of the bounty of the Great Lakes.

We are home now relaxing and watching some Olympic action!
