Minnie

I have been told that I need to update my blog. So, I will start with our new kitten. We decided to call her Minnie for several reasons: she is only 1 pound 1 ounce, she has a M on her forehead, and we love Minnie Mouse. She may be small but she has a huge personality. Pretty cute!

Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009!

I love new beginnings, fresh starts, making lists and resolutions, so it's no wonder I adore the start of a brand new year. I'm eagerly looking forward to all that 2009 has to bring and sharing that all here with you. Happy 2009!

Welcome Christmas Eve...

Can you believe that Christmas is finally here??? My how fast this month and year went. Billy and Brooke are counting down the hours, and the torture is killing them! Was I really like this as a kid? Not being able to wait just one more day to see if Santa came.

Well I have enjoyed this time off with the kids. We have been busy with decorating and craft projects. The kids had fun decorating a gingerbread house and train.

We are off to church tonight to celebrate Christ's birth with a Candlelight Service. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas Eve. Love to you all!

The Louisville Zoo

Just another installment of pictures from our Summer. These were taken when Kristi, Gavin and Renna came, before we made our way back to Maine. A trip to the zoo always makes for a fun day!

Happy Birthday SaRenna

My niece SaRenna turned 6 yesterday. I hope you had a wonderful Birthday. I was lucky to spend a good part of my Summer with her and she has grown into such a beautiful, sweet girl. I miss you sweetie, but will see you in about 9 days. Love you

The start of another school year

My baby girl is gone... to school all day! She headed off to 1st grade yesterday. I sure will miss having her home half the day. I love this picture of her in her new uniform, this is our new school plaid. I was so proud of her; she had a great first day! Today she came home and said "Mommy, Mrs. K smiles at me a lot".
I was not able to get a picture of Billy because my camera died, so I will post a picture of him soon. Billy is in the 3rd grade! This will be his first year of Latin and Literature and also Study Hall. He has Miss Roberts and he seems to like her.

This is a scrapbook page that I finished today of last year's 1st day of school pictures. It is amazing how much they have changed in a year's time.

A fun day at the beach

We had such great fun at the beach. The kid's played in the water and the sand for hours. These pictures were taken on one of many trips to York Beach.
