Charles and Missy

Our life revolves around kids and sweet little kitties like Charles.

Can't Get Much Better Than This!

What a day! What is better than being on the water and getting views like this? These are memories we hope our children will carry with them for a long, long time.

Reunited with My Past

I am not an architect, but this is quite a building.

Log Rolling Lessons 2007

My boys have a GREAT time taking Log Rolling lessons at the site of the "Great Maine Lumberjack Show" with Timber Tina.

Max

This photo suggests that Maxie has quite a life and rules the roost. Maxie and I vie for my husband's attention-guess who wins!

Gone Fishin'-Not Yet

My husband tinkers with all the fishing gear just like his dad did-spending the majority of time tinkering. Is that the way of the fisherman?!

Good Morning

Here is our "alarm clock" at camp. 4:30 am is a bit too early for me!

Early Morning

Bull frogs and woodpeckers prompted this early morning (4:30) photo at camp. Nature beckons. Just think we could have missed this amazing display!

My Boy

I
Goofing around with the camera produced this gem. What a face!!! Cute.

Camp

The passage of time is measured at camp by the number of Yahtzee games that can be played while your bathing suit dries out.

This photo is bittersweet. Grammy and Grampy used to sit at this table overlooking the lake and the mountains and battle through afternoons of Yahtzee. Due to Grammy's condition, she is no longer able to play and shows little interest in the pleasures she used to enjoy. She is content to sit. Silent...

Late Morning

This shot was taken on one of my favorite hikes in Acadia...Great Head. Each time I venture on this trail, I am reminded by the peaceful hike I took with my dog Shiloh on September 10, 2001. Vividly, I remember sitting on the mountain in the late afternoon light meditating on the blessings of life and feeling serenely content. Perhaps this marked the beginning of a long journey to live purposefully counting the many bounties of my life. Reminders never hurt.

The Power of Cousins

Graduation celebrations have brought the family together several times over the last few weeks. How precious these times are.
