Packing Help

Moving is exhausting work, but with helpers this cute it can be fun too!

There is lots of maple sap this year!

Bringing it in the hard way...but it's so worth the effort!

All puffed up!

This evening we celebrated my aunt's and my birthdays together. Even if it's not his cake, my nephew loves to blow out candles, so we let him help. I think he had enough air! 

Celebrating these 2 together!

I got 'em!

Celebrating!

Visiting my favorite city this afternoon!

They're here!

Happy 4th Birthday

Teaching & Learning

They Call Him 'Coach'

But, I call him nephew...

This morning I saw a post on Facebook that said my nephew's team was going to be playing our Vikings lacrosse team. So, I told the migraine that I woke up with to 'go pound sand', and rallied enough to be a photographer for the morning. A couple of extra Excedrin never killed anyone, right? I would have hated missing that game! I was so glad to be there, soaking up sunshine, breathing in the fresh-cut grass smell from the ball-fields, and watching a vicious game of lacrosse.  He felt bad that I had to see him being angry with his team, but they lost so it was completely understandable. They have some tactics and skills that they need to work on, and I thought it was great to see him at work. He is very passionate about the game, (Always has been!) and it shows. Nothing wrong with that!

Happy Facebook Day!

He's 13 today!

This picture is from 2013, after the only race that he's run with me. So far. I keep hoping that he'll join me for another 'cause we had fun!

I hope you have a great birthday, and enjoy your new ventures into social media!!

The Adventurers & Me

Happy Birthday Aunt M

He gets very excited about blowing out the candles on the cake, and was quite concerned about whether or not she was going to do it right! He is such a character and so expressive. We all laughed so hard at his antics that we had tears streaming down our faces!

YUCK!!

Apparently the little guy didn't appreciate how she was very carefully and artistically applying the chocolate sauce to her plate of ice cream. What an expression!

Go BE swim team!

This evening we are cheering on my niece and nephew as they swim for the Scots!

Wall of Fame

He conquered the 20' tall warped wall at the Maine Warrior Gym last night!

Training Begins NOW

This afternoon they participated in a Parkour/street-running class and then Open Gym at this new facility that offers 'American Ninja Warrior' type obstacles (salmon ladder, warped wall, climbing, flipping, tricks, etc.) and training in Westbrook. They had a great time, or as my younger son told me, "It was the BEST time ever!"

Celebrating 3 today!

Celebrating 17 Years

Happy birthday!
