Soccer Mom

Yup, that's me, I guess. Mikayla is now on the MA Lynx soccer team as a high school freshman. Preseason has started and she has had practice doubles all week ending with a tournament round robin tomorrow in Bangor. Lee Rand snapped a bunch of pictures of preseason practices and sent us a few with Mikayla in them. So here they are.

Alana will be playing with the third and fourth grade rec. team and Nate for the Jr. High. I plan to snap some pics of them when they start and will post them. I just know I'm going to go crazy running them all over the place this Fall, but since their Dad was a soccer player and coach, he figures that his kids all need to play too, so here we go. At least he has promised to help run them around when he can, and it is very good exercise. Plus, I needed something to call PE for our homeschool. This works.

Happy Anniversary, Babe!

Sixteen years! How is that possible?! We are more in love now than at the beginning. What a blessing! We didn't have the funds to do our usual trip to the coast for a lobster dinner this year, so we bought some fresh hard shells locally, and cooked them over the wood fire at camp. Lobster, corn on the cob, and baked potatoes. YUMMO! Anyway, the kids had fun taking pics of the lobster before their demise. ;}

Summer Fun 2009

This has not been the best of summers for more reasons than one, and such a rainy summer we have had here in Maine! I determined once some warm weather finally showed up( in August!!! Just so wrong on so many levels!) to get some good times in. We were finally able to enjoy our beloved cabin, and spent some of last week out there. We plan on being there some this week, as well. We just have to squeeze some summer fun and relaxation in before school, youth groups, and other programs start up. Next week will be full of school planning and reorganizing here at the house, and then we start on the 24th, so it's now or never. Here are some pics of our time at our cabin and our time spent with our friends the Temples and the Clays at the Clays cabin.
