On Sunday we visited Reid State Park, near Bath, for the very first time. It was strikingly beautiful and we were wonderfully entertained, even though our feet went numb from standing in the surf for too long. Apparently a faraway hurricane was causing some abnormally large waves, which was very, verythrilling for our two little excitement…

What does one do in Maine on a September Saturday when it's in the low 70's? One heads to the beach, of course! It was high tide, and the beach was about two feet wide, which was hilarious and wonderful all at once. The girls made ice cream cones and swam with their boogie boards.…

We had a wonderful, busy, sunny weekend and I can honestly say we were able to wring every last drop out of this amazing summer. The girls seem ready for school to start back up again (tomorrow!), but I'm not. I'm going to miss those two.

We had a wonderful, relaxing, fun vacation. In fact, there were so many wonderful moments worth recording that I filled up the memory card in my camera. For the first time ever, I had to keep deleting photos so that I could take more. So, dear blog readers, it will take some time, but I'll…

Penny is settling in very nicely with us. She is happy and playful and follows us around. Grace and Tess argue about who gets to feed her, and they both shower her with love. We recently took her on her first hike, and she was a joy to bring along. She loves every dog and…

Yesterday, we let them eat s'mores in their pajamas. Right before bed. What were we thinking? [And another question: Why are they wearing their flannel chicken pajamas? In August?]

Last weekend, on my birthday, we went boating with friends of ours. It was a picturesque day, and we stopped at an island to do some exploring. This made us hungry, of course, so after the boat ride we stopped at Toots and ate hot fudge sundaes for lunch. Seriously, could a birthday in Maine…

We spent the last weekend in July with our good friends who were visiting Cape Cod. We hung out at the beach, ate fresh lobster, watched a show (Tess made music by blowing bubbles in her milk, while Grace and Jackson blew on bottles), and just enjoyed each other's company. It's nice having friends.

This is sweet Penny, our "new" dog. She's a rescue from Louisiana, driven up to Maine with nine other dogs who had all been cared for by the same generous foster mother. Penny was a stray and had heartworms and ear mites when she was found. They said that she's a dachshund/terrier mix, but our…

If you've been to my house lately, say in the past three years, you may have noticed a few million pieces of child artwork scattered around. Our fridge is plastered with drawings and hand-painted magnets. There are piles of artwork in the loft, the guest room, the master bedroom, and even on the poor little…
