Tea Party

It was a perfect day for a tea party! And yes, that is a little chocolate cake up Celia's nose, but she did keep her pinkie lifted while she was eating it!

Maine!

Just sitting here thinking of the places I most love: my garden, sitting on the edge of any body of water, Wellfleet, Loon, and most vividly I picture Raymond Maine.

Soooo looking forward to our upcoming WEEKEND. Thanks for giving me such a beautiful place to dwell upon and look forward to visiting.
Love ya,

Judy

Mark woke up from a big nap yesterday STARVING and SCREAMING, trying to eat his fist. When I returned from making his bottle (flustered from rushing) he was grinning at Katie. I asked her why and she said "I just sang him a song about how special he is and how much we love him." When I asked her where she learned the song, she told me her heart told it to her.

Dave got the girls out of bed last night to see a rainbow. (Yes, they go to bed while it is still light outside) Becca burst out of bed at first light this morning to tell me how BEAUTIFUL it was - dancing on her toes and grinning ear to ear as she described it in detail.

I feel soo lucky!

Operation Orlando

All Lovin' the 4th!

Katie caught her first fish on her new Barbie fishing pole (which not only is pink, but lights up when you cast)! A 2 pounds 10 ounce large mouth bass. Later in the day she cheerfully shouted from the canoe "I caught my first fish today!" to anyone close enough to hear.
