This is a test!

I subscribed to my own blog!  I used that little "enter your email address" to the left.  SO, now I am just testing to see it if I get a notification that it works.  These little things are just so fun!! :D

So, maybe I'll add a picture so this post isn't too boring!  Is anyone else tired of all the snow we have been getting?  I was thinking earlier that I can't remember a winter when I haven't seen the ground for a stretch as long as this.  We usually get a snowfall in December and it melts.  Not this year!  Its beautiful for sure....but spring fever is really kicking in over here!

Fall in Maine!

I think that fall has to be one of my favorite seasons!  We had a pretty dry summer and fall so far and I was worried that the fall foliage wouldn't be bright and vibrant this year.  I am so glad, though, that foliage season is just as beautiful as ever!  I was leaving Scarborough beach from a family session tonight and happened to see the foliage reflecting in the water.  I HAD to stop and get a quick snapshot of it for my friend in Baton Rouge who doesn't get much of a fall!  Here is one for you, Kelly!

Peace interrupted

But that's okay...its a nice interruption!

Peace

You may not know this about me, but but I have a favorite word...it is peace.  Simply peace.  Its 8:09 a.m. and my husband is at work, my oldest daughter is off to school and my 3 year old is still sleeping.  I can smell my coffee brewing (it can't get done soon enough) and I have a little computer time! I never thought I'd value peace, quiet and alone time as much as I do now! Don't get me wrong...family time is great and I wouldn't trade it....but boy, when the only sound I hear is the coffee maker bubbling away in the kitchen it makes for one happy ME! Its almost October, right? Not too soon to break out my favorite Halloween mug....the kids have, afterall, dragged out a huge box of Halloween stuff that is going to clutter my house until nearly Thanksgiving because they love them so much stuff, so here's my contribution....

Preschool

How is it possible that my Chloe has started preschool?  We found a great afternoon preschool program with a Reggio Amelia approach.  Chloe will get to participate in all sorts of enriching activities including: art, music, Spanish, yoga and literature...she's already having so much fun!  Here are a few snapshots andI grabbed as we were leaving for her first day (snapshots meaning the color is off, they are probably blurry and Chloe wanted to pose! but, they are her and I love them!):

Bathroom and Closet

We now have rafters, a framed in bathroom and closet and a landing!

The bathroom is on the left and closet on the right. 

In this picture you can see the stairs, railing and two main shooting areas.

First Studio (snap)shots

I brought my girls up to play!!

And this one just because it shows how much big sis is looked up to!

Need Some Warmth?

These photos were taken in a beautiful location on a beautifully, WARM day!  Here are some photos little "B"

Latest Progress

We are at the point where the buiders are finished their job.  Now comes OUR turn...roofing, insulating, sheetrocking...boy, my husband is going to be busy!  ;o)
