Camera Funny Business

Posted on September 25, 2006

So I was downloading pictures from our time at the Taste of the North Country off the camera the other night. I thought I had downloaded all of the pictures from Mom and Abbie’s visit and stored them in a special folder. Imagine my surprise when I found a dozen odd pictures I had no idea existed. They were taken in the big room in the back of our house. It’s where Briar goes to listen to music very loud and “feen”, which means ‘spin.’ Sean and I often surprise each other as whoever is not on Briar duty pops their head into the room and sees mad dancing, rapid spinning or crazy chase antics going on…better than a gym membership.

Posted on September 25, 2006

It’s My Blog

Posted on September 24, 2006

…and I’ll shamelessly post photos of myself and the girls if I want to. So it’s been a while…thanks Pop. I actually loved hearing that someone missed my entries. I apologize you suffered not seeing your girls. We’re back! Not sure what happened, but I’ll not waste another minute wondering about it. We have made two trips to Gore for the gondola ride and both times had huge amounts of fun. Briar absolutely loves gathering rocks and sticks. Avery loves just about everything. She is so easy to be around. Strap me in the Baby Bjorn? Sure. Bounce me on your knee? Ok. Cradle me in your arms? N’kay. Prop me on a cushion while you vacuum? Absolutely. The only condition is that you…
