Angel Stories

April 5, 2010

Do you believe in angels?  I definitely do.  I know it may seem far fetched to some, but, I’ve heard too many stories and seen too many things to deny that there is a Higher Power, and she/he has quite a few helpers. Just take this story for example.  Now I can’t say for sure, [...]

The History of the Crayon

March 27, 2010

I was sitting on the floor playing with O. yesterday when he got a hold of a box of crayons.  He had a wonderful time with all of the colors, and kept them out of his mouth…mostly. It all got me wondering though, how did the crayon come about?  When was it invented, and how?? [...]

Is This Really March in Maine?

March 21, 2010

For at least the last 2 weeks it’s been in the 50s – yesterday it was in the 60s.  All the snow has been gone for awhile because we had a really big rain in February that melted it all, and then, of course, with all this warmth we haven’t gotten any more snow. Actually, [...]

Losing the Baby Weight

March 8, 2010

So O. will be 11 months old soon, and, I’m getting back to myself.  I feel pretty good.  I exercise every day (mostly) and fit back into my pre-pregnancy clothes.  But, my belly really does look like it’s been stretched to the moon and back three times! To me that’s partially a badge of honor [...]

Speaking of Photography, Have you Heard of HDR yet?

February 24, 2010

Like I said in the previous post, looking at our past photos has not only been a fun walk down memory lane.  The process has also made me realize that we have a pretty crappy camera right now, and, because of that, we don’t take nearly the amount of pictures we used to take. On [...]

More Photographs From Our “Archives”

February 23, 2010

Take a look.  Here are a few more photos from our massive collection.  We used to really enjoy taking pictures, unfortunately, our camera we have currently doesn’t take good pictures at all.  It’s OK, but not what I’d really like to have.  After looking through all of these pictures, I’ve realized it’s time to start [...]
