Welcome Luna Cream Pie!

My brother and sister-in-law have a new addition to their family. Welcome little one. You are so cute and I can't wait to meet you.

A Special Birthday

Sunday was my mothers....39th (wink wink) birthday. YEA!!! We had a great time going out to lunch and then to my aunts for cake and ice cream. The weather was FANTASTIC and we were able to enjoy the outside before the deck furniture gets put away for the winter.




And you all wondered where my craziness for purses came from:).

Beach Fun

We spent a wonderful time at the beach this weekend. Even though Ryan and I had both just finished working all night we were determined to get to the beach and enjoy the beautiful weather while we had it. Saturday was FANTASTIC! Sunday was rainy and cold, but Ry and I made the best of it by going to Freeport and replenishing our collection of New England weather wear.

I had to drive back to Lebanon on Monday for class in the morning but headed right back to Maine for Monday afternoon and Tuesday.

THEN... on Tuesday we were the proud babysitters of a ONE Luke Couser Corriveau. So adorable and so good. He slept, ate and slept some more. We even took him shopping in Kittery and Portsmouth. (I knew he would take after his Aunt Jenn and be a good shopper:).

Overall, I give the weekend a 10!

I think that Matthew did too.



AND Luke.



AND Sadie too.

So Cute

I spoke to my good friend in NC today and she sent me some new pictures of her daughter, Aerin. I think that she is just so cute and I had to share this one picture. It made me smile so I thought that I should share the joy.

We miss you guys so much and hope to see you soon.

Oh, what a day

So... Ryan and I planned a little day trip to the big city of Salem today to pick up my much desired living room rug. I have been planning to get this rug for a long time and I actually received a coupon in the mail for new time home owners and I was planning on using the coupon for the rug. The only catch is, of course there is always a catch, that you have to use the coupon in the store. So, Salem here we come.

Ryan thought that while we were going south that we would stop in Manchester to look at cars at the AUTO FAIR. We are in desperate need of a new car since Ryan's car is considered out "reliable car" and it is now crapping out on us. We are looking at Ford Edge and Ford Escape. I wanted to drive them both to see which one I liked better. So...after a long afternoon with a VERY aggressive sales person and a deal we could not refuse and to make a really long story short we are now the proud owners of a brand new Ford Escape. I love it!

Plus, the rug fit so much better in the Escape than it would have in the Focus.

It's finally done...for now.

Yes, Oh yes. The nightmare of what was our little home renovation is finally over. One full, very exciting and crunched week of painters, and flooring people have come and gone leaving their mark on our not so 1970's home now. YEA!! We do not have any pictures yet because moving our stuff back in may take some time. I would like to put things in place and not just throw them in where they can fit. I have boxes of things that I haven't seen since NC and I don't even know if I should open them or just throw them away because I OBVIOUSLY haven't needed them.

We had out first visitor's this weekend and LOVED IT!! Thanks to Jeff for helping do a LOT of things to finish stuff up. It is true that not only is Jeff the grill master he may also be the saw master:) We loved seeing Keena, Matthew and Luke and hope that they come back soon!

Sadie's New Friends

Yesterday, Sadie went for a hike with her new buddies, Fin and Cody!

Some of my fellow nurses at DHMC wanted to get together and have a "puppy play date." Sadie, of course, was ALL over the place and WAY too excited. They actually played very well together but needed to be separated later in the night just for our own sanity. I am very happy that Sadie has made new friends because I was afraid that she was going to miss her dog park friends in NC.

Sadie says, "I love New Hampshire!"
