Sadie's Snow Day

It doesn't look like a lot from the pictures but we had some SNOW today; more snow than I had seen in three years. Sadie sat looking out the window this morning, eagerly, waiting for her walk. She was so excited about the snow that she tried to catch the flakes in her mouth. HILARIOUS to watch!



I can't believe that on my day off I get excited to see my dog play in the snow. What has happened to me?

SNOW???

Could it be winter already? What is this white stuff all over the place and why is it here in October?




Ryan and I took a little hike up Mt. Cardigan today and found that we couldn't make it to the top because it was to icy:( Sadie loved it and she slipped all the way down the mountain. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to slide all over the place and not hurt yourself?




I wonder what the temperature is in NC...?

No More Wood Paneling

<
The day has come where the wood paneling has been removed from my home. It is such a satisfying accomplishment. We had some special helpers this weekend with the job. Jeff, Keena, Matthew and Luke were here to visit and, of course, we put them to work. Jeff put down a new floor in our mudroom while Ryan and Matthew tackled the wood panels. He was such a big helper; Ryan couldn't have done it without him.

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.
