Kennebunkport, ME

My father-in-law, Skip turned 70 last month and to celebrate the whole family spent a weekend in Kennebunkport, ME.  It was a foggy and wet weekend but we still had a great time.   I love the photo of my 3 girls and my nephew  -  it's hard to get a good photo of the four of them together!   I also loved watching the birthday boy throw a football around with his 4 grandchildren.

*For the lobster lovers out there ... the Chowder House has a great lobster roll.

Seven

 At the end of March my beautiful daughter Olivia turned 7 years old. Where does the time go?  It's seem like just yesterday my brown eyed girl entered this world making me a mom for the second time.  

Project 2012 - Week 19

 Day 127 - Native Cape Codder's call new residents 'washashorer's'. We picked up our oldest daughter from Girl Scout Camp this morning (2 nights without mom and dad) .... and as you can see she is completely exhausted! This photo makes me think of the 'Little Mermaid' who after all was washed a shore.

 Day 128 - Can't help myself .... I love photographing dandelions!

 Day 129 - I raced from work to the Elementary School to gather my 16 Daisy Girl Scouts and walk the 2 blocks to the Harwich Fire Department for a tour. It was only when I reached the Fire Department that I remembered the camera that I left in my car back at the school. Anyways, it was a great afternoon for my scouts but I'm disappointed with myself for the missed photo op.

 Day 130 - And we've got rain again.

 Day 131 - The sun finally popped out this afternoon but this morning it was raining again. When I saw this dandelion it still had some drops of rain on it.

 Day 132 -  I was drawn to the colors on this boat.

Day 133 - My mood today ... need I say more?

Preschool

At the end of March I spent two days at my daughter's preschool photographing all the students.  I also photographed several groups of siblings as well as all the class group shots.  It was a lot of work ... my biggest job to date but it was well worth it!

Project 2012 - Week 18

 Day 120 - It was a great day for a parade ... my Girl Scout Troop along with several of our sister troops marched together in the Brewster in Bloom Parade (the parade theme was red, white and blue).

 Day 121 - A back yard beauty.

 Day 122 - I took this in between the days rain showers.

Day 123  -  I was over at a friends house this morning .... I just love her bird feeded that is attached to the front window. Every time that I've been there birds have been feeding.

Day 124 - I didn't have a lot of time for photos today - I took this on my car dash board as I was leaving one job and heading over to another.

 Day 125 - It was another rainy day on the Cape

Day 126 - In 2000 my husbands beloved Mater (grandmother) passed away - she was 90 years old, blind, strong willed and completely amazing. One woman enable Mater to live in the home that she loved on her own. That woman was - Faith - part time care taker - full time friend.
I had only meet Faith one time in 2000 ... that was until today. Faith (aka Juliette Gordan Low in honor of our Girl Scout Encampment) was able to meet 2 of Mater's great grand-daughters (my daughters).
*It's been a crazy year for my family -- we moved from Maryland to Massachettes in September and as fate would have it we're livng in Mater's house on the pond. We've meet some wonderful folks on Cape Cod but until today it didn't feel like home.
What makes this even more special... Mater was a Girl Scout (she joined in 1920) and she later became a leader/volunteer like Faith, myself and hopefully (in the future) like my daugthers.
