Miscellaneous Photos from Summer 2009
23 July 2009
Here’s the last batch of photos, so that means I’m all caught up. These are random photos from throughout the summer, from the end of school through today. When you go through them, make sure you read the captions (underneath the photos) to explain the “who – what – where … Read the rest⇒
Lizzie from Africa #3
23 July 2009
(More from Lizzie — who is Owen’s “godsister” — on her travels in Africa)
Yesterday we took the eight hour bus ride back to Lilongewe. They fill the buses to the limit. Many passengers stand in the aisle the full eight hours.
The ride is bumpy … Read the rest⇒
More from Lizzie in Africa…
21 July 2009
(Another update from our friend Lizzie in Africa. A bit of explanation, Lizzie is a trained art therapist, so she’s over there to work with children for a few weeks.)
Hi all,
We are now in Kande Beach (I know last time I spelled it Candy, silly American) Since I … Read the rest⇒
Lizzie in Africa
17 July 2009
Our dear friend Lizzie is spending some time in Malawi, helping a friend of hers who is working over there.
She’s been gone about two weeks, and we’ve been talking about her everyday and wondering what she is doing and how it is going. We got our first update report … Read the rest⇒
Rice Farmers?
5 June 2009
Kevin has been working hard to try to grow grass around the pool after all the construction last year.
There are a couple of really low spots that he’s struggling with.
After all the rain we’ve had, Jack looked out the window this morning at the puddles in the yard … Read the rest⇒
I washed my dustpan today…
22 November 2008
I washed my dustpan today. I actually moved furniture (with Kevin and Jack’s help and Fiona’s “help”) and swept and swiffered underneath. As I was putting my dustpan away, I realized that it was very dirty (DUH, you use it to collect dirt).
So, I washed it. It looks nice.… Read the rest⇒
Trees, anyone?
29 October 2008
Jack’s soccer team, the Solebury Storm (under 11 boys), is selling trees as a fundraiser.
You can get your very own 6′ tall maple or sweet gum tree for $30. Better yet, get your tree a friend and buy TWO for $50.
Delivery in Solebury, just let me know.
Look … Read the rest⇒
For Fiona and all the girls out there (Edited to add another video)

Our pool is underway!!
18 April 2008
Sort of unexpectedly, the pool company called late yesterday (after 5 PM) and said they had an excavation team that could work today, did we want them? YES!
So, three men and one yellow digger (backhoe? front-end loader?) spent the day digging a giant hole in our yard. Rebar, plumbing … Read the rest⇒
Rebecca & Adam
6 January 2008
Our dear friends Rebecca & Adam got married Friday night and it was PERFECT!! Becca was a beautiful bride and Adam was a storybook prince charming. Everything was magical.
Unfortunately, my photos were less-than-wonderful (I’m a much better sports photographer than wedding photographer), so I’m looking forward to … Read the rest⇒

Happy New Year!
A couple of new photo albums:
Christmas portraits (in an effort to get just one for a Christmas card)
Wrestling Tournament in Bristol, CT (both Jack & Owen won their divisions)
What is it about spiders?
19 December 2007
OK. Our house is in the middle of what used to be a farm field. So I’m not surprised that we get a lot of bugs. I kill spiders every day. But what creeps me out is that EVERY single spider I kill (euphemism: get rid of) is … Read the rest⇒
