Hi All. It's not that I've been busy, so much as lazy....Sorry to be behind in blog updates. We finally finished construction on our basement in February and we are all moved in. The girls have a playroom, and we finally have a den and office. Ahhhh......The rest of the house went back together rather nicely too. Who knew kids could come with so much stuff?! Brian is still sad there is no space for a man room. I've offered him the attic, a shed, or even the pursuit of an addition but he just shakes his head. "Why?", you ask...Well, the insurance company has been riding us for the last year to paint the house in Maine. We are out of options and out of insurance companies. So, we are taking the plunge. Yeah paint! The job is to start in July and will probably do a world of good. Who knows??? Maybe we can finally sell the place. It's only been on the market 3 1/2 years.

















On to lighter things....Our little town offers a skating rink that has a warming hut and serves hot cocoa. How quaint. We took Maddie and Hannah down to give it a whirl. Check out the pics.
