Guess Who's Having Another Baby?

Not me...

My little brother Zac and his wife Stephanie. Yay!

Doesn't Henry look like Dave? I wanted to scan more pictures, but my printer is acting weird.

For Stacey

I like these pictures Stacey sent me. Enjoy ~

My new business... more to come.

Mr. Henry went to the Dr. yesterday. He is doing fabulously. He is average with height and weight for his age. He is advanced as far as his awareness and alertness. Of course, he's absolutely perfect! Side note- I love the new Dr. I chose. She's in Damariscotta. Her office is beautiful, she's wonderful and they give Henry a book for each visit. When the nurse brought us to the room and checked Henry's vitals she was so impressed with him. She couldn't believe how alert and interactive he is. She went out to get other nurses to come see him. She couldn't believe he is only two months old! I was so proud! The Dr. said the same thing when she came in. He gained about 6 lbs and grew 4 inches! He's changing everyday.

We have many changes coming. We sold our house and are moving to Hope to a beautiful spot on Hobbs Pond for the summer thanks to Molly's friend Teresa. We are really looking forward to that. We want to rent because we are not sure if we're staying in Maine if our business sells. Dave would really like to move back to Maryland, but the job market just isn't there at this moment. So we are waiting on selling and jobs. On that note, I am starting a new business. It's web based and I should be launching it late June early July. It's an insider's online guide, resource and interactive map of Maine businesses and Maine points of interest. Little Harbor Technology has been building the website and I love it!! I am looking for commissioned sales people and members to join. I can't wait to get it up and running.

Isaiah 49:15-16a

15"Can a woman forget her nursing child
And have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget, but I will not forget you.
16"Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;

A.W. Tozer Quote

The Church is constantly being tempted to accept this world as her home... but if she is wise she will consider that she stands in the valley between the mountain peaks of eternity past and eternity to come. The past is gone forever and the present is passing as swift as the shadow on the sundial of Ahaz. Even if the earth should continue a million years not one of us could stay to enjoy it. We do well to think of the long tomorrow.

Birthday Party, Cousins & More

We had a birthday party for my grandfather (73 May 21), me (32 May 23) and my cousin Annie (23 May 27) on Sunday evening. I got a couple shots of my mom's grandchildren Henry and Teagan and my grandparents' great-grandchildren Teagan, Nevaeh, and Henry. Unfortunately Teagan and Henry took turns bawling, so it wasn't easy to say the least. It didn't last long. Maybe Annie got better shots.
