Beach Portrait

Now that the warm weather is upon us here in the state, the No Vacancy signs have sprung up all along Route 1 motels and beyond. My sister arrived last week from Florida and brought her children, so pull out the Garmin and let the fun begin. The Eastern Prom to watch a softball game, Willard Beach to take in some sun, Ft. Williams for a picnic, up to Turner for a day with old friends, a evening at Ken's Place for fried clams, a cook-out at our place, fun chasing our cats around the house, their first experience handling a BB gun(safely), going to the family cemetery plot at St. Hyacinth's, a DQ trip, and a playground visit to name a few... these first days back in Maine were well packed. Coming up? I hear this week could include Popham Beach and a trip to 'the farm' in Lisbon. If you ask me, they better include a good dose of something called-- SLEEP! I think this portrait, after a day at the beach, shows the siblings' different personalities well-- the pensive one and the 'model' who's ready for anything. They get along extremely well together and are indeed each others' best buds!

  6. Wonder photo of two really great kids, and a superb extension to a supportive and loving family. You are all very blessed, because nothing means more or will mean more than the bonds you all you have grown up with and continue to foster one generation at a time.
