It may be eleven years old, but this sweet baby blanket is still doing its job keeping us warm.

Friday night Minecraft shenanigans.

She’s my constant companion, especially when big sister is otherwise occupied. I just can’t get enough of her little face and funny teeth and shining, lovely personality. We had a lovely walk on the trail today and I never want these days to end.

It’s been a year since they have seen each other. Not that we could tell!

This kid was eagerly awaiting her woodworking class at Girls at Work, Inc. today. I’m pretty sure she liked it, as the first words to me as she came out were, “when can I come and do this again?!?” They made Shaker Peg boards and C is quite proud of her handiwork. We have so many interesting opportunities that come our way, but sometimes we come across something that is just so right. I love that.

I’m so in love with these three who tried really hard to snap a Christmas photo that fit all of my wildly conceived criteria. I’m not sure we got the photo that I was imagining, but they were all adorable troopers.

Visited a lovely little yarn shop in Maine today. I wanted to buy one (or more!) of everything, but had to restrain myself. Pretty sure I touched all the yarns, though.

Replacing the bulkhead door is not the most exciting of home improvement projects, but it was one that desperately needed doing. Many thanks to Dad for building these new doors, to the girls (and Grandpa) for painting them, and to me for, um… choosing the color. A true team effort!

Frolicking by the shore in Marblehead. She dances everywhere she goes.
