Hey Guys! It’s been a busy spring for us so far and it’s not going to relent anytime soon (it’s me, parenthetical Kerry, by the way). I’m leaving tomorrow morning to go for a 4 day, 3 night excursion with my Son Dylan’s 6th grade class. That’s right, 4 days, 3 nights, 20+ 6th graders… pray for me. We’re going to be visiting Portland Maine, Boothbay Harbor and Acadia Nat’l Park. Gonna stay in hotels with pools and feasting on lobster, so I’m told (how come they never had trips like this when I was in school?!). We actually just got back from Portland, where we attended our 3 day Bible convention. It was stupendous and we got to see a lot of friends we haven’t seen in a while. We took the kids out for their first ever visit to an authentic indian restaurant in the Old Port, the “Hi Bombay,” which I like to say in a conversational tone as if I hadn’t seen Bombay in quite a while. Our waiter was cool and the food was great. We walked around the Old Port’s cobblestoned streets afterwards. Gotta love the Old Port. We didn’t take very many pics ’cause it just wasn’t that kind of a trip, but here’s a few that were fun…
My dah’lins (as our friend Richard would say).
Dylan was all about the pool…as any self-respecting 12 year old would be.
Meet Dylan “The Frog” Struble…
This is Taylor’s Cousin Allison’s Husband Chris and thier soon-to-be middle Son (just kidding!) Quinn. Doesn’t he so look like a Quinn?
Quinn rockin’ the snap-brim!
Oh yeah, here’s my crazy Nephew Alex!
See ya next time! -k
Though, now that you’re all used to Kerry’s charm, wit, and gloriously superfluous use of parentheses…I hope I don’t disappoint! A few weeks ago, my friend Shannon of Jetsam Designs asked me to photograph some of her jewelry..a task I happily accepted as I haven’t had much opportunity to work with jewelry and her stuff is so beautiful! Her designs are earthy and natural, and many of her pieces feature little sea treasures like shells and sand dollars, it’s pretty fantastic! So, I went through the house searching for things I could use as a backdrop and I ended up with beach rocks, curly willow, a green scarf, and sweet grass, to name a few.
