funky woods

I love it when the Woods ask me to take their family pictures. Angi has such a cool style and always has all kinds of ideas....and Randal is about the best, most cooperative, easy going, not annoyed dad/husband I've ever photographed. And, that little Addi, wow, what personality. baby asher and woods-4602 sunshinebaby asher and woods-4714 vintage

And I love that they don't mind that I play around with pretty funky editing techniques. baby asher and woods-4458 baby asher and woods-4499 baby asher and woods-4465-2 baby asher and woods-4475 seventies baby asher and woods-4530-2 baby asher and woods-4538 baby asher and woods-4545 baby asher and woods-4615-2 baby asher and woods-4635 baby asher and woods-4675 baby asher and woods-4688 baby asher and woods-4693 sunshine baby asher and woods-4698-3

baby in sink

 

Here’s a little preview for all you family members who get to see Emmeline in the next week or so.  Get excited.  She is the charmer of all charmers.  I can’t believe how much I love this kid.  She is just a bundle of awesomeness.  I can’t get enough of her cheeks, her expression, her rolly polly body.  plum island summer-5710-2And I can’t believe that I have a little person, a little person who came out of me and now sits in my kitchen sink.   plum island summer-5617 plum island summer-5621 plum island summer-5629 plum island summer-5643 plum island summer-5660Take a good look at that Mohawk.  It’s got to be chopped off, it’s getting a little scary looking.   plum island summer-5666  plum island summer-5669-2 plum island summer-5678 plum island summer-5681 plum island summer-5685   plum island summer-5694   plum island summer-5703-2 plum island summer-5706  Wow!

pictures I've been meaning to post

I am so far behind on posting blog pictures.....and now it overwealms me so much that I just try to procrastinate it all away....which isn't working. I've decided instead, I should just get them up there. No witty commentary, no great writing, just documentaiton of what we've been up to. So here goes, get ready for a stream of them over the next little bit.

Uncle Tal has made quite a number of surprise visits the past few months. The kids are always more than delighted. He calles them "puppies" and "taco" and takes them to Pine Banks Park for adventure. And, best of all for Charlie, he always brings some wicked cool tools and let's charlie hold them and drool over them (litterally).bar harbor-0316We have a favorite ice cream joint just down the road (the "cow place" as Charlie likes to call it. During the spring (when the weather was better than it is now....sad, I know) we went there whenever it was warm enough to roll down the windows. One small bowl, two sugar cones and a spoon to split it up. I'm a really cheap mom. I don't think they know that they could have anythign different....ignorance is bliss.bar harbor-0331

We do go to the library, sometimes.....I wish more often. I love this sculpture, adn the kids do to. bar harbor-0333 Here we are at the 'cow place' again....a shumway family biking adventure. Even though it is less than a mile away from home, going via bike felt very adventureous.....and a little dangerous. Dont' know if we'll be doing that again. bar harbor-0372

one beautiful day

plum island summer-5476

Last week we FINALLY got a beautiful day after rain and rain and more rain and a ten day forecast full of rain.  It sure felt good to feel some heat, see some blue, squint our eyes.  And of course, go to the beach.  We were there for hours and hours and loved every minute of it (except the getting to and from the car part….I always hate the part, but it’s soooo worth it).plum island summer-5387plum island summer-5412Emmeline LOVED the sand.  After trying to eat it a bit and deciding that it wasn’t too tasty she just crawled around and practiced her pincer grip.  I loved it, all the fun of toys with nothing but a sandy baby to clean up.  plum island summer-5381plum island summer-5438She also loved crewing around after her big friend Audra who she idolized almost as much as Charlie idolized Audra’s big brother Landon. plum island summer-5436plum island summer-5490plum island summer-5456plum island summer-5403  plum island summer-5414This is Emmeline’s new face.  Imagine her breathing really loudly in and out through her nose while doing it.  She does this all the time, I’m not sure what she’s saying by it, but always seems pretty pleased when she does it.   plum island summer-5419 plum island summer-5429 plum island summer-5459 plum island summer-5463   plum island summer-5543 plum island summer-5551 plum island summer-5566 plum island summer-5571 plum island summer-5574 Charlie couldn't get enough of following poor Landon around.  It’s hard to be so cool, you’ve got to have these little guys try to act big and drool over your every move. plum island summer-5578 plum island summer-5579 plum island summer-5602 plum island summer-5610Here’s Hazel, taking a picture of the day with her brain as we were leaving.  She said, mom, I didn’t bring my camera, so I’ve got to take a picture with my brain, the proceeded to tap her head and make clicking sounds as she looked around, smelled, drank it all in.  I’m sure she wishes I’d take more pictures with my brain and less with my camera……you are absolutely right little Haze, but I don’t think my brain is quite as good as yours anymore….I need some real pictures or I’ll forget.  She made me think I should try to take some more brain pictures though.   plum island summer-5611
