Happy Easter!

We enjoyed Easter 2007 at home this year. We went skiing the Friday and Saturday before and then drove home so we could wake up Easter morning at our house in South Berwick. We got so much snow in April we couldn't miss the awesome skiing! The kids found their baskets here in front of the fireplace. Benny was very excited once he figured out there was candy in the plastic eggs! Ben's scavenger hunt led him to a peanuts golf club set and a baseball glove.
Tristan is checking out his new books and movies. He also had a great time looking for the eggs all over the house and helping the little kids too. Tristan struggled with the last clue of his scavenger hunt but finally figured it out, with a little help, and discovered a new bat and a hit-a-way.Reid loved hunting for eggs. She just found one up on top of the molding of the door. Reid's scavenger hunt led her to a baseball glove and large coloring papers of Ariel and Belle.


We enjoyed a wonderful Easter dinner of ham, potatoes, carrots, asparagus and yeast rolls. I think we just finished off the candy from Easter 2 days ago!

Rangeley with the Devine's

Amelie, Nicole, and Sean came up to Rangeley for a ski weekend in the middle of March. Amelie's habit of sucking 2 fingers from one hand and placing another finger from the other hand in her belly button is fascinating to Reid and Ben. Reid is imitating this in the picture below. Ben also imitated Amelie's habit over the weekend too.


We got Amelie out on skis and she did great for a couple of runs. We then put the kids in daycare and the parents had fun skiing in beautiful snow and weather.

Matt's Travels

During the long Matt trips we try and go over to Amelie and Nicole's house for dinner and play time one night during the week. Usually Sean, Nicole's husband/Amelie's dad, is either traveling or working too so it's just Nicole and I and the kids. We order out dinner and let the kids run around the house. It's a good break for all of us. Ben gave up his Binkie not too long after this picture, but again this was on Nicole's camera so it's taken a while for me to get these pictures up here!

Santa picture.....a little late

We are very late with posting this picture with Santa. We went to see Santa in early December 2006 with Amelie and Nicole in downtown South Berwick. Of course Matt and I forgot to bring the camera but Nicole thankfully remembered hers. Unfortunately it took us this long to get the picture downloaded from Nicole's camera and onto our computer!!!! Thank you, Nicole! Ben didn't want anything to do with getting close to the big man with the red suit and thus is not in this picture.
