We celebrated Christmas, on Christmas Eve morning and here is a photo with Milo and his new pal, brown horse. He really enjoyed it! The best part, he played with each thing as he opened it for a godd five minutes. It took a while to get through his loot, but it was worth it. Now when he sees wrapped presents at people's houses he is all over it! What fun! I am working on him saying, "God Bless us Everyone!" before the New Year. We shall see what happens...
In Philly till next Tuesday, the fun has already begun.....

I think Milo might get excited for Christmas this year. You never know with kids though. This is Milos best friend Hannah. Every times she sees milo she screams, Mymo! Mymo! Its the best name for him so far, so change your Christmas card to Mymo please.......

LL all the way
Heys Kids! Did you know that the LL in LL Bean stands for Leon Leonwood Bean? Well now you do, aren't you happy you came to visit our BLog. Its nice to be able to give valuable information like that. I hope you enjoyed it! like fried chicken.
Before I forget, want to give a shout-out to Soccergirl for listing us as her newest and most elite contact on Flickr. Big ups, Soccergirl.
Sad to report that Chris is ill, and he is home with Milo, who is bouncing off the walls while I toil away the hours at work.
We are looking forward to our holiday trip to PHILADELPHIA, but not the actual drive. The BIG excitement of our lives, besides Milo saying HI and BYE all the time, is the chance to see HARRY POTTER on the IMAX!!!!! WooHOOO! Can't wait to see everyone over Thanksgiving!
ciao

YOOO HOOO!
Well the year is coming to a close. The weather is starting to turn very cold. We haven't had any snow yet, but it can happen any time. IM excited to start a regular Video blog now along with the daily photos of Milo. I don't know if any of you remember the Web cast we did a year or two back, this will be a much improved version. The video will be on the short side, mostly due to cost (and Milo free time) I'll see how much I can do before he wakes up!

Happy Holloween! Chris and Jenna both wooped it up this year, Jenna's costume was clever and sexy, Mine was a bad pun. This is a photo of Kevins better half Jess. I belive she won every prize for the party.... (well she did host it.) But I could be wrong. .....
A tree getting Hugged in the park
We had a little chill for a week or two. Milo was out in force, to hit the streets of portland. The best thing about winter here in Maine is that he gets to wear a lot of Hats!!!

hedgehog, indian, pumpkin & sailor
The Second Annual Little Halloweeners Afternoon Masquerade went off without a hitch, this past Thursday. Many a character was present, even Grandma from the Big Bad Wolf made an appearance. There were many witchy Moms and one excellent chef Dad. Chris was a star among the Mamas with his hit squash soup with crustinie....
The kids had fun running around and playing with each others bits of costumes. Milo was especially cute and he even kept his hat on, well at least for a bit, he only wears hats outside! Smart Kid!
Look for the up coming photos on Halloween when we go to the Halloween Parade.
Hope all is well. Its good here in the great old state o Maine, starting to get a bit chilly though. Seems we are staying put for the winter in our cozy digs....

Go tell it on the Mountain
We went hiking last Sunday up on top of Bradbury Mountain. This was the foggy view from the top. By the time we made it to the bottom, the sun had burned all the fog away!
We are enjoying the last few weeks of August, being out and about. Milo is loving the playground, as always. I think tomorrow we are gonna hit the beach in the AM.
Maine is so beautiful this time of year. And if I can entice any of our dear readers to visit, now would be a fantastic time. Also I will be performing on Friday, Sept. 9 at the Space Gallery on Congress Street in the evening. Myself and Catherine will be doing our debut of the Dirty Dervish Delight, in an outdoor bonanza. If any of you are questioning what this Dervish Delight is, I will elaborate. It is Roller Burlesque, but we will be keeping out much toiled over costumes on!
So come one, come all!
Milo sends his love from nap land, and please do go into Flickr and enjoy the new photos.
Ciao!

I look forward to next year with a huge smile...........

2 hats are better than one
Gram left this morning, in the haze of a very early morning. We had a fun week with brake replacement and beach journeys, plus an excursion or two to the wading pool. We had a roasted chicken and bacon. We laughed alot. I finally learned how to use the sewing machine! (Thanks Pat!)
Milo is getting huge. He loves the sand and surf. Flinging wet sand and rocks. Muttering crazy words like "onoff" and "ishy". At Dr. Balzer's this week he weighed 24.7 and was 31 inches long. He started climbing with a vengence in the apartment. He even climbed into the toy box this week. (please see photos)
We are making plans for many a Philly journey this fall, stay tuned!
Big ups to Nina...!

getting into trouble
Last week Milo visited the ER because he had a high fever. Turns out, he and his friends caught the cocksackies (please note this is a phoenetic spelling) virus. He has recovered from his illness and is up to good old trouble again. Chris caught him in the cabinet beneath the sink caught behind the pipes. No matter to Milo, he still stopped to smile for the photo.
Chris is off this weekend and we hope to make the most of it. Festival of Nations here we come.....

Fun with the son
Hi Yall,
Well today we went to Two lights State park with Milo. This is one of the most spectacular places along the Maine coast. It really is breath taking walking alog the cliff right above the ocean. Complete with grills! Milo had a blast avoiding the poison hedges! the dogs were damn good

a poem for Gladys
I drove over rutted farm roads,
through woods & marshes
caught your tree first in my field of vision
5 stories tall and sitting on a hill
its limbs knotty & furled with your photographs
like leaves and newspaper clippings hung high
& dancing in the ever changing Maine sky
below the tree, a stack of books opened
and a horse with a mournful eye
& you a girl
asleep in the pea patch-belly full like a turnip
your house a silent clapboard museum
the fields left to the birds & in the barn
stood your old airplane, sundusted soft, light filtering through the cracks and windows
In an old woman's dream there are vegetable patches,
with corn, cucumber & carrots
there are sneaky sisters & lost brothers
horses along the beach,
fragile fingers poking at an electric typewriter
forgotten friends who call, a cat whose name is no longer remembered
there are always cats- you said
& dogs who slept in the barn with the mice who dared to creep
which beside lay a road
not many drove upon
a grove in the far corner of the field hidden along the forest line-irrigation ponds which housed a thousand birds in the fall, a step ignites their rapid flight
with you hlding my arm, to steady against there migration
the hydrangea morph from white to pink
color caught & plucked to dry among the rafters
& rocks that your father rolled
in the trees your brother's climbed
the moss has grown on the bark
branches fallen and regrowing
lying in the brush
they taken your broom, the garden's now weeded through
the bulkhead locked and tied
your house stands alone
a cup on the counter
flys awakening in the window wells
you've moved on
eating memories as you lie awake far from home
a friend on a train, a hand you held, a bridle, a little girl's favorite food
a grandfather's face against the deep wooden walls,
a hand leaving no impression
your a child in Salem, with the two French girls on the boulevard
at the church that rocked its Baptist feet
forever moved
presently your arms ache to make the motion of climbing
to the highest point of the tree,
where your airplane awaits
for you-
the only woman to guard our jagged coast.

Oh so Hannah
Com on, they dont get any cuter than that. After one its all down hill. This was taken from a playdate on the park. The storms have set in on Maine the past few days. It gets hot and muggy, then the wind picks up and the fun begins. We were driving home the other day right before one hit. Me and Jenna watched it roll in off of the ocean minutes before it opened up. Milo was unfazed by the thunder.....go figure.

a fishy look
ok I thought I would mix it up with a picture of jenna. Milo is still in there, but foot only. So the car is fixed. Im sure you are thinking that you had no clue it was broken, but it was. $135 dollars later and some yelling all is well now.
I like to give "big ups" to Floyd. The man on a mission.....

Beach daze.
well he love the sand, not the cold ocean. Chris skipped rocks as Jenna scanned the sky. Milo found some huge pieces of seaweed to play with. We were just so happy to be out in the sun!

a nice picture jenna took of the front room. She fancies her self, some what of a shutter bug these days....
A new look!
Wow we got way behind on the blog huh?It looks a little different because, I haven't seen much traffic lately now that the weather has been nice. Jenna is off at the coffee house on a field trip, Milo is down for the night. I just got done working 14 of the past 15 days (not fun). Did I mention we need a cook at my job? We have a lot in the works, On my day off I get to work on the car and we get to host a party for some friends, when it rains it pours!

stroller kids
Hello all! This is a photo from the Philadelphia Zoo of Milo and Talia. We are back and sadly Milo came home with a virus, poor little guy has had a low fever, just when the weather has gotten nice. We are managing, just happy that he remains in good spirits for the duration of his illness.
We got Milo a small broom today at the hardware store and he love it. I am at work right now and I talked to Chris on the phone and he said that Milo tried to take the broom to bed with him. What a hoot. Is that something only a mother enjoys?
We did have a great time in Philly....what a lovely spring and what a wedding Brandon had, simply decadent.
Even made it too the zoo with Melissa and the kids. That was such fun!
We will keep you posted. Don't forget to click on the photo here to the right to take you to the flickr web site, we've posted a ton of photos for your enjoyment....
ciao!

YO!!!
Howdy there ...
Sorry for the brief pause in posts. We were just in Philly (jenna still is) and I left the camera adapter in Maine. Milo is enjoying life closer to the mason Dixon line, I had a nice drive through a Nor' Easter to get back to Portland. The weather was nice in Philly when i was there. Here in Maine it has been raining for about a month! It is supposed to be sunny some time next week......We are all very depressed. SO some new photos next week, Tuesday abouts...

off in the distance
Its been a wacky Wednesday. Milo went to the doctors this morning for his 12 month check up. He now weighs almost 22 pounds. After the doctors we took a ride to Kettle Cove and jumped into the misty fog, there, playing and the like. Milo walked around in the sand and on the trails, playing with sticks, stones and dirt....every kids delight. Please do click on the photo which will take you to Flicker, our photo storing website, there are 20 photos from todays journey. Enjoy!

Hannah and Milo sitting in a tree
On Wednesday, Chris and I watched Hannah for Her Mom, Melissa...a friend of ours. Hannah is about a week older than Milo and these to really get along well. Right before this photo was taken Milo has sauntered up to Hannah and gave her a hug and a kiss. That was why I got out the camera....we had a fun day. Hannah is a great baby. Next week I will be watching her on my own!
