To catch up, this is a photo from last Saturday's Punkinfiddle Festival at the Wells Reserve and Estuary. We hopped a ride with the Aguiar family (10 bucks a carload) and had a wonderful time frolicking by field and sea. Milo stood in line 15 minutes for this pony ride which he asked for a ton of times. He was so excited..........he held onto the pony like a big boy and warmed my heart with with the extraoridarily bug smile he wore. He was beside himself with glee.
I hope you enjoy the photos, they were great fun to take.
Look forward to more photos this week, including Milo in a bag, Milo's new new haircut & perhaps a few more, woo-hoo!

THE NEW DO

THE NEW DO
Originally uploaded by zavodk.

Sunday Afternoon, while playing in the living room, Milo was having trouble keeping his hair out of his eyes. I have been meaning to get him and his father to the Barber Shop, on the to do list for this week. I was sitting there embroidering, minding my own business. I sort of heard his father say something about a haircut, but so engrossed I was that the next time I turned around, Milo running into the living room to show me his "new do"
Chris says that Milo apparently, "sneezed" while cutting his bangs. I am not so sure. I entered the bathroom where the cut took place and saw these extra large kitchen shears that he used on his hair. Oh my! I pointed out the hair cutting scissors that I lovingly use on Chris' hair when I cut it, located in the bathroom. I was a bit startled at first & did the best I could to straighten them up. After time has gone by,
the cut has really grown on me, looks so cute! It brings out his face. We'll see what the barber can do this week! Stay tuned kids!

Side Note:
Because I never followed up on Susan & John Finn's little arrival,
Bayleigh Eleanor Finn was born in August & was a whooping 9lbs!
She is currently happily nursing away and giving her parents much joy!
Big ups to Little Mama Sue, you go girl with your big baby!
PS-Sue come to Flickr and check out some old photos I've uploaded. They are in a set called "Revisiting"

getting back into the swing of things

On Tuesday Milo and I made our way to playgroup and stopped at the fire station on the way inside. Those busy firemen were busy inspecting their trucks, making sure all the lights and sirens worked properly. Lucky for Milo who was an eager spectator & relished their work. One kind firefighter brought out a hat especially for Milo. I think we might have a future firefighter on our hands, it does run in the family, Great-Grandpa Keys was a fire fighter. His favorite page in "Cars and Trucks and Things That Go." by Richard Scarry is the page with at least 8 fire truck illustrations.
Come and check out some recent photos of our excursion to Philly. Especially a day we spent with two old friends of mine, Nicole and Lisa with their beautiful babes in tow....
Also there is a set on a recent trip to the Maine Wildlife Refuge, Moose photos and all!
Hope your having a great week......

which Keys is this?
