Outtakes.

Humbling: Just Dance.  That's me with Susanne, my sis-in-law, and a family friend.

Sometimes it’s better just to shut up and let the pictures do the talking. . . . → Read More: Outtakes.

It’s alright to be little bitty.

I'm going faster than it looks, really.  In our 36 hours in Nowheresville, we biked 36 miles, swam 2200 yards, and ran 8 miles.  And Eric worked outside for 2 hours.  We also consumed our body weight in Blue Bell, BBQ, and German breakfast foods.  And then slept for 12 hours.

Blue bell ice cream, Blue Bell stadium, Blue Bell Aquatic Center = Nowheresville weekend. Whoop! . . . → Read More: It’s alright to be little bitty.

The long-awaited moment of humiliation (and love).

This is the smile he gives me.  And that I have AFTER I finish a swim training session ;-)

You’ll be screaming, “Put on some makeup, you 44-year old woman!!” But for better or worse, here’s the video of me singing a song my husband asked me to record for him, “God Gave Me You,” which Blake Shelton and the songwriter David Barnes both do really really well. Me? Not so much, but I get the sentiment across. :) . . . → Read More: The long-awaited moment of humiliation (and love).

How deep can a 15-year old boy be, really?

There are MANY things to love about Maine.  Lobsters rank high on my list.

My vote: not very. Eric’s? Well, he disagrees. It also appears that I threatened to bury him on Toothaker Island next winter during this video, but I don’t remember it. Must have been an out of body experience due to proximity in Maine to Stephen King. Oh well. :) . . . → Read More: How deep can a 15-year old boy be, really?
