Summer Feasts and Fun






OMG, can't believe it's been since April that we posted! Hopefully, someone is still looking... Laina is growing up so fast. This age, from 3-4 is so very much fun. She has an infinite imagination and it is so fun to see what she comes up with. When she says, "I have an idea...", everyone listens. Here is a photo of one of her more unusual napping places, right smack dab in the middle of the sliding doorway to our deck. She was so cute that no one minded. I woke her up one morning recently and her first words were.."you are wrecking my stew.." She was cooking in her dream. We had her Aunt Kathy and Uncle Tom for a visit and we enjoyed a great Lobster Feast, complete with corn on the cob and freshly caught striped bass, coleslaw and blueberry-peach pie for dessert. YUM. Laina eats her own lobster, and loves all seafood. She and Kathy had a "Mad Face" competition, not sure who won, but here's one of Laina's.(I won't post Kathy's because she is my big sister and well, her mad face can still scare me) We also had a nice visit with Grandma and Grampa and we went with them to a "Reptile and Bird World" that everyone enjoyed. Laina got to pet some baby owls. And of course, we went to the 4th of July Parade and Laina had a terrific time.This year, she brought her butterfly net to catch the candy and stuff that they throw from the floats, it worked out great. They would all aim for her net. Here's our annual photo of Laina with our dear friend Nancy. We are all having a good summer so far and the fun isn't over yet. In August we have our China Reunion, more family visits and an actual vacation to Maine for a few days. We'll take lots of pictures!

Yes, we are still looking, and enjoying your posts. Haven't looked in a few days and was happy to see new pictures today. Laina looks adorable in every picture. And the lobsters don't look bad either. Keep sharing.

I saw that angry face and said to myself. "Roma does that all the time" Plus, her pose for photos nowadays is to not smile. I hope we can catch some great smiles when we see you in august.

Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins
to safeguard against hackers? I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked
hard on. Any suggestions?

and if they missed your get in touch with, they normally referred

At first I didn't pay out significantly consideration for the phone but humored the representative anyway. Soon I was taken in not through the revenue pitch nor the smoothness but rather the facts. The 1 hour payday loans uk loan officer proceeded to talk with me about the pitfalls and tricks from other lenders. He even advised me about payday lenders which I was very interested to hear. I tested this with two lenders I had believed would present me a deal I could dwell with.
