Yearly Archives: 2009

Larry and I have never been big partiers, and New Year's Eve has been no exception. Generally we would see the New Year in with a bottle of wine on the beach but the pitch dark, cold beach in the middle of the night would be a bit scary for little Walker. However, I did

We've been talking about Thanksgiving and discussing what we're thankful for. I'm not sure if Walker gets the concept but I'm certainly satisfied with his response. We love Uncle Thayer and appreciate his knack for keeping things silly. Daddy gave Walker a very special present -- his very own gallery. Walker was so terribly excited

I'm about to run out the door to see my wonderful men but I had a very satisfying web experience today that I thought I should share. I've been in the process getting life insurance, because, well, it's an adult thing to do. I went through my financial adviser and the process was extremely long

Walker is very excited about Daddy's birthday because Daddy asked me to make him an Elmo cake so we're going to see how a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting fares when decorated as Elmo. Daddy also indicated to Walker that he will share his birthday (and

I’m in Vegas. No, Larry and I are not renewing our vows in the Elvis Chapel and in fact, he and the little Pie are at home. I am attending the Shop.org conference to learn all about more effective ways to convert site visitors into paying customers and the boys are roughing it for 36

The book of this coming year is being written. May it be filled with joy, laughter, wisdom and good health.

It's now September, I'm back and busy with work.  The wonderful days of summer in Maine are only a lovely memory of perfection and it's time I reflect and document for posterity. My father is from Maine and I've been spending time there since I was a little girl. Some of my best memories are
