Day 2 & 3 combo

Since it's my blog, I'm going to do this 30 day challenge my way!  Hee hee, that means that it will take much longer than 30 days :)

The meaning behind my blog name...are you ready?  Are you sure?  Ok, here it is...I live on Dragonfly Lane!  Pretty creative, huh?

Since day 2 is hardly worth it's own posting, I'm combining it with day 3, a picture from my childhood.  Ok, several pictures from my childhood.  I borrowed a box of photos from my mom.  The girls and I were looking through some of them last night and laughing.  Oh, the hairstyles!  Oh, the clothes!  It's funny to look back at pictures and realize some memories aren't accurate.  Some of my memories of childhood are based on my feelings!  In my mind, I've always been overweight and awkward.  But looking back, that's not really true.  The weight came on mostly in my adult life.  Sure, I was never a skinny kid, but I wasn't as huge as I remember either.  The awkward part, yeah, that's always been there.  But I'm ok with it.

Here are the pics:  I was too lazy to scan them in, so I took a picture of the picture.  The first three are my sister and I, and I seem to always be on the left!

What would a childhood be without a John Deere tractor?!

I'm holding Sammy the cat, my sister has the catch of the day, and there's good ol' Jake

We were so YOUNG!  I think this was coming back from skiing??

These are kind of random, but I've got an idea for future blogging to go back and pull out some older photos.  That'll be fun!

snow tunnel 2011

We actually had enough snow this year for the annual snow tunnel...

It's been awhile...

Hmm, it's been almost a month since I've blogged.  We've had some wonderful family times and have been busy trying to finish school.  We will be DONE tomorrow, June 15th.  YAHOOOOO!  We are looking forward to a bit of R & R for a few weeks, before July hits!

The month of July is going to be a bit crazy, but good crazy.  We will be spending a week at Camp Good News.  I'm excited for this opportunity to volunteer in this ministry. Then comes VBS two days after we return from CGN.  I will be teaching bible to the 1-2 graders.  I love this age group! Our theme is Saddle Ridge Ranch, I'm sure it will be a great week! And somewhere in there we will try to squeeze in a few school days!  We need to keep up with math facts and handwriting at the very least.

A few pictures of what we've been busy doing:

Cousins having fun in the sun!

A short but sweet visit with Nana.

Grand-dad playing with his granddaughters.

We helped celebrate Tim and Laurie's anniversary.  We went to eat at the Sebago Brewing Company and played at Deering Oaks Park playground.

We finally got out the fishing poles and discovered there are fish in this lake...

a 13 inch largemouth and...

a 3 inch "snack"

I finally got a picture of the nesting loon!

I don't know if it's a male or female, they take turns on the nest.  And no, I didn't get as close as this picture suggests.  I have a great zoom on my camera!

And, Em and Rach finished their latch hooking projects!  They have worked diligently on them since January.  We will be finishing it to a rug this week, but I had to share the project with all the stitches finished.  They worked HARD!

Well, I guess I'll sign off for now...until next time.

Summer has arrived!

Our summertime home away from home was delivered today by Kit of Destinations RV! Soon, we'll be heading over to our seasonal site to get it set up! I'm ready for summer, how about you?

BEST BUDS!
