Our Land in Maine

Violin Practice

Kelly has started taking violin lessons from Tom's teacher, Kara. She just recently moved up to a larger violin, a 1/8 size. She loves going to lessons with Daddy on Thursday evenings.

Orange Pickin'

Kelly and Mommy walked up the hill to check on the orange trees today. The temperatures have been freezing overnight and we were worried that the cold killed them. Luckily, they were alright. We decided to pick a few navels and try them. They were delicious!

Kelly picked a little more than the orange!

Christmas Eve Music

Our friends had us over Christmas Eve after church for yummy carnitas. Tom, Rob and Lou serenaded us with their musical talents.

Ladies in Red

On Christmas Eve Kelly and Mommy wore the same matching dresses that they wore when Kelly was a baby. Mandi found a larger size for Kelly a few years ago.

The kids at church sang songs for the Christmas Eve morning service. Tom played his guitar and Mandi helped the kids sing. Kelly sang her heart out.

Birthday Project

Uncle Billy and Aunt JaNel sent Kelly a snowglobe kit for her birthday. Kelly had fun putting it together. Thank You!

Kelly was proud of her snowglobe.

Kelly's First Sewing Machine

Daddy bought Kelly her very own sewing machine. Here she is stepping on the pedal while Mom Mom shows her how to move the fabric.

Kelly did pretty well on her first attempt to sew by herself.

The Birthday Girl

We celebrated Kelly's 6th birthday with a few of our friends. She had a horse birthday cake.
