Is bigger better?


Photobucket
I'm trying to figure out how to get photos bigger on the blog. How is this? Too big? Just big enough?

Sneak peek

I haven't had a chance to go through my photos yet, but here's a sneak peek of the littlest Woodford:

Go Laney!

Today is about capturing the moment because this is a technically bad photo. Delaney won states in the 240-yard race! She ran her personal best time and had the fastest time in all three divisions (sixth, seventh, or eighth graders). It's been so fun to watch her competitiveness kick in and see how she is thriving.

This is Cam and his girlfriend Brittany. Isn't she pretty?
She really is pretty. And nice too.
Delaney loooooves having her picture taken

A Birthday

Let's all wish Chris a happy 41st birthday today! I love pictures from the 80s, don't you? Check out the cheesy mustache, the straight-across bangs, and the shorty shorts. Awesome!

Faith

In the photo-of-the-day challenge I'm doing this week's theme is Faith. Here's my palm on a psalm:

Olympia

So Chris and I got up at 6 a.m. to watch the Red Sox season opener, and DirecTV is having a "known satellite issue" so we can't see it. Son of a nutcracker! Got it on the radio, though.

Took a drive yesterday afternoon to see Olympia, the world's largest snowwoman, in Bethel. That's Delaney, Marissa, and Marissa's cousin in the photo:She's looking a little snirty (snow/dirt) after a month or so, one arm is broken, and her mica necklace is mostly gone. She still has her ski eyelashes, though:
If you'd like to read more about her:

Horses

These beauties took us on a horse-drawn wagon ride for Maine Maple Sunday.




The end.

Maine Maple Sunday

Hey look, random lady, you made my blog!The real buckets are prettier than the Gatorade bottles you sometimes see collecting sap.
These next two, I was bummed I forgot to fix my color balance on my camera and they're very yellowy in color.

Syrup on snow. You really need the spoon in the shot for perspective, otherwise it just looks like yellow snow. Yuck.
I did like the colors in this one, but it's blurry.

Some more Easter

I have a lot of photos from Easter Sunday so you get more than one post today.

Look at that enthusiasm for the Easter Bunny's appearance:The egg hunt:
A turkey we saw later:
A golden retriever puppy we wanted to take home. She was at one of the sugar shacks we visited. It was Maine Maple Sunday in addition to being Easter.

Spring has not sprung

Didn't much feel like the first day of spring yesterday around here. The wind was wicked. It was even blowing me around, and we all know I am not a small woman (one of my small women friends was advised to put rocks in her pockets before stepping outside ha ha).

Since there are no natural signs of spring to be found, I've been looking for artificial green:And even made some (these eggs were not dyed yet, I did the dyeing in Photoshop):
And speaking of not being a small woman, since I'm an inconsistent Weight Watcher who is currently on the wagon again, I bought this cute little bracelet to keep track of points. You set your stop point and then move the "skinny b*&%h" around as you eat points until you come to the stop point. Clever, huh?
And Delaney had a fantastic week. She attended a Jonas Brothers concert with Marissa. Here they are with the sign they made:
Here's a funny she said. We were driving home last night, listening to the Jonas Brothers, when she said, "A lot of their songs are about breakups. Who would ever break up with them?" Remember those crushes? I was an Andy Gibb fan myself. There's no accounting for taste.
