Common Ground Fair

We forgot our camera but Sharon remembered hers! Yeah Sharon!



Althea is leaning in to the Nigerian dwarf dairy goat. Really cute 2 month old kid - think Portland will let us have a goat? We have a barn to keep it in...


So at this point I am thinking "vet"...


Kinship with the animals...


Althea and Nora checkin' out the horses - otherwise known as big doggies.

Uncle David - These are for you...

We think she was the good luck charm for the Patriots last year - so even though Tom is hurt we broke out the Brady jersey...


Chillin' in her chair on the porch and enjoying a snack before the game.


Stopping to gaze at the camera and Daddy.

BahHaHaHa!

Yes, she is really enjoying the pizza. She scrapes the cheese and sauce off with her 6 teeth and then tackles the crust.


Oh Yeah! Happy pizza baby!


Fun in the Tupperware drawer... All kinds of things to bang, throw and generally have a grand time with...


Quick run away from Momma with the Tupperware in hand - run, run, run!
BTW those are leg warmers she is wearing - ha! pink striped Punky Brewster style leg warmers.

The Tricycle

Althea is a big fan of Ben's tricycle.


As you can see her feet don't touch the ground but that doesn't stop her. She really likes holding on while we push her on the tricycle.


"The helmet goes on like this, right? What's so funny?"


"For my next trick I will stand on the tricycle without a helmet and scream AHHHHHHH! really loud."

It's been such a long time...

Yeah! A visit from Uncles Jay and Will!



Jay, Matt, Althea and Will pose atop the Tower of Power - otherwise known as The Portland Observatory (last remaining maritime signal tower in the country thank you very much). That would be the lovely Casco Bay over Jay's right shoulder. Althea is however more interested in Will's Whistler shirt - what does that tell you?


"Oh I'm so cute! Yes I'm so cute!"
Still sporting the Easter Bonnet from Mammie, some lovely striped pants and the glorious green romper! A girl with her own sense of fashion - watch out Uncle Drew!


Chewing on the lens cap - I am trying like mad to get a clear shot to send to Nikon, hoping for some free gear or maybe a jump start on the Peanut's college fund...


Punk. Check out the way she is resting her foot - too much little one, too much.
