SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

Hello All!

Spring is here in full force. The hyacinths and daffodils have shown their faces. The trees are blooming and the neighborhood smells like fresh cut grass. The store is open and we are now just waiting for the season to start. I can't believe what it took to get here, but with a lot of help from friends and family, it looks great. Looking forward to some business. Andrew's parents have finally moved into their house. I hadn't been over there in a long time and am astounded at how homey it feels. Even as open and spacious as it is, it still feels cozy and warm. I can't believe our boy is almost two. He is really showing his "boyness" lately and I am going to have to teach him the word "uncle." He's jumping all over me and has really learned to get me to the point of not being able to move. He's been great at the store and I really appreciate it. He loves Boothbay. We go down to the docks every morning and look for starfish and crabs and watch the fishermen prepare for a day's work. I know this may be fleeting, but I am taking advantage of every good day we have. As usual, I've attached some pictures. Hope you all are getting out in the sunshine.

Big Love,

Sarah

READY TO WORK!

Hi Guys,

Hope all is well. Finally, the time has come for me to back to work. I get into my space on Tuesday and I can't wait. These last 3 months have been wonderful. I have loved spending every minute with Ian, but the stress of not working is killing me. The VonFrank Residence is almost ready for living. I will post some pictures as soon as it's cleaned up a bit. It's going to be spectacular. As we are gearing up for spring, we got hit with another 3 inches of, you guessed it, snow. Although it was a little upsetting, it was beautiful and I was compelled to take some pictures. It can melt now. Ian has been an angel and I shed a little tear every day when I realize how lucky Andrew and I are. He is incredible. Smart, funny, cute. Not a bad bone in his body. Yes, we are blessed. He's looking forward to going back to work, too. On that, I will try to keep up this blog as best I can, so that you all can keep up with our crazy lives...

Big Love,

Sarah

I can't believe it's March!

Hi Everyone,

Well, daylight savings time is upon us and Spring is just around the corner. The trees have taken on a certain fuzzy quality and the light is completely different. That said, we still have about a foot of snow that still needs to melt and some new wet snow is falling as we speak. Ugh. I'm sure that by the time I'm done posting this, it will have turned to rain. I wish I had more to report at this time, but there is not a whole lot of new stuff going on. Ian is starting to read. Crazy! He only knows a handful of words but he learns a few more every day. We have a very wonderful boy. The VonFrank Residence is progressing. The water works and the oven is in. The bathroom is very close to completion. I can't wait to see it all come together and sit down and enjoy the view. Sorry for such a short post. As soon as something new happens, you'll see it here first.

Big Love,

Sarah

VONFRANK RESIDENCE UPDATE

Hello All!

Here are some new pictures of the VonFrank residence. It has been a long time, but I finally got over there and got some new shots. The floor is down, and it's really beginning to take shape. Andrew and his dad have been working every day and it shows...

Here is Dad making a door...

Here are the stairs going, well, upstairs...

The beautiful front door...

And, of course, the upstairs. I'll try and take a quick video so that you can see how the house flows.

Big Love,

Sarah
