ADAM does Rumplestiltskin

April 30, 2009 – 8:29 am

ADAM(Academy of Developing Artists of Maine) had a wonderful vacation camp last week and put up the play Rumplestiltskin. My daughters have been part of the academy since it’s opening last year and it is such a wonderful place for children to have a voice. The academy’s website has a list of all upcoming classes and productions so check it out.rumple1.JPG

Taryn and John

April 26, 2009 – 8:15 am

Tayrn and John visited us from Chicago this weekend and we had a blast going around town and the beach capturing their love for each other. They will be saying their “i dos” in October of this year at the awesome Nonantum Resort. We were blessed with fantastic weather this weekend and I hope it carries into the rest of our Spring/Summer. Chris and I had so much fun with this couple and we are very excited for their wedding!

Paragliding in Switzerland

April 14, 2009 – 5:08 am

Paragliding was not something I ever thought I would do. When we were arrived in Murren we noticed lots of paragliders in the sky and we even watched a few of them take off, basically running off the side of a huge mountain. It looked so peaceful to be sailing above the ground and it looked quiet and safe. So I talked myself into trying something new and I took the plunge and did the jump. It was nice to see the ground in a new way, but for me it was very scary. We hit some turbulence and I was reminded of how much I dislike flying. It was a long 20 minutes down for me, but I am glad I did it. I think it is important to try new things to keep you young at heart. I have a video that Joe, the guide took in which I look absolutely petrified! Here are a few of the shots Chris took from the ground and a couple that Joe took in the air.

Igloo Village in Zermatt Switzerland

April 10, 2009 – 3:48 pm

After sorting through all the photos we took in Switzerland I have decided to break up our trip into segments. This segment is about our overnight stay in the Iglu-Dorf igloo village in Zermatt. We found the igloo village online and thought it was so unique we needed to try it! When we met the group to hike up to the village, we were greeted by a camera crew from the travel channel and they were doing a show on extreme travel and asked to mike up Chris and I. We will be on the show when it airs sometime in the future and they did follow us for the entire time we were there. I have posted a photo of Jann our camera man filming  us as we ate cheese fondue. I have also posted the toilet(yes the seat was very cold), the dining area, the ice bar, the sleeping area with sleeping bags,the outside sun deck, the view of the matterhorn during the day, the entry way with snowshoes(Chris went snowshoeing in a snowstorm that evening in the dark), the kitchen(called kuche) and a map of the igloo village. I was nervous about being cold, but it is a constant 32 degrees inside and I was actually hot inside my sleeping bag(it was rated to 40 below zero). We also went in the hot tub and Chris rolled in the snow for the travel channel camera(very funny).  Overall, it was a great experience and we had a wonderful time in the igloo village on the top of Zermatt!

sweet baby

April 10, 2009 – 2:19 pm

This was the sweetest and most alert newborn! She let us photograph her for a full hour which is unheard of as far as tiny babies go. This was my favorite image from the day.
