I am in fact a hobbit



Here I am, looking a little shorter, a little stouter, and a whole lot more Hobbit-like! Tolkien would be proud.

Fryeburg Fair







Every year, Heidi and I try to make it to the spectacular Fryeburg Fair. It is the cream of the crop of county fairs, and if you've never been...you're missing out! I actually only (mostly?) go for the food. Sure the animals are cute and all, but it's really an excuse just to eat wicked bad food that tastes really good. Enjoy the pics.

Our first house lot



My father-in-law and I have been clearing our land the past couple of weeks. The sun lights it up beautifully. Probably next week we will be putting the foundation in! Heidi and I are so excited. We never dreamed we'd be building this soon after returning to Maine, but alas, we've been blessed!
