Ha! That's what Stella called this song while we were shaking our booties to it this morning while cleaning up. If this is old school then I'm ancient! :) Much Love!

I was browsing Etsy this morning looking for some camera accessories . A new bag and a new camera strap is what I'm looking for. Still haven't found exactly what I have in mind but I think I'm getting close. I found this as an interesting substitute for a bag. Not for me but a great idea! There are so many cool and creative things on Etsy . And, of course it's so easy to get side tracked and get hooked into finding other things that you probably don't really need but are fun to look at. From Ipad covers to wall decorations for Stella's new room..... the endless possibilities! It's rainy and a bit chilly in the valley this morning so Stella and I are hanging out at the house, putsing around. Heading to the gym in a little bit for a swim. Sending out much Wednesday LOVE!

Getting settled in Waterville and life is great. There are a few things pulling at my heart strings and it's these guys (below), oh and Teddy too! We talk about every other day and thanks to my iphone and Skype I'm getting tons of pics and videos to them. *sigh* :) I know we'll all see each other soon, and this experience thus far has been really great for Stella and I and our new little family but I miss them! :) *LoVe * Happy girl, anoyed that I keep taking pictures.....Stella at the beach by town square about 2 blocks from the house. After camp ended today we had a date night. Just us two. Troy, Taylor and Jordan are still in Chile and we're missing them like crazy too! Again, I can't thank Skype enough! :) With the weekend coming up Stella and I plan on soaking up some sunshine on the beach and swimming in the lake, getting a weeks load of laundry done and most importantly relaxing. We've been go, go, go all week. Sending out some much ...

We have had such a fun, busy week, but I'm glad it's come to an end. Stella this week, was involved with the WVBBTS ( Waterville Valley Black and Blue Trail Bashers ) dryland camp. A full week of working out from morning till night. It was awesome! She got to meet a ton of kids that she'll be on the ski team with this year. She made a bunch of new BFF's within the first hour, it was great to see her make some new friends and one of the best parts....mama got to work out ALL week! woo- hoo ! The last day of the camp was a kids triathlon . Stella did pretty well. It was a hoot to watch! A group shot to finish out the camp! Now it's time for a little R&R. Sitting by the pool, taking in the sunshine and date night tonight with the little one. Happy Friday Y'All !!! Much Love!

Today Stella and I did some more exploring of New England. About 35 minutes down the valley from us we found Alpine Adventures ! We had such a hoot! We did 6 really long zip lines in the canopy of really tall trees right outside Lincoln. Stella's done some zip lining before (in Europe and her tree house in Colorado) but never anything this high and this fast! She was giggling all the way! Unfortunately it was hard to take pictures because we were moving pretty fast through the course and we sort of needed both hands on the rigs. One up above on the carabiener and one on the line. But the last line we did, we had a bit of a free fall out of the tree so they had us harnessed in a little different so I had a chance to pull out the camera and get some pics! Two thumbs up!! Happy Girl! So much fun, and the staff ROCKED. If you're in the area, Stella and I both HIGHLY recommend taking the tree hours to do this tour. Sending out much Sunday LOVE!

With Troy is gone in Chile for the next 10 days, Stella and I have been exploring New England on our own and having a BLAST!!! We skate board down to this awesome little beach every day which is in our little town square! While dropping Troy off at the airport in Boston, Stella and I took the opportunity to take in the city. Verdict....we LOVED it! What a great city! Oh, and the topper.....LOBSTER! Yum! Stella was a happy camper! Stella and I checking out the back-woods of New Hampshire right outside our back door! Clark's Outdoor Trading Post outside Lincoln, NH. A bit kiddish, but pretty fun! Happy at home. L O V I N G this place. Sending lots of love and gratitude down towards Chile! Much Love.

Stella and I were jamming to this on the way to the gym this morning.....how true it is, all you need is LOVE! Much Monday Love!!
