Our First Blog!


Well, this is our first blog.  I just wanted to bring everyone up to date on what the Pressey's have been up to.  I (Sam) have been unemployed since March 29th, 2008 and I have been enjoying it very much.  In the next couple of weeks I will be receiving my Carvewright wood carving machine, and starting my own wood carving business.  I am going to start out carving plaques and awards and clever sayings into wood, and see where inspiration takes me!  I have been having a lot of fun spending time with all the kids and working on the treehouse.  We just added a two-person swing, a new ramp and a new slide!

During April Vacation, we took a trip to Portland and Boston.  We all had a great time.  We stayed at our favorite hotel, The Merry Manor, in South Portland for two days, then we drove to Woburn, Mass. and stayed a night there.  We went to the Museum of Science, Cambridgeside Galleria and Feneiul Hall Market Place.  I went to the Apple Store and Rachel got to go to The Cheesecake Factory!

We have been Barbecuing a lot lately (almost every day), but today we went to our friends Amanda and Dave's for a BBQ.  We had a great time.  It was really nice being able to catch up with some of the people that I haven't seen much since Verizon closed.  Otto really likes going there.  We were over there the other day to help them shovel dirt into their new raised garden bed and I think Otto shoveled the most dirt out of all of us!  He loves to play with their dog Olive!
