Spring break

We were able to enjoy the company of my parents for sping break this year. We did a lot and had a lot of fun doing it all! We went into the city to enjoy some authentic Philly cheesesteaks and we visited some of the sights around here. We also took yet another trip into New York and had an adventure there. They have been gone since last Sunday and we still miss them! At least once a day, since they have left, Blake asks for them. He sure loves his grandparents!


here is my dad enjoying his first Philly cheesesteak.

Hair today, gone tomorrow

Just thought I would post some pictures of Mike when he had some hair. Most of these were taken about 4 years ago. Just look at those cute curls!

Bringing in the New Year

We decided to start the New year off in New York City. The night was full of events from riding a crowded bus to attempting to watch the ball drop at midnight. We even got on T.V somewhere in the middle of all that. The streets were full of people! Sometimes they call traffic jams parking lots - well this was just the same but with people instead of cars. We were able to move about a foot every min. Robbie was the only person we lost. He was found again right before midnight.

After this was all said and done... I will never go back there for New Years again! It was a fun experience but maybe just to hear about it rather than experience it. At least the weather was nice.

Potty Training 101

Here we go....
Blake has decided he would like to go "pee pee in the potty". So I bought him this little toilet. Here he is trying it out for the 1st time. Nothing much happened except for a little trickle, but he enjoyed the experience of sitting on it like a big boy.




A little privacy please!!

Trip to New York

For Thanksgiving holiday, we took a day and went out to New York. What a fun city! These pictures were on our ferry ride to see the Statue of Liberty.


Here is New York City right behind us.

There you can see her beind us, getting closer!

Blake didn't make it the whole way through.

Family Pictures

We had our neighbour take some family pictures for us before winter started. She did a great job! You can tell because we look better in our pictures than we do in real life. Well of course Blake is just as cute in person!

A Great Performance!

Just a little peek at Mike and Blake performing a piece of their "show". Blake loves to perform!

The M&M factory

Welcome to the M&M factory (Michael and Marin). As for now we have only produced one single product. We call him Blake. So far he has been a success. Those that have sampled of his goodness will attest to this. He is a little cheeky at times but has brought so much joy into our lives. In fact he fits in so well that it is hard to remember what our married life was like before he was born.
We are based in Pennsylvania in an adorable little village named Adubon. To support our factory Michael is attending dental school at Temple University. He will complete his four years in 2011. It seems so far away, but I know time will pass quickly. By then we will have made an M&M version 2.0 and probably even a version 3.0 if we are so lucky.
I am a full time mom that loves her job. I am definitely still learning, and wondering if one day I will ever get this down. As for now, I am happy and feel very blessed with such a wonderful life.
Oh and free samples with each tour!
