First Suit

Marin's first bathing suit from Grandma C and Great grandma B. She just can't wait till swimming time.

Seeing Family

My Aunt Sandy took care of Marin, Wil and I while we were in Texas. We got to have dinner one night with our cousins, this is Sarah who is almost 8!!!!

Taking a Trip to Texas

My Grandma P. who lives in Texas was hospitalized this past week so Marin and I jumped [her first] a flight to Texas on Saturday. Marin got to meet her Greatgrandma P.














Marin has 3 Great Grandmas, this is the first one she has been able to meet. This was a very precious time together with my grandma who spent much of my childhood taking care of my family; cooking us lots of good Italian food, taking us to piano lessons and girl scouts, helping with homework, and wonderful nap time back scratches.

Visit From Missouri and to Disney

We went to Orlando with Grandma Cheri and Grandpa Tim. We got to go to Epcot and Magic Kingdom. It was a fun trip and great to see family of course.

We enjoyed a 3D movie, with smells, splashing water, wind and more.

New Games

Marin is starting to play with toys. She gets very serious (notice the tongue) about moving her arms around and kicking her feet. She is starting to hold, reach, and grasp. Very exciting, our little baby is growing up so fast.

Play Time

Playing on a blanket. You can't tell me this girl doesn't know how to have a good time.

Low Rider

Our little trip to St. Augustine and the beach. Marin wore her little sun glasses to protect her eyes from the sun. We think she looke like a motorcycle rider, with a pacifier!

Shade-bathing on a warm Fall day.
