Our New Blog

Since there will soon be four of us instead of only three, we are changing up the blog and going from the focus of ME to US.

Check us out at http://www.themarianofamily.blogspot.com

We may post a little bit more here before the baby comes, but once she is here we will probably just post on the family blog. This one will still be there for archives.

Putting Babies to Bed

Look what I did while Mommy was folding the laundry...

...my favorite thing to do these days is put all my babies & animals to bed. Good think I am very good about cleaning up when Mommy tells me to, otherwise there would be blankets & pillows everywhere!

Humming While I Work

I am almost always singing (or humming) these days & sometimes I even make up my own songs. Here I am humming as I fix dinner for my babies in my play kitchen.

Sunny Sunday

We spent all morning outside soaking up the sun. Making silly faces

Catching Up

Mommy is very sorry to have neglected the blog this long.
Here is a quick update on some things we have been up to & we will be much better at posting regular updates again!

On Valentine's Day, Daddy took his two girls to the park & to lunch. It was a sunny day in between rain storms so we definitely needed the fresh air and fun. Katie & I are pretty much best friends. She stayed with us for a long weekend while my Nana & Papa took a little vacation and she got to sleep on my bed. I hug her and give her kisses and am pretty nice to her most of the time. Katie is a very good sport about all the love I give her.

Just being cute...

We've been getting things ready for the arrival of my new baby sister. Daddy painted her room this past weekend and I got to help a little. I was very excited about it as you can see.

Daddy even got brave & let me use the roller a little.

Fun with the Twins

My cousins Emma & Ava turn one year old this week. So I got to go to their birthday party this weekend. (Click on their names if you want to see more pictures of their birthday party!)

Here we are in our matching outfits from Grandma Coyle.
