Since we are no longer just Mik and Mac, I've decided to begin a new journey with a new blog that chronicles our new life as a complete family. We have a new blog called 3 3-z. There's no real significance to the name except that we are the three three's. Our new blog address is:
Tim found a bundle package of Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premier Elements at the store the other day and made the purchase. I couldn't be more excited!! I have been wanting Photoshop for quite awhile now but was never able to afford it. We got the right technology (more RAM) and accessories for my computer to be compatible and voila! Here are my first tinklings of the software:

The last photo is my favorite of the bunch so far! It's so rustic and old looking. I just love it!
I just couldn't resist taking a gazillion pictures of my gorgeous baby girl niece. With Daddy's cooperation, I was able to capture some cool shots of the little one...
Tim made a special purchase for Mac while he was in town visiting after his first visit to see us. He purchased a really cool Thomas Lego Duplo set for Mac from the Lego store at the Mall of America. It arrived in the mail a few days after he departed:
May 2nd, 2009, Mac had no idea where he was headed. All he knew was that we needed to hop on the bus!
Surprise! Boy was he surprised when he discovered we'd be seeing, as he puts it, "Thomas alive on stage!" I managed to get some good seats even though we were way off to the right. Main floor, Row 3, seats 9 & 10:
Soo excited!!
You can't go to a show without making a small purchase at the gift shop:
Look! It's Thomas!
Mac and I drove down to Chicago for Mother's Day the following weekend to spend it with Tim and his family. We met his entire immediate family with the exception of his younger brother, Michael, and his family. Here's Mac swimming with Tim:
My two favorite guys!
We visited one of my closest friends, Cindy, where Mac decided to be superboy:
For Mother's Day, we went to Brookfield Zoo:
