Sneak Peak :: Colin

Yesterday was such a beautiful New England day.  Perfect for photographing adorable Colin, who just turned 2 years old.  Alongside his sister, Ella and mother, pictures to follow.

Isn't he adorable?

Baking

We baked our favorites: Blueberry muffins and Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate

Recipe for the Blueberry Muffin from Parents:

Ingredients 

1 3/4 cups all-purpose baking mix (such as Bisquick)

• 1/2 cup quick oats
• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup blueberries

 Make It

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with baking liners. In a large bowl, combine baking mix, oats, and 1/2 cup sugar. In a medium bowl, beat together the milk, egg, and vegetable oil.
2. Stir milk mixture into dry baking mixture just to combine. Add blueberries and stir. Using an ice-cream scoop, place batter in muffin cups. Sprinkle tops with remaining 1 Tbs. sugar.
3. Bake in the oven for 17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.

Beach life

Fridays are such a fun day for us.  We usually spent it with our 'mommy-friends' going to different places.  Today we went to Nahant Beach in Lynn, MA.  It's about 45 minutes from our house and cost $3.00 to park or you could sneak in the restaurant parking and not pay a cent.

Here is my favourite quote for today:
"The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters. "

Fam Bam & Visitors

My family from Florida had a three week road trip.  Their first destination was South Carolina then Toronto, New York State.  On their way home they stopped to visit us then again heading back to SC and finally back to FL.  Phew!
We walked and walked for days on average 6-7 hours at a time.  My legs were exhausted but of course enjoyed every day we spent together.  I am pretty close to my aunt and uncle.
Here are some snaps of my beautiful cousin & a few extras from the day to North End.

It been 2 years since Thailand & Laos

I cannot believe it's been a mere 2 years since we've visited Thailand & Laos for my family reunion.  Here are some of my favourite shots from our trip.
