Darwin and Christina’s Wedding

By emily on September 2, 2010

Saturday (Aug 28th) evening we headed to Friendsville, Maryland for the wedding of Drew’s Uncle Darwin.  It was in the most beautiful location, the ceremony was outside in front of water and the reception was in a barn at the same location.  It was a wonderful wedding and fantastic to see all the Maust family again.

Meeting Miss Lily

By emily on August 31, 2010

Last Friday we met our new niece Lily Irene for the first time.  She was still very tiny and is the best baby I have ever met, I don’t think we heard her cry for the whole day.  Even when she is hungry or needs her diaper changed she doesn’t really cry she kinda yelps in a really cute way.

From Drew’s parents house we drove down to Morgantown and went straight to Lunch for a Buck where Mountaineer Campus Ministries puts on lunch for the students of WVU for the small fee of $1.  There we met Matt and Christina and Lily.  Matt fortunately could take his lunch break out to come and eat with us.  It was also a bit of a reunion with some old Morgantown friends.

After lunch we drove around Morgantown and took photos of the houses/apartments we lived in back in.  Then we went to hang out with Christina and Lily at their apartment.

Then we headed back to Greensburg PA and awaited the arrival of Aunt Barb and Grandma Irene.  Once they arrived we ate a yummy dinner and waited for Matt and Christina and Lily to arrive.  Then we all had a good time visiting for the evening.

In the morning we all hung out and got ready for the wedding of Drew’s Uncle Darwin and his finacee Christina.

This is where Drew used to live with Matt while they were bachelors.

The door on the right with the two windows was our first apartment, the place we lived when I immigrated. The door on the left was the entrance to the apartment upstairs.

Our second and final apartment in Morgantown, it was the one downstairs and to the back of the building.

Breakfast at Vivian’s

By emily on August 19, 2010

This morning we went next door to our neighbours Geth and Katie’s house for breakfast.  Poppy was so sweet with their little girl Vivian.  This made us realise that she’d be really good with a little brother or sister. (No I’m not announcing anything, I’m just saying).  Vivian is exactly (to the day) 9 months younger than Poppy, so she’ll be 4 months next Wednesday and Poppy will be 14 months.  They are the bestest of friends as you can see.

Give me your hand Vivian I want to hold it

Yay isn't this fun

"Poppy give Vivian a hug"

HAhaha, awkward!

Ahhhh, thats right

Come here Vivian, let me give you a hug

The best of friends!!

Poppy's going to be the BEST big sister!!!!

Poppy loved stroking Vivian's hair, hahahaha

Opps, not so good, sorry Vivian

We picked up a week’s groceries this past Sunday at Trader Joe’s. Poppy wouldn’t sit idly by while we picked out the food we would eat for the week–No!–she did some shopping, too.

Sorry the pics are out of focus. The camera on my phone has been having trouble lately.

Daddy Take Me To Soccer With You

By emily on August 14, 2010

Every Saturday morning Drew goes to play soccer with some random people in the area.  Today he left his soccer boots laying around and guess who found them!!  She got frustrated when she couldn’t manage to get them both on at the same time so I did help her and then ran and got the camera.
