Starting a Blog

We would have to say the idea of blogging came to us in a very sudden way. We realized that we sometimes don't express what is going on in our lives very well to our family and friends. So, we thought a blog would be a great idea. Now, let's begin.....

Week on Wall Street

   Well I know its been awhile but the Brownie is going to report on the New York trip! I went to NYC for a week in May without my Muffin and Oreo. It was a fun little adventure but sad to be away from my two favorite treats. The reason for going to New York was to fulfill a school credit. There were about 18 students and 2 professors that went.
   We went to 9 businesses over the course of the week and visited companies like Goldman Sachs, Brownstone Investment, UBS, New York Stock Exchange, and the Federal Reserve to name a few! It was like a businessman's dream to go to the financial capital of the world!
   In the evenings we got to go sight seeing, shopping, and partying. Sight seeing involved places like Empire State building, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, the 911 Memorial, Grand Central Station, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a Yankees game!
   I had to be creative with my evening free time because my friends enjoyed partying in clubs and bars so I hung out at the hotel. Here are a couple pictures from the trip...

Photos Of Our little Oreo

Once again we were very blessed to have the Brownie's aunt do newborn pictures for our little Oreo. Newborn photos were really fun. There is not much that we had to do to get ready for them. The only thing that we needed to do was to keep the little guy up for about 1-1.5 hrs before the photo shoot. This ended up being a little more difficult then expected. It's not easy keeping a newborn up when they want to sleep. When we got to the photo shoot we fed the Oreo and then he was out for the count and was really good for the entire shoot. Here are some of our favorite pictures.
