Click here to check out a few of our new family photos


We had some family photos taken on Sunday. The photographer's name is Nicole and she did a great job! We found Nicole through an organization called Celebrating Adoption which is "a photographers' organization dedicated to providing beautiful portraits celebrating a family's new adoption".

The Slawikowski's in Duck, NC

 
We just got back from a great week at the Outer Banks of NC with Mark's family! We stayed in the same house we have gone to for the past 2 years. The girls had a great time with their cousins, aunt, uncle and grandparents! They loved the pool and playing in the sand but werent so sure about the ocean. We all had a great time!

Mia "swimming by herself"

 
Mia decided that using the noodles still qualified as swimming by herself. She had so much fun racing Daddy to either end of the pool.
