The Machiela's

A beautiful Fall day spent chasing bugs, eating Oreo's, blowing in the wind, climbing stairs carved into a mountain, and waving to train conductors in Harper's Ferry. Check out our pictures here.

Years ago Bekah and her baby sister played dolls together and dreamed about what it would be like to be married someday.  This past weekend we had the joy of celebrating with Rachel as she pledged her life to the love of her life, Jordan.  It's great to see Rachel so happy, and we're so excited for her and Jordan they begin their lives together.  Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs. Williams!

Here are some of our favorite pictures from the wedding day.

Lydia is now just over a week old.  We took a lot of pictures during her first week and thought we would post some highlights.  Also, for those of you who may have missed it, here is a video we posted of her a few days ago.  Enjoy!

Today Bekah turned 30!  It was a gorgeous Spring day, so we took our new camera (a combined Mitch + Bekah birthday present) out to the Cherry Blossom Festival in DC.  Check out our pictures of the blossoms and other festivities of the day.  Thanks to everyone for making it a special and memorable day.

With unexpected news from our previous landlord that he was foreclosing on the condo we were renting, we quickly snatched up this gem of a townhome for rent.  It was an easy move, with the two places being less than 1/4 mile away from one another.  We're happy to say that we are mostly settled in with a little bit of time to spare before Baby Girl Machiela makes her appearance in the coming weeks.  For those interested, here is a high definition video tour we shot of the place.

Over the years we have appreciated the selection, reviews, and convenience of Amazon.com.  Today we announce a small partnership we have created with Amazon.com.  From here on forward, if you click on the Amazon.com link in the right hand side of our blog and make a purchase we will get a small credit for referring you.  Nothing we will get super rich from, but something simple you can do to help finance some of our hobbies.

It has been a long time since we have updated the blog.  So, here are the most recent pictures (and a few videos) of our not-so-little-anymore Simon.  Enjoy!
