More Pictures...

The two of us in St. Mark's Square in Venice. This was the shot where we weren't being attacked by pigeons.

Riomaggiore on the Cinque Terre (meaning 5 lands) which is part of the Italian Riveria. This day we hiked to all five of towns along the Ligurian Sea. It was beautiful!

Michael in his "Front Row" pose. It's a great organization for patients with long term illnesses. We volunteer with them locally-check them out at http://www.frontrowfoundation.org/

Beautiful Tuscany as viewed from Cortona- setting of Under the Tuscan Sun

The Colosseum in Rome. It was truly amazing to see this ancient structure still very much in tact. Once inside you could even see down into the cages where they kept the beasts who fought the gladiators.

A romantic evening at the Trevi Fountain in Rome.

Some of you may have visited our first blog- Michael and Kristin- but now that we will soon be three we have made a new home for the Schriks family updates. We look forward to sharing the fun of our new addition and the preparation leading up to her arrival. Yes, it is a she and we can't wait to see her little face this April! Until she comes we will post pics and updates of what we've been up to since moving to Philadelphia. We look forward to hearing from each of you and keeping up with the happenings in your families as well.

Here are some pics from what's been going on this past year or so...

Our house in Ardmore. This was taken in early May so we look forward to taking the baby on walks in the spring when the tulips and cherry tree are blossoming. I planted 100 more bulbs this fall so we should have a wide array this coming spring.

Michael and I backpacking in Italy. This was taken from our hotel balcony in Varenna on Lake Como. I was amazed that I could pack for three weeks in this one bag...2 gallon ziplocs was the trick!
