Blog Shout Out

This post is a 'shout-out' to my friend Christine. Here she is next to me (in the tan sweater) at a friend's wedding in 2007 - I thought it would be fun to post an old picture.....actually, this is one of the latest pictures I have of her and me!

I have seen her since 2007 :) She came to meet Chloe...but I didn't take any pictures of her with me....

Anyway, this post is about how Christmas arrives at our house every year in a box that's from Christine & her husband....It's with great joy that I open the packaging to see what baked goods have come.



and this year? It's our family in gingerbread form.....could it get any better?



oh, it just did.....
and don't ask whether any of this is still around, or if I ate it all. :)

Thank you Christine & Justin for bringing Christmas to our house :) Maybe we can get together for a 2012 photo :)

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h
