After a trip to the Ranch and our Saturday night Dinner we came home. This evening, John and I caught up on our dvr'd shows. We haven't seen Castle in so long. While we watched TV, I made this page.

Holidays In Hand

Today is Day 1 of Jessica Sprague's Holidays In Hand course. Assignment 1 calls for us to write down our Goals for the Holiday Season. Assignment 2 encourages us to find at least 20 minutes each day to write, blog, photograph.... I am especially excited about Assignment 2 because I think it will help me destress and give me an opportunity to do what I crave whenever I have free time. So...my goal is to have Christmas shopping done by Dec 1. I know, it's a lofty one, but I think it's an appropriate time of the year to have Faith. I also want a beautiful Christmas Tree since this will be the first Christmas tree we have. (In the past, we've had small ones; this year, I ordered a 9 footer and I've begun to work on the Christmas Ornaments.) Ceci loves to bake so we have to do plenty of it this Holiday season and I would like to take tons of pictures since this will be Kazen's first Christmas. Lastly, I can't wait to take these 20 minute opportunities to scrap book a few pages before the time gets away from me. Have you thought about the holidays yet?

Happy Halloween!!

We've been pretty excited about this Halloween since this is the first Halloween C will go trick or treating. She decided a while ago she wanted "to be a Super Hero, Not a Super Villain!" As they left the house to go trick or treating, I couldn't tell who was more excited; Daddy or C.

Kazen Rene

Oh Wow, it's been such a long time since I've written! Our son, Kazen was born on June 30th. He was born a whopping 7lbs 6 ozs at 34 weeks! We were surprised that he weighed more than C whom I had at 38 weeks. We were relieved that he was born healthy and with 10 toes. After 2 weeks, I started driving (Woohoo!!!Freedom!!) and trying to go back to my "Normal Life" only I didn't really know what our "normal life" would be like since the addition of the baby. We have settled into a routine that we're happy with. It's pretty much, don't go anywhere with the baby. It is such a Production to go anywhere with him. We had become so accustomed to living an easy life with C, traveling with Baby was a shock to my system. But we have quickly adapted and if I learned anything from C, I learned that children go through phases pretty quickly. Soon, he will be eating and sitting up, then trying to crawl and teething. It all goes by so fast, I'm trying to enjoy it and take it all in. We are so Thankful for him.

Where were you 2 years ago today?

I was looking through my pictures tonight and noticed the date on these. 2 years ago today Perla and I were in Spain because Omar was playing Tennis over there. Although we didn't get to see him play Tennis, we had so much fun. In fact, I guess you could say that Perla and I had all the fun for him. He spent most of his time playing Tennis in the immense heat against Pro-Tennis players. Perla and I spent time in Madrid and Barcelona. We took a quick trip to Barcelona and Loved It! I got to eat my Spanish Paella with my Sangria on the Barceloneta ( Spanish Mediterranean Sea) The weather was cool and the water was too, but we didn't travel all that way for nothing. Can't wait to go back!

I'm Huge!!!!

According to my mother in law And my mother; I'm Huge!! I really am and I feel so lucky to be at this stage. Any day now, I can have this baby. I'm so excited, So Ready!!! At almost 37 weeks, he weighs over 6 lbs. For the last month, I've been drinking Ensure and trying to be good. I've only snuck away and driven my car twice. (You have no idea how much I miss driving!) I realize now that at any moment, he will be here; so I'm trying to enjoy the last of my "Me" time. There's nothing like reading a good book in your favorite pj's. I can't believe they still fit. Right about now, not much does. But I don't really care.. Wish me luck!

Happy Belated Daddy's Day ....
