Eliza - 7 months!

I thought I'd continue with the theme of "babies" and post this picture I took of our niece Eliza on Christmas morning. I can't believe she's 7 months old now!! Julie and Jason are two lucky parents, she's the sweetest little girl ever! This is the print I will be giving to J&J for the frame we got them for Christmas. It says "Eliza" on it and was supposed to match the colors and designs of her bedding - its close :) Anyway, more pictures from the Holidays to come...I'll get to it eventually!

Babies!!

Baby Gies has arrived!! Isabel Violette Gies arrived tonight at 7:10pm, Tuesday, January 6th. She weighed 7 lbs 13 oz and was 21 inches long. She has her dad's eyes and mom's lips and gorgeous dark hair! Both mom and baby are doing great!!!!! She's so freaking cute!!

Here is a picture of Ms. Dahlia Rue Rosen, such a beautiful little girl! I think she looks like her dad now but will probably also get her mom's beautiful green eyes and dark curly hair!!!

Congrats to the new parents, I can't WAIT to meet these two beautiful baby girls next weekend!! (Can you tell I'm excited?!)

Baby Gies is Coming!!

According to dad, Baby Gies should be making her way into this world around dinnertime tonight (hopefully!) Kel and Jeff headed to the hospital this morning after labor started... Hopefully it moves as quickly as yesterday's birth did! Best of luck Gies', can't wait to see her! (Pictures to come!)

Happy Birthday!

To my good friend Erica! She's a baby, just 27 :) Happy, Happy Birthday love, hope you have a wonderful day and that hubby of yours makes a damn good birthday dinner! Can't wait to celebrate with you on Friday!!! XOXOXO

Welcome Dahlia!

She made a grand entrance, that's for sure! My wonderful friend Lisa gave birth to her beautiful baby girl Dahlia at 1:33 PST this morning! She arrived in 4 pushes and 33 minutes after Lisa and her husband David arrived at the hospital!! 6 lbs 10 oz, 17.5 inches long and "perfect" according to mom! :) I can't wait to see ( and post) the pictures of her!! Congrats to the new mommy and daddy! Baby Gies, (Kelly and Jeff's) should be arriving as early as tomorrow!! I leave next Friday for Seattle to see all the new babies and celebrate Coffey's upcoming Maui nuptials, can't wait!

Catching Up!

I'll admit it, I've been a bad blogger lately.... I blame it on the holidays, cleaning, tons o' family gatherings and my incessant need to watch Heroes, Season One on NetFlix... But, I'll have you know, I have been documenting all of our activities with photos and have every intention of

posting each event!

I'll start here....

A few weeks back, December 16th (I think) I headed over to see our niece Holly's first ever dance recital. Poor thing still had her cast on from breaking her elbow so her costume changes were a bit challenging for she and Kristen. She was placed on the end of the first act, so I got some great shots of her dancing/standing there being cute :) Her "BIG" recital is in the Spring, I'll have to drag Kev along to that one :) Enjoy the pictures!!

Waiting for her cue...

Opening "move"

She did great despite her clunky cast!

Just being cute :)

Wardrobe change! With family friend Danielle
