My little monkey

Here's my godson, Drew on his first Halloween dressed as a monkey, with his father, who is a banana. Isn't he adorable (Drew that is)?

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween from Fred and Wilma Flintstone. We had 2 parties this year to attend so after years of wanting to dress in these costumes (because I thought they would be so perfect for us) we decided to do it. We were a big hit at both parties. I can't wait for next year because baby Pebbles will be here with us :)

California

We're back!!!! We had a blast in Cali! We did and saw things neither of us have ever done before. We arrived on Tuesday. The first 2 days were rainy and cold. It didn't make sight seeing very nice. Tuesday we went to Hollywood Blvd. and took a tour of the Kodak Theatre. We actually stood on the stage where the Academy Awards are held and hung out in the VIP room/bar where the stars hang out before the show. We also took a tour of celebrity homes that day and drove through Beverly Hills, Bel Aire, Holmby Hills, and Hollywood Hills. We ate dinner at a place called "The Stinking Rose". I ate at one in San Franciso when I was in the 8th grade and always remembered it. So when I saw it I had to bring Joe there. Everything is based around garlic. We even ate garlic ice cream (yes it does taste like garlic but it was good). They don't call it the stinking rose for nothing. Wednesday we took a tour of the WB Studios. It was pretty cool to see the sets of where TV shows and movies were filmed. That same day we went to a taping of the Ellen Show. It was really cool and on the show that day were Taye Diggs and Wolfgang Puck. If you watched the show that day you can actually see Joe and I. Thursday we drove 2 hours to San Diego and visited their famous zoo. I have never been to a zoo quite like this one. After the zoo we went to Little Italy which was just a couple blocks away and walked around for a bit and ate dinner. Friday we went to the Santa Monica Pier and ate breakfast by the water. We went back to Hollywood Blvd. and took a walking tour and learned some more history about Hollywood. That night we hung out at our hotel bar, ate dinner, and watched the Yankees win game one of the ALCS. All in all we had a great time!

Sorry this pics are alittle out of order. I will post the whole album later.

Bella's Room

Her room is not complete yet but its almost there. I had the vision for her room before I even knew she was a girl. It was a long process but so worth it in the end. I love the way it came out and can't wait for her to see it. I had to start early because I was doing all the drawing and painting of the mural. Plus I wanted it done before I started holiday shopping so I didn't have to many things to worry about. The first step was Uncle Ed coming and painting the walls for us in September. He did an awsome job! Then I drew the picture on the wall and then painted one color at a time. We got the crib delivered last week and the rocker should come the beginning of November.

22 weeks and a party

Today is my friend Jaclyn's birthday along with Barbara, another co-worker. A bunch of us went out last night to celebrate at "Carlos n Charlies" which they just built in Lake Mary. If you are familiar with the one in Mexico, this one is not as crazy. Afterwards we hung out at a cigar bar. Don't worry we sat outside so I wouldn't inhale so much smoke. It was a beautiful night for sitting outside.

Here I am at 22 weeks before going out
