Anniversary #2

So it's kind of late, but I realized I never updated you all on what we did for our second Anniversary!

You remember how for Anniversary #1 we headed into the AZ desert and went to the Grand Canyon, right? Well... For Anniversary #2 we did something a little more "tropical" and headed to Dana Point to catch the ferry over to Catalina Island for the weekend :).

If you take a look at the hundreds of pictures we took, you will see just how beautiful the island is and how amazing our trip was :). Since we were 17 weeks pregnant at this point, we didn't want to do anything "too crazy". So we walked all over Avalon (our port of call) and hiked for 1.5 hours up the mountain to make it the Wrigley Memorial Gardens at the top. See... nothing too crazy ;).

We had an over all amazing Anniversary weekend and it was almost like a 2nd honeymoon, minus certain honeymoon aspects and add extra trips to the ladies room, lol! We all dubbed this our "First family vacation". Even though baby is not quite able to enjoy it himself yet. One day, when he's walking possibly, we'll take him back to Catalina so he can enjoy it himself ;). We ARE also renting a golf cart next time we go so we don't have to hike everywhere and loose the feeling in our feet again, lol!

There was so much to do in Catalina but most of the activities were water-based. You become very limited in your activities during pregnancy however. So we will have to come back "post baby" and try again for more fun things to do.

Well,I hope you have enjoyed our "10 cent tour". Please check out the pictures as they are all captioned. And do come again ;).

Home Projects:

So I know I keep redirecting you all to the secondary blog for all the baby details. But it's time I leave something on this blog just for you all ;).

Home Projects 2010


We have been at it again folks. As time time draws nigh and we get closer to meeting the boy, we realize there are still may changes, upgrades if you will, that we want to make on our home. Yes, Joe has been adding some of these same pics to the Home album here on Picasa, but he doesn't have all of them. I had been tracking the progress and logging the photos on the Facebook album I created when I started to realize that we had more home projects than just putting the nursery together before the baby arrived.

Please enjoy the pics and let us know what you think!
