One last hoorah...

Since my baby brother will be here in less than 2 weeks, Mommy and Daddy have been taking me on many wonderful adventures. From choo choo rides to balloon rides to carousel rides, we've been having so much fun spending time together. We are excited to welcome my little brother soon, but we are trying to relish in the last few weeks of it just being the 3 of us. We also visited the Mission in San Juan Capistrano today because Mommy has a list of things she wants to do and see before my brother arrives. I can't wait for my brother to get here so we can have wonderful adventures with him too.

Choo Choo - All Aboard!

Since I love watching "choo choo's" and my little brother will be here in a few weeks, Mommy and Daddy took me for a fun filled day to LA Steamers and Travel Town at Griffith Park. It was so much fun! I got to ride on the little choo choo and the bigger choo choo. I had a great day and I hope they take me back soon.

Trains and Horses

Grandpa John and Mommy took me to Irvine Regional Park today to ride the horses and train. It was so much fun and I enjoyed them both. I did not even cry when I rode the horse. The train ride is always fun too!

About Mommy & Daddy

Mommy and Daddy met on Nov 22, 2002. Mommy had just moved back to Southern California from San Francisco and was working in Irvine. Daddy was living and working in Newport Beach. Mommy had invited one her my co-workers, who happened to be Daddy's roommate, to join up with her and her friends in Las Vegas. Daddy accompanied his roommate to Vegas and it was an instant connection after they met. They were inseparable. After a year and half courtship, they got engaged. They were married on Sept 24, 2005. They were enjoying blissful married life filled with travel. After almost 4 years of marriage, they decided it was time to start a family. This is where I come into the picture. I am due on Nov 11, 2009. Mommy and Daddy have no idea what there in for...
