Pool Time

I started swimming lessons this summer because Mommy wanted me to be pool safe for our trip to Hawaii. I'm just glad I am taking lessons because I love to swim. I was a little hesitant at first, but once I saw the other ninos swimming, I knew I wanted to join them. My swim teacher's name is Josh. He is s nice guy and let's me go at my own pace. I'll be swimming like Nemo in no time.

New Digs

Now that my brother is in a big boy bed, he wanted his own room. Mommy let choose which room I wanted and I chose to switch rooms. It's really fun to sleep in a new room now.

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...
