Stephanos moved into his room...

Stephanos is now sleeping in his own bed, night #2. He got up around his usual time of 3:45am looking for his binkie. He has a queen bed in his room, so I joined Miller and slept in there till 6:30am, then moved back to my room. That bed is so comfy! Stephanos loves stretching out in his crib. He was too big for his bed in our room. Saying good-bye to one of his first newborn stage is hard. I don't want him to grow up so fast like his be sister did. Today Amelia started saying "Marcia" over and over. Also some new phrases are, "Sorry guys..." "Ohhhhe (when something doesn't go her way)" She also has big attitude and is in this hitting kicking phase. Can't she stay a little person forever???

Jen's Birthday Dinner

I'll tell you what, the way to go at maggiano's is family style!! We had bruschetta and calamari with a vegetable sausage soup and spinach salad followed up but a chicken penne alfredo dish and lasagna for 19.95 a person and did I forget to mention that it's all you can eat. Ridiculous we have leftovers for today also. Oh yeah and Happy Birthday to my wife, friend and love of my life!!!

Funny moment...

Last night I was chasing Amelia down the hall....she turns to me and says "No mama, you go in da kitchen and make dinner." She stopped me in my tracks and Straty and I looked at eah other and just laughed. She's one crazy kid! Every meal now is dinner. I've been trying to teach her breakfast and lunch, but to her, it's all dinner! Both kids are sick, so tomorrow we are resting and enjoying the park. Stephanos has been officially sitting up on his own for weeks now. He's started the crying every time I leave the room. He loves to snuggle and reaches out for everything to feel. He even reaches his arms up to be held. What a cutie.

Happy Daddy's Day!

It was such a beautiful day in CA! No better way to spend it then at the beach followed by Straty's baseball game, where they won!!! "Go Daddy Go!" Amelia shouts many times cheering on her Daddy. Happy Dad's day to my amazing Dad who is so fun watching being Papa. To Strary is amazes me with our children and all the fun things he does with them when I'm working. To Papou whom we don't get to see often, but Amelia talks about dearly and loves to play her musical instruments with, like the harmonica. We love you all and are so blessed you are in our lives. It's been very busy for me. I'm really trying to lunch my Stella and Dot business. I have a conference next month in San Fran again. I'm also a Project Manager to two home projects. One being Krista and Drew's new house. We gutted it and are making it their dream home. I'm enjoying working with contractors and interior design. Our kids are amazing, because they have to run around with me to the different stores and meetings at the houses. They deserve a big day at Disneyland!!!! It's been fun, but very crazy! The days go by sooo fast!!!!! Thank you babe for keeping up on the blog. The photos are awesome! love you

The really, really, really big ship

Then we went to the country club for a nice lunch and later that eveing when to the fierro's where we saw little vincent and had an incredible lamb chop dinner. on sunday we went to my softball game which we won then over to the johnsons to watch the game go celtics.

Memorial Day Weekend 2010

Boy oh boy it goes by so fast!!!! Friday we did an imprompto bbq for the Mckown's who are moving to Fallbrook CA, we are going to miss them but might even see them more now since you take for granted what is right in front of you until it isn't as accessible anymore. Saturday the family met at the OC fairgrounds under the assumption we could go to the farm and see animals as well as take in some bluesy/jazz music unfortunately the farm was sectioned off due to a scottish festival going on, so we enjoyed the music then walked around the huge, i mean huge swap meet, it must have been a mile square of vendors, we went down two rows, there are like 20 rows then to the produce and got some of the sweetest strawberries. Where else can you get two of the flexible cutting boards for $1. Then NANA decided that Amelia needed the dogs. It's one of the electric toys that moves the dogs from the bottom to the top then they slide down which in itself would have been great but the annoying barking noise it makes drove me quite mad this weekend, i think amelia wore out a battery already oh no because NANA bought a spare one-oh the humanity:) On Sunday we took Goldie to the Beach enjoyed the great weather another BBQ and then built a huge sand castle, stephanos oversaw the endeavor while the family all pitched in. On monday we kind of kicked back and met for lunch at the country club where amelia really enjoyed throwing the golf balls all over the putting greens. Thanks for a wonderful weekend good thing we only have to wait 4 days for the next one.

What an amazing weekend started off with a round of golf shot a 79 then two days of beautiful weather and great blues i want to thank my wife for letting me go it's my third time in a row and really enjoy it. I only have some pictures of that being jenny was with the kids
