Away We Go

Lately we've been spending our weekends at home relaxing. I'm getting bigger and slowing down quite a bit, and Pat is working his tail off. So renting a movie has become pretty exciting. Ha! We watched Away We Go this past weekend. We liked it. Quirky movie about two 30-somethings that are expecting their first baby. They are a little lost, but together they find their own way - which maybe is what being a family is all about.

Pat is now obsessed with Alexi Murdoch who does a lot of the music in the movie.

Two More Months To Go

Two more months to go until Baby D arrives. We are busy getting everything ready and so far so good. We have set aside some time right before the baby arrives to get some sleep, the biggest recommendation from all parents we know. My belly has been growing, the baby has been kicking and daddy has been doing a lot of hard work around our place. We are a happy family already. : )

Good Reads = Good Eats

Just finished these two books. They are both fascinating. I love learning about food and the impact it has on the environment, society and consumers. I recommend them if you are interested in where your food comes from and what is in it.

Pat and I also really liked the movie King Corn. It is about industrial farming in the United States, specifically corn. It is really scary how many chemicals supposedly go into corn syrup. Food buyer beware.

Wedding Weekend

Pat and I spent the weekend up in the wine country for a fun filled wedding weekend. My friend Michelle and her new hubby Tom are the cutest couple and I could tell they had as much fun at their wedding as all their guests did! Friday night was a BBQ at DuMol winery and the reception on Saturday was at the Mayacama Golf Club - one of the most beautiful places ever! What a perfect wedding!

Hope you are enjoying your honeymoon Mr. and Mrs. McNeil!!

I heart my roomie!

Meeting my roommate in college was total fate. I joined a sorority my freshman year, but did not move into sorority housing until my sophomore year. After the first year, my group of close friends in the sorority all choose to drop out and opted to get an apartment. I decided to stick it out. Noelle called me and asked me to live with her - I honestly had to ask around to find out who she was, and I think she did the same. From move-in day on we both knew that we totally lucked out! We never once got in a fight or ever had an issue. We lived together for 3 years and were best friends.

Noelle came up for the baby shower and it was so fun to see her. Noelle is also pregnant and is due in January! It is so fun to be prego with such a close friend. I just wish she lived closer! Love you Noelle!

Out of Town Visitors

We had some wonderful out of town visitors for the baby shower. Pat's cousin Jamie, her husband Jacob and the amazing walking Ewan from LA. Pat's mom and step-dad from Arizona. My roommate from college, Noelle, also from Arizona. We had so much fun - wish the weekend was longer. Come back!

Beautiful Baby Shower

Last Saturday my friend Molly and her mom threw me the most beautiful baby shower ever. I honestly had the time of my life. It was amazing to have people so close to me all get together at one party. And to be showered with love and gifts for Baby D was the icing on the cake! Thanks for everything! Baby D loves you!
