Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Kat and I are very thankful for the addition of our baby girl to begin our family! We are also very thankful for our family and friends to which we can count as the keys to our happiness, health, and well being! Happy Holidays and have fun shopping!

It's Been A Long Time....

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay - it's been awhile since I last posted! It's been difficult since I went back to work at the beginning of November to keep up with everything... Anyhow, here are some pics from Ava's first Pumpkin Carving/Halloween/Leading up to her turning 2 months on 10/13! I will try to be a little more consistent with the postings - hope you enjoy the updates!

Halloween @ Santana Row - 10.28

My mom's birthday is next week and we wanted to take my mom out for brunch before I have to head back to work (very sad to see me type that). We decided to take her to eat at Santana Row which coincidentally was also holding their "Mommy and Me: Halloween Trick or Treat Fest!". Ava got dressed up in her kitty kat outfit (Kat and mini-kat) to go get some free loot so her dad can eat it. Kat's parents also came along...so it was a grandparent love-fest at Santana Row! Here are some pics from the festivities...

Hi all,

Going through the blog - I realized that I may have not allowed everyone to freely add in comments - I have revised the settings to allow for all to comment w/o signing in etc...

Hope that helps!

Pumpkin Patch 08!

The annual tradition of going to the Pumpkin Patch happened this past Sunday! Our friends and their families all came to jump in the bouncers...pick out our pumpkins...and just catch up.
Ava came for her first ever Pumpkin event...and pretty much slept through the whole thing...go figure.

Ava-Licious!

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the lags in posting! Free time has been very scarce between feedings/changing diapers/good ol' playtime/and sleepy time for everyone!

Well, Ava has just passed the one month mark! Things that have changed are:
-She now weighs 7 lbs 14 oz (that is an improvement over her initial birthweight of 6 lbs 15 oz.
-Playtime - Ava loves to play around for awhile now -usually in the morning when both Kat and I are still sleepy from the evening feedings! Her favorite areas are her Rainforest Bouncer and Jungle Gym!
-She has already traveled to San Francisco and gets tired of walking around the City.

Other than that - the rest have been the same! She's a little bundle of joy for us both! We want to thank everyone who have already dropped by to say "Hi" as it has been great to share her with you all!

Best,
Link & Kat & Ava
