Ethan’s first Christmas was filled with photos. We took about a million photos, as first time parents. Here are some of the highlights. Here are some of the portraits we had taken for Ethan’s First Christmas.

M’s Best Friends
I’m actually writing this blog entry on March 13, 2010. I had to back date it to the actual date because it took me this long to actually be able to write it. And even waiting this long I the tears are falling as I type. Romeo and Bella were my dogs. Of course, they Continue reading
Ethan’s First Thanksgiving
Once again, Ethan was the star of the show. Everyone loved seeing him this Thanksgiving. Everyone wanted to hold him, everyone wanted pictures, everyone laughed. I have so much to be thankful for this year. I love that I get to spend the holiday with my mom’s side of the family again. I’m so grateful Continue reading
Peanut’s First Halloween
Ethan’s first Halloween started out with an office party at Arup. All the kids were so cute. The big kids were great too! I love that everyone is so festive. Pete and Leslie won for the best costume and they deserve to win – their Flinstone family costumes were awesome! We ended up taking Ethan Continue reading
Ethan’s First LA County Fair
Brian and I decided to take Ethan to the LA County Fair this year. We figure he’s too young to remember but it would be memorable for us, it was a beautiful day to be outside, and it only cost $1 per person to get in on October 4th (the day we went). We had Continue reading
Brian’s Big 3-0 Birthday Weekend
Thirty…while it usually comes with a negative stigma, to me it was just another year gone by. Maureen organized a fantastic party this weekend. I was joined by my mom, dad and brother, friends and of course Maureen and Ethan. We all enjoyed lots of food and drink. The steak, Italian sausages, potato salad and Continue reading
New Videos
Lots of play time + lots of tummy time = a very tired Ethan. Ethan and I spent about two hours on the bed today. We laughed, we talked, we napped, we played, we had a blast. We started off by just laying in bed and staring at each other. Then we giggled and talked. Continue reading
Bella Gets Spayed
Poor Bella Mia. Bella has evaded the vet for quite some time now but the time has finally come – she needed to be “fixed”. I couldn’t think of a better time to do it. I’m not working right now since I’m home taking care of Ethan. I decided it was now or never. She Continue reading
Quality Time
Since my mom died in 2002 I have become somewhat estranged from my mom’s side of the family. It’s odd how a death can either bring a family closer together or tear them apart. In this case, our family has never been quite the same. My mom was somehow the glue that kept our family Continue reading
The Birth Announcement
Everyone warned me about how tired I would be in the days immediately following Ethan’s birth yet somehow I thought I was “tough” and would have no problem sending out the birth announcements right away. HA! I finally sent them out today, nearly 8 weeks after Ethan’s birth. So much for being “tough”. What can Continue reading
