Weekend

Hey I hope you and Sarah had a nice weekend. I know I did. It was nice seeing mom and dad. Makes me really sad - I didn't know how good it was to have the family be so close... now that I never get to see anyone - it really means a lot... just the little things. So I hope you and Sarah had a nice weekend too. I know mom is trying to get ready for Thanksgiving and she is excited to host it! She has to pick up the turkey today... maybe you can remind her... she didnt pick it up because she was in Arizona, and now she has to buy it and IMMEDIATELY defrost it too!

Anywho - stop by and really enjoy the time w/ mom and dad. I am really sad that I dont get it more often.... but it was my idea to move, so I guess the saying is... dont cry for me Argentina... :`(

Anywho... please update with more pictures of your daughter! Mom showed me a whole bunch from the wedding, Texas, and just cute ones of little Ellie... I really cannot get enough... Everytime you upload more - she is bigger! It is crazy! I love you both, and wanted to wish you all well, I miss you!!!

Gifts - being sent home

Hey guys, I am sending gifts home with mom and dad. Ellie's Christmas gifts from Derek and I, as well as Sarah's birthday present. Due to airline security, I cannot wrap them before hand... so mom said she'll take care of that. I just wanted to give you a heads up that they are on the way.

PS - Your Christmas Present will arrive shortly to your home. (I haven't put in the order yet because I dont want it to arrive soooo early, but just wanted to give you notice!)

MOM AND DAD ARE COMING!!!

Hey I heard that you are watching mom and dad's pup- very nice of you! Sounds like this trip shouldn't be too pricey either! Tommy is lending them a car, a place to stay, and you are sitting the pooch! Pretty cool! Anywho, hope he isn't too much trouble for you to watch! I know with my little guy he won't go to the restroom unless you are with him... and new people distract him from doing his outdoor plumbing. Anywho, just wanted to say that is sweet of you two, and I hope you have a really nice weekend!

ALBUM IS DONE!

Our wedding album has been submitted. I just noticed that they had the date wrong! How unobservant of me! I was so focused on my name - and the pictures - I didn't even check the date! But now it is fixed - and off to the presses... I just have to decide the paper type... matte or varnish. I am not sure of the difference - as I haven't seen them in person - the designer recommends varnish as the Matte can "blow out" anything that is white... as my dress adn a lot of the background is white... Varnish may be the way to go...

Grumier old men

Weird argument about the fence... good luck w/ crab man crabby shack! People can be strange...

Well mom and dad love the anniversary, Christmas gift. Mom got all emotional while reading the gift outloud... started crying- not quite hysterics... but some of the heave ho- sobs. Pretty cool! I am keeping my happy thoughts for warm weather, and have advised mom and dad to dress in layers... though it gets to be 80* by 4-5 PM... it takes all day to warm up to that temperature... and quickly drops about 15* once the sun goes down... so when they are taking off - it will be probably 45-55* and warm up to maybe 65* by the time the air balloon trip is over... it won't be like 80* until the end of the day.... what can I say? Zona is weird too!

Lazy animals!

Derek and I have been busy cleaning and decorating -- for the upcoming holiday season... and in preparation of mom and dad's visit! But this is what our animals have been doing!

Wedding Album

My album is coming along... EXCITING STUFF!

The response from the designer is really awesome - and fast! She was able to make some quick fixes - and so now it is nearing completion - only 6 pages of 40 left... with some minor tweaks... but this is gonna ROCK!

OOOO New pictures!

OMG Ellie looks soo cute! It was soo nice to talk to you yesterday, and catch up! I have the 5x7 picture of Ellie w/ her birth announcement in my cubicle at my desk! So I can look at my pretty niece all day long! That would be an excellent gift idea too! (You can mail me a Christmas pick of all three of you! 5x7 would be nice! *hint, hint*)
