Babies throw kick-ass parties!!

Wow...what a day! Thank you to all our wonderful friends and family that made it out to our 'new life celebration'! Special thanks to the Walshe family extraordinaire for hosting in their lovely backyard. What a mid-day feast in the sun .... with BBQ pizza, taquitos, pita, gin & tonics and much more. It has been really overwhelming with all the endless support we have felt from our families and friends, we can not thank you enough and neither can our impending bambino.

We have some tallied some votes with predictions of a boy (14) out wieghing a girl (12), the earliest birth date being Sept 15 and latest Oct 5, and the weight ... lets just say our height and 'athleticism' made for some hefty numbers!! We are still collecting the songs for the lil' ones first playlist upon its arrival from some traveling friends and will include the list of potentials on our next posting.

The past 36 weeks ... give or take

Given that a large majority of our closest friends and family live across many oceans or at least the country ... and a handful more making transitions away from the great West Coast right around the time our trio is expanding, we will do our best to keep everyone up to date here. We are slightly behind given that we are about at the one more month to go mark but alas lets fill you all in....
