Melanie's Wedding

Lisa's friend Melanie Guthrie got married to David Podley on Saturday in Pasadena at the Valley Hunt Club. Lisa was the token 8 months' pregnant bridesmaid.

Here we are with John and Linda Massei.
Check out that baby bump.
It was a lovely day. Best wishes to Melanie and David for the future.

Baby Room

I had the Christmas week off from work and managed to get the baby room finished.
I put up crown moulding, changed all the power outlets to child safety types, set up our old bedroom furniture in the baby room, modified the old double into a single and organised all the shelves in the wardrobe unit.

Lisa likes it, so big brownie points for me. No doubt I'll be needing them soon.
This weekend we're off to Babies R Us (again) to get the essential supplies, car seat and the like.

Ho Ho Ho!

What better way to start Christmas morning than a quick dip in the pool.

And yes! It was bloody freezing.

A couple days ago we had freezing temperatures and the pool is not heated.









Ahhhhh! Warmth
Good thing the hot tub was still heated.

Merry Christmas........

.... and a very Happy New Year

Love and Best Wishes

Bedroom Furniture

On Friday we had our new bedroom furniture delivered. The two delivery blokes thought I was joking when I told them to take it up the stairs. So they wiped the smiles off their faces and got on with the job they were being paid fro. How nice of them!
We spent all day Saturday setting the room up and sorting out clothes that needed to be chucked out. The room looks nice and organised.

32 weeks

We had grand plans for a mini "photo session" with my dad, and thought going to the beach at Ventura would be nice. So we all got in the car and left a perfectly gorgeous day in Santa Clarita - fluffy white and grey clouds, blue skies - to find rain and heavy clouds as we approached the sea. Still, we made the best of it and had a good laugh. I'm about 32 weeks along here, so officially eight weeks to go.

We also picked up our crib and mattress from Babies 'R Us - thanks Mum, Dad and Nan (Sue, Gord and Mary)! - and got it put together. Somer has only tried to get in a couple of times, and Stace promptly told her off.

Showered

I was blessed with a beautiful baby shower Nov. 25. We had about two dozen ladies, and my dad taking photos. The games were cute, the food and cake delicious and the gifts were lovely. I felt very loved! Here are a few photos: At left, we have our hostesses, the Lindas. Above that, a group shot, of most of the group; and on top are my bridesmaids still in California - Kelly and the Melanies.
