Rebecca's Bridal Shower...

My friend Rebecca's Bridal Shower was last Saturday. It was such a beautiful afternoon shower and she got so much great stuff. Rebecca is getting married this December in London. I wish I we could make it to the ceremony. Congratulations Rebecca and James!

So sexy!

Matthew's First Easter...

I don't know who was more excited for Matthew's first Easter...Mike and I, or Matthew. Matthew was a very lucky boy, as the Easter Bunny came bearing lots and lots of gifts. It was so much fun watching Matthew tear apart his Easter basket. He absolutely loved his new cell phone.

We had Easter dinner at our place this year. We sat down to a lovely turkey dinner. Grandma and Grandpa Goodrich, Grandpa Phil, and Greg and Christie joined us for the festivities. What a great day!

"He is Risen!"

Our family on Easter

Happy 2nd Birthday to Hudson...

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Willis...

Jamie and I met in nursing school and have been good friends ever since. After graduating, we worked as "new grads" in the PICU at CHOC. We had "way too much fun" working nights and sometimes our silliness got us in trouble. We weren't allowed to work on the same side together. Jamie is very silly and eccentric, which makes me love her that much more. After working at CHOC for several years, Jamie got a "wild hair" and moved to London to be a travel nurse. WHAT???? Anyway, it was "meant to be", as Jamie fell in love there. Jamie and Robin wed on April 3rd at Calmigos Equestrian Center in Los Angeles. The ceremony and reception were absolutely amazing. Jamie and Robin were just glowing and so much in love. What an amazing day. Congratulations, love birds!

Feeding Time at The Finston Zoo...

It's nice to know that Matthew has learned how to share at such an early age. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.... Now, when I give him something to eat, he just proceeds to feed Pauli. Needless to say, Pauli loves feeding time more than Matthew does. She has been getting a lot of handouts these days.

Good Clean Fun...

Matthew's most favorite thing to do these days is play in the sink. We got a new faucet and he just loves the little squirter attachment. It is histerical to watch him spray himself down. He just laughs and laughs and laughs! I love to watch him have so much fun.
