Lucky 7

We are at the seven month mark of our pregnancy. We have entered the last trimester. Things are going super. I am up to 106lbs, I have gained about 11lbs so far. Our daughter Tessa weighs 2lb 4oz and is in excellent shape. Daddy painted Tessa's room so we will be getting pictures of that up soon. Oh, the doctor also said that the placenta previa has been resolved. YEAH!!!! I am feeling super and Daddy has been very helpful in keeping me feeling good.

30 and 1

What a busy weekend we had. We celebrated our FIRST wedding anniversary and Ryan's 30th birthday. WOW! Ryan's twin brother Nathan and his wife Jenoa and Asher stayed for the weekend to celebrate both events. It was a lot of fun getting to spend time with all of them and getting the feel of having a toddler in the house. Ryan and Candace ate some of their wedding cake to celebrate their first year together. Jenoa and Candace made a cake with 60 candles for the boys after they took them to dinner at Lou Malnati's. We hope to see them again real soon!

One Year in Maui

To celebrate our one-year wedding anniversary, we decided to take a trip to Maui. We were very busy with tons of activities. We snorkeled and saw many beautiful fish, and even a sea turtle! We did an authentic luau where we ate raw fish and a pig that was cooked under the sand. We survived the road to Hana with 617 turns and 56 one-lane bridges, and ended that journey swimming in the seven sacred pools. We tried lots of different local foods, but our tastes took us back to the old-time favorite...pizza! For our last meal together, we ate at Matteo's Pizzeria which serves authentic brick oven Napoli pizza. And to top it all off, we got to spend the week with Bob, Patti, Lori, and Mark....two of Candace's sisters and their husbands. We got home and slept for 12 hours and started back to normal.
