Red, Blue and White

We had a great time celebrating RED, BLUE and WHITE this last week!
RED
Happy very late 4th of July! We had a great day of swimming, eating and hanging out with Dave's family. I love the 4th of July.
She really is a fire cracker.Waving the red, white and blue.Audrey was desperately trying to get her popsicle to push up!

BLUE
On 7/7/07 we celebrated the upcoming arrival of my second nephew to be. These are Dave's fabulous sisters and Mom. The one holding Audrey is the pregnant one. Hard to tell huh?

WHITE
On Wednesday we celebrated Dave receiving his white coat and being able to treat patients! I am so proud of Dave and all his hard work. He saw his first patient on Thursday, and I am so proud of my Dr. Dave!Being "hooded" with the white coatThank you for coming and supporting us Marianne, Bruce and Kristin!Wahoooo!!! First year is over! Bring on the patients!The wives. We earned these coats too, right?These are my new shoes I got from this fabulous website my sister found called endless.com. I love them, but I didn't think they were blog worthy until Dave told me they were his favorite pair of shoes I have ever owned.Audrey stayed home with my mom so I could enjoy the ceremony. Thanks GranD.

Say Cheese!

A's ad for Baby Gap is out! I think this is my least favorite picture of her EVER, but hey, it will help pay for her college!
I think they messed with her eyes in Photoshop because her eyes do not look like that.
You can see it bigger by going to http://www.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=36354, or just go to BabyGap.com, click on "Baby Girl" then on "Infant Outfitting". This picture was taken on May 9th. Here is a picture of A at the shoot.

I feel kind of lame doing this, but some people have asked me when it was coming out, so here it is. Here is the ad I did for Byer. Not bad that two out of the three outfits are totally modest!

I can't figure out how to that fancy link thing, so you will just have to copy and paste it if you want to see it.

Catching up...

I feel like we have been doing so many fun things during D's break from school and I haven't been keeping up. What a great life we have...


Girls Night! Rebecca recently moved from the city, so she summoned other girls who have recently moved, plus some of us who still live in the city, to her beautiful new home for a night of good good, great friends and lots of laughs.

We went to Discovery Kingdom with Memor, Fafa, Aunt Ritz, Aunt Alli, Aunt Andrea, and of course Nathan. We had a great time and it was fun to watch the dolphin and whale show, but it was SO much fun to watch the kids reactions!
The brave adults went on a fun ride. A kept saying, "hair" because she could see our hair when we flipped upside down!
Thank you Memor and Fafa for such a fun day!

I did it! I made the cover of the Martha Stewart magazine for my dinner group! It was pretty tasty. Thanks for the picture Rachel.

My birthday! I turned 27 on the 27th. It was my Jubliee birthday! D made my day so much fun. We went to breakfast at this great bakery Tartine, then to Costco where I got a new phone, then naps for everyone, and then my sweet sister came and picked up A so D and I could go out to dinner and then we went to see Oceans 13. Perfect, perfect day.

My sister kept A from Wednesday until Friday (thank you Aunt Das, and GranD of course), so D and I took advantage and hiked Mt. Tamalpais on Thursday. We hiked for five hours and had a great time talking and just being together. For those of you who know my husband, know he is a pretty even tempered kind of guy. I have never really seen him loose control of a situation...until now. I present to you, "Dance of the Attacking Hornets":He was using our trail map to swat away the hornets who were "attacking" him. I was laughing so hard I cried. Thank you honey for your wonderful dance. I know it was just for me for my birthday! :)

Some of the beautiful things we saw on the hike:

We went to my parent's house yesterday to celebrate my birthday. I loved it. My mom made my favorite meal (Hungarian goulash...don't ask) and I got to see some of my favorite people, my family! We love the newest addition, little S.
Happy Birthday to me! Thank you everyone who made it so special!

Mexico

I am finally blogging about our fabulous trip to Cancun. We had a great time. A loved spending time with her Daddy, aunts, uncle, and her D and Guy. The weather was perfect, the resort beautiful and I loved spending quality time with my family. We laid by the pool, swam in the Caribbean ocean, went scuba diving, went to Chitzen-itza, Xel-ha, and ate yummy Mexican food. My brother in law makes some mean guacamole and salsa! We missed M, L and little S but we are glad little S is here.


Bubble bath with Aunt Das.

Walk on the beach with Guy and D.


Chitzen-itza
Aunt R and Uncle R snorkeling in Casa Cenote.


Enjoying the beautiful pools! We had A wear a hat, a UV sun shirt, and 50 SPF sunscreen ALL THE TIME. We had to protect our little San Francisco baby from the sun she so rarely sees!
Guy (my Dad wants to be called Grande, but A calls him "Guy"), Aunt R and Uncle R hiding from the sun! It was so nice to be so close to the ocean while relaxing at the pool.

A loves her Daddy. On the airplane all she wanted was him (I didn't complain. I was able to read 150 pages in my book!). I am so grateful for how good he is with her. I love watching them together. They love each other so much. (A is blowing kisses to me while I was taking the picture.)


A checking out her litle footprints. She still got pretty tan even though we went through two big bottles of SPF 50 on her alone!


We had a great time. Thank you D and Guy for such a wonderful trip!

Adios

We are off to Cancun in the morning for a week of sunshine and relaxation. I don't know what the internet situation will be down there, so I will just post LOTS of pictures when I get back. In the mean time, keep looking at my beautiful niece. We will miss you Aunt Mimi and Gooke, but you gotta love that sweet S!!!!!

She's here!!!!

She is here! I have a niece! She is perfect!!! Sweet S was born yesterday at 12:11 pm weighing 7 pounds, 7 oz, and was 20.5 inches long. Isn't she beautiful?

Work hard, play hard...

WAHOOOOO!!!!!!! D's first year of school is finished! I have mixed feelings about how quickly the time is going, but one thing I know for sure....I LOVE SUMMER BREAK!!! D finished his last final last Friday morning and it has been non stop fun ever since. He came home, and we headed up to my family's house for my little sister's high school graduation. A member of my family has been attending that high school for the last 15 years! Not anymore. On Saturday, my sweet, over due pregnant sister called and offered to watch A so D and I could have a date day. We were all hoping that A would put her into labor. No such luck. However, D and I had a great day. We shopped at Nordstrom, ate lunch at the Nordstrom Cafe (I LOVE their California grill sandwich...the bread it is made on tastes like Sizzler cheese bread, need I say more?), and then went to see the The Waitress. It was such a fun day. Thank you so much Aunt Mimi. We finished off our prefect day with going to dinner with D's parents. A was so sleepy from her fun day with Aunt Mimi, Memor and Fafa, that she fell asleep on the way home.
D walking in the door after finishing his last final. We are officially second year dental students!

Congrats Aunt Das! We are so proud of you!
A wearing her new sunglasses we bought her that day. We love Nordstrom half yearly!

On Sunday we had our good friends over for dinner and to play games. I am so sad I don't have a picture. We have been playing games with J and K for the last three years. We would have dinner nights, movie night and game nights with them quite a bit and now they are moving away. It was a sad night. I am so happy for them, but so sad for us.

Yesterday my first niece was born. It was such a perfect day. (See other post) We celebrated D's birthday with his family last night. D's cousin, his wife and kids are visiting from Southern CA so they were able to join us. His wife and I took a dance class together in college (the last one I took before my one here in SF) and we randomly ended up marrying cousins! I love her. We have such a great time together. We went through some nursing school classes together, and she is why I am sane today! She let me draw her blood for the very first time. That is a true friend!

Today D's cousin, wife and kids came to hang out with us here in good 'ol SF. We went to Mama's for breakfast which inevitably means it will be a good day. We then took the kids to the Discovery Museum. The little girls are only six weeks apart and it was so cute watching them together. They loved each other and were so sweet together. While they kids napped, our fabulous husbands insisted that go shopping! We headed to Nordstom, Forever 21 and H&M...the one time that we can go shopping and there wasn't ONE thing for both of us! I found a dress for D's upcoming white coat ceremony, but poor Meg couldn't find anything. Ironic isn't it? Like Alanis Morissette said, "It's like rain on your wedding day, it's a free ride ride when you've already paid..." I would like to add one..."It's like when your husbands are home watching your babies and you are with your great friend you only get to see once a year and both of your husbands really wanted you to buy something for yourself, and there is nothing really cute to buy!" Sing about that Ms. Morisette.
Anyway, we brought home some Indian food and then took the kids for a walk. It was such a fun day!

I love summer break!
