Happy Six Months!

Our little man is 6 months and a few days now, how time flies. As you all can see he is sitting up without support. Teething is in full force with the 2 bottom pushing their way through-I can't wait to get through this. I feel so bad for Zasha during this time his appetite and sleep has been affected, he still has a great personality with some of the cutest faces. This morning hurricane Ike made landfall near Galveston Island and Houston, those poor people near the coast. Our hearts go out to all those affected we know first hand the devastation that these storms are capable of. Sometime in the night Ike shifted further east which gave us much needed relief. Here in Austin there is just a little wind for now and maybe some rain later this afternoon.

I hear Wedding Bells

Today Stan received a phone call from Chris (Stan's very best friend since grade school) stating that he proposed to Jess last night while on a camping trip. I think Stan will have to give Chris away on his wedding day, I don't believe Stan could have been any happier receiving this news! For those of you whom were at our wedding Chris was Stan's Best Man and had the greatest speech ever. So for you Chris, we would like to say "Congratulations, Good luck and we hope that you will be as happy as we are! "Jess, we would like to welcome you, best wishes and can't wait to finally meet you. We've heard many great things about you.

Chris and Jess always remember love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time,

destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end. Lots of Love to you both!!!

Welcome New Bloggers!

Finally my list is getting longer. Kylene and then Gwen decided to become part of the blog community. Yeah!! It's nice to see new postings of what is going on in everyones busy lives as well as those cute pictures. Last night we got our web cam going and had the opportunity to see The Burger Bunch live. Zasha was really interested in watching little Brian and Maddie as we sent little cartoons back and forth. What fun! Even though we are so far away communication is better than it ever was. Things are good with us even though I haven't found a job yet, something will come along and I also have to remember we've been here only 3 weeks today. I will post some Texas scenery pictures for you all to see the Beautiful Hill country and hopefully I'll get out there and take more soon. Keep blogging!

This is going to be hard to come up with ideas. Here we go..........................

Random Fact #1:

I love nature, long walks on the beach, the woods and nature trails. Something about mother nature and her creatures intrigue me. It makes me feel closer to life. I don't know if that sounds weird or not ........that's me.

Random Fact#2:

Family and closeness of others makes my life complete. My family means so much to me. My Boys (Stan & Zasha ) are #1. No one could have told me how me life would be having a child, he is the greatest gift that God could give.My life is so complete.

Random Fact #3:

I love Italian food, and I'm not Italian....go figure. I could eat pasta every night of the week and my thighs would tell the story.

Random Fact #4:

Anyone who knows me well knows that earlier in life I loved horror films,
Nightmare on Elm Street was my favorite. Since Stan and I have been together(9yrs.) he only watches comedies now I am afraid of watching scary movies.

Random Fact #5:

I am a pacifist. I avoid confrontation and always try to keep peace among others as well as myself. You can call me a people pleaser if you wish, I strive to keep people happy even if it compromises my own happiness and needs. It is a down fall that I have and I strive to come to a happy median.

Random Fact #6:

I am a Neat FREAK....or so Stan tells me. I like everything to have a place and every place to have a thing. When we have company the house has to be just so. Every now and then Stan reminds me that PEOPLE LIVE HERE.

Erin does this count as a BONUS?

Random Fact #7:

My favorite holiday is Halloween for some strange reason. Yes, I love Christmas and all the rest .I just enjoy seeing the children dressed in their costumes and having so much fun getting their treats instead of giving tricks. I guess it just brings me back to my childhood remembering my mom, grandma and uncle making our costumes and having so much fun. Erin I'm sure you remember the year we both won Best Costume for our age groups. Erin was the Chiquita Banana Girl and I was 1/2 Man 1/2 Woman from the Almond Joy Commercial. Some times you feel like a nut, some times you don't. Those were the good days!

Well those are my random facts, hope you have fun with them. Now, I'm going to TAG my mother in-law Susan and friend Chip. Let's see what they can come up with.

My Little Man

We have hit an exciting milestone today! Zasha learned to roll from his back to his belly all by himself. Yeah!!! Yesterday Zasha and I ventured to the Lakeline mall where we strolled and picked up applications. It was nice getting out of the house, though of all days mother nature decided to give us much needed rain while we were out. We just had a little sprinkle- every bit helps. Maybe Fay will find her way here and leave Florida and the others alone. Stan is off camping thru Tuesday (Retreat for the Escondido kitchen and waitstaff). Sounds like fun. Zasha and I enjoy our mommy son time together. What will he do when I return working?
