Home for the Holidays Two-a-day

12/23/12 On Sunday we had yet another brunch date in the morning.  This time we headed to Pleasant Hill to Jack’s. This was our first time there, but Elaine is a regular (and my family has been a few times, too).  It’s hugely family friendly (I think every group had one or more babies), plus they have a ton of space and they play football.  In other words, it’s perfect. I got two poached eggs with hash browns and toast.  The best part was playing with Elaine’s 4 month old, Cooper.  He’s such a sweetie… Read more >

Weeks 27 – 33

For our baby boy

On Saturday, December 8th, Kyle and I were joined by some of our best friends to celebrate our little bundle of joy. In just 8 weeks, he will be here…unless some of our friends’ guesses are correct… His due date is 2/7/13, but I’m a numbers freak, so I’m hoping it’s a multiple of 5.  Unless it’s the 15th.  I have a gut feeling about January 30th, but who knows.  I bet a dollar on it though.  🙂 Our friends also tried to guess his length & weight, as well as his name. I can… Read more >
