10-22 My Birthday
10-31 Halloween
11-01 Our Anniversary
It's always a fun and busy time of year for us. With Emily in the mix, it was even more fun!
My 30th birthday:
It was a Friday, and it was actually quite an eventful day. I worked most of the day and took care of Emily. Later that day we had Emily's 6 month photo shoot (a little early as she isn't quite 6 months yet). That went okay (she had a few meltdowns as usual). I'm still awaiting photos, but hopefully she got some good ones.
Afterwards, Jim's parents generously offered to watch Emily for us while we went out for a nice dinner. We went to Kona Grill and let me tell you....that place is great! We ordered some avacado eggrolls and potstickers for appetizers, split the macademia nut chicken for an entree (it's huge and comes with a pile of mash potatoes and veggies - definitely a good idea to split), and then split a huge serving of apple bread pudding cake. Holy crap that dessert was good!! We were stuffed.
We then went back to his parents and had a cocktail and talked. Emily pretty much slept for them the whole time (it was her bedtime), so that was nice! Overall it was a good day.

Halloween:
Halloween is always a fun time of year for us. We get lots of trick or treaters come by and we love to carve our pumpkins and put out are few, yet cute decorations. This year was even more fun since it was Emily's first!
Prior to Halloween we of course purchased her costume. And let me tell you....she did NOT like it. See for yourself....introducing our "Lil' Hotdog"!
The time up to Halloween day I practiced putting her in the costume occasionally so that she would get used to it. I ended up swaddling her first then putting her in it and that seemed to do the trick. That and dancing around the house with her...
In the Halloween spirit

Our 2nd Anniversary:
It was a Monday and after a busy birthday the week before and a fun Halloween weekend, we decided to just lay low. We had a regular 'ol night at the homestead with some take out Mediterranean food (which was totally delicious) and some tv watching. Just a fun little night with my family, can't ask for anything more.
It was a gorgeous day November 1, 2008. One of the best days of our lives! I love you Jim!
