Well done you guys!!!

That is so awesome that you got a house...and it sounds phenominal!! It was nice to have that quick visit with you when I came to drop off the arbor...we need to get together more often....phone us sometime... So ya, when do you get to move in???

I love the pic of Angelina the night of our wedding!! She looked so riled up... she had a lot of fun playing with Carly and vice versa...

Other than working, we are still trying to get our house back in order... we had it spotless and believe it or not, clutter free before the wedding and then the decorations and presents took over... I have been so busy with figuring out our pictures and trying desperatly to get all of our thank you cards out...by the way... I have one for you guys!!! :) (at least yours is done)...

I thought I wouldn't know what to do with my time after the wedding, but I guess I was wrong... for a while anyways. Did you take any pictures Keira??? if so, can I get your copies?? either through email, or on a CD... Thanks!

Hey Garcia Family

It was so great to see you at Ang and Bryce's wedding although our visit was not long enough. You all look great and congrats on the pregnancy as well as your new house. When do you get to move in? Angelina looks adorable in all of the pictures, so must be so much fun to play with and quite entertaining.

I am back in the Okanagan at least for another 2 years. I got accepted to UBCO for their elementary education program and will be moving to Kelowna later this summer. As for now I am staying with my parents.

Hopefully sometime soon we can all get together and catch up. I'd love to hear all your news and of course see Angelina again.

Take care,
Lindsay

Long time no speak

Heya,

WOW Keira, you have A LOT of exciting news that I did not know about!! I still check this blog about once a week and I never post because honestly I lead a boring life. Especially compared to yours!! WOW a new baby!!! :D are you guys gonna find out the sex before it's born or wait? I know you guys were torn between this last time.

I am still just working at NONA almost full time, which I LOVE btw, and hanging out with the gang, drinking margaritas and so on.

OMG Angelina seems so awesome!! She is sooo big and can do so much it astounds me!!

AND OMG you guys bought a house?!! Awesome! And it's in Winfield! I know how much you really loved it there! I'll have to come and go to the beach with you guys one day :P that's great news to hear!

We all just celebrated Hailey's first bday yesterday! It was so great! I will send you guys pictures on here soon of her and her chocolate cake! She doesn't like to get dirty that much, so she was hesitant at first, but grandma (my mom) helped her out and smeared it around, and then Hailey started to really like it! Before she started to cry a bit :P well anyway, she got TONS of great gifts (and I went WAY overboard) and it was a great time!

I hope all is well with everyone else! And I'll keep reading for news on here! PS. Keira, I'm not a fan of facebook because nothing is private anymore and that really bothers me, but a lot of others are doing it.

More!

As if yesterday wasn't already the coolest day ever becuase of the ultrasound, we also bought our first home. I didn't mention it before becuase it wasn't finalized yet.

Last week we decided to think about possibly buying. Then on Saturday we went to an open house, then back on Sunday, saw the mortgage broker on Monday, made an offer Tuesday (rejected), made a bigger offer Wednesday, signed the papers Thursday. Wow.

So now we are the proud owners of an awesome home in Winfield. Ah Winfield, we've missed you. The place is brand, brand new, and the building isn't even finished yet. It has enormous floor-to-ceiling windows, stainless steel appliances, and a bunch more spiffy nice features. The best part is that it is right beside an enormous beach and park, bigger and nicer even than Paddlewheel.

So yesterday was one smokin' awesome day.

I know I should get onto that Facebook. Even the other parents in our gang use it to organize get-togethers. I did finally go check it out and even signed up, but that's as far as I got really. It doesn't seem that great but it must be, it's so popular. Do you all use Facebook?

Two Wonderful

Yes, in case there's anyone out there who still doesn't know, I am halfway through my second pregnancy! In fact I had my ultrasound today and confirmed that I am more pregnant than I thought. My due date is now December 3rd.

Here is my baby's beautiful face, facing the camera and slightly upward. The top of the head is the left side. The short, thick white straight line is the outline of baby's nose. This looks like Matt's nose, not Angelina's and mine! Eyes are to either side of the top of the nose. The two line things below (to the right of, in this picture) baby's head are the little arms with hands tucked under the chin; this is one of the only pictures of the baby not sucking on fingers!

What a gorgeous creature. Now that I've seen it I can't wait to meet my new baby, snuggle that tiny body and kiss those sweet cheeks.

Angelina is the coolest, funnest, sweetest little buddy we could have and we love her so much it drives us crazy. I can't believe that soon we're going to have two! It's mind-blowing to think how much fun and happiness we'll have. I am so lucky!

Facebook has taken over!!!

Party 'til You Drop

Ang and Bryce got married Canada Day weekend. It was a wonderful wedding and Ang looked gorgeous. Anglina had a blast and stayed up all night playing with everybody. Here she is when we finally went home at midnight, ready for bed but still having fun!
She's talking like a maniac now, and learns a new word every day. I told her what a booby was once and now she always points to my chest and says "booby!" Ooops! The other day Angelina was eating lunch and I left the room for a minute. When I came back she was holding a cracker up to her teddy bear's mouth and saying "eat, eat!" She is so awesome.

Yay, thanks for posting Kirsten. Angelina is asleep right now but when she's up I'll call you and make a date! Fun fun!

I will check out that book as soon as I'm finished David Copperfield. It takes me awhile to read a book, I only squeeze in a few pages during Angelina's naps.

well ok. I"ll post

hmm, Well Drew and I have moved to a nice 2 bedroom place in lynn Valley. It has a nice fenced yard for Lola to play in.
Drew has changed his schooling and is now becoming a lawyer. thank god. LOL I don't want to work any longer. I'm so sick of having to get up and wipe asses.
I saw Matt and Keira when they came up and we had sushi and had a little visit. it was nice. I'm coming up to Armstrong tomorrow for a week. so anyone wanting to hook up leave me a message on my e-mail. kirstenanddrew@gmail.com
I really don't have much to say as I"m really quite a boring person.
but yeah. Keira I suggest you read a complicated kindness by marium towss. its very good and I think you would get a kick out of it.
but yes,
thats about it.

Somebody Else Blog!

For a few weeks I stopped blogging and people kept telling me to do it again becuase they like to read it. I didn't even know anybody was still reading this thing. How could I know, when nobody else leaves any posts?

It's summer, and I know you are doing stuff. What is it? Please tell me, it's boring being the only one who blogs.

We've been busy with weddings, playdates, and all kinds of fun stuff. I have about a month's worth of pictures, here are a few:
