...traveling girls

so here they are...some of the latest pictures from the last few weeks. we have been so busy! aaron has been working a few extra shifts and i have traveled to pleasanton a few times for my baby shower, alicia & dustin's wedding, melissa's baby shower and to help aunt fifi...so many fun things. my baby shower was really fun and it was great to see old friends and let people just hold paige and love on her. i saw a few family friends that i had not seen since our wedding. thanks to everyone who came and showered paige with love and presents. alicia & dustin got married in the barn where we had our wedding reception five years ago...it was beautiful and they looked so happy and in love! check out some of the photos taken by the always talented joel & cara flory! melissa & dan will be having their baby boy in four short weeks...we cannot wait for paige's little boyfriend to arrive! this weekend i needed some help from grammy because paige had a tough week. for two days she was either eating, crying or wanting to be rocked. let's just say thursday night when aaron called to check in i was crying from frustration, exhaustion and simply not knowing what to do to make it better. i think she was going through a growth spurt. aaron was wonderful and watched her the next morning while i went to "moms n more" at church. i even snuck in a trip to target! anyways... it is such a blessing to have my parents and sister so close by for help when aaron is working 48 hour shifts! it is an added bonus that i still have so many wonderful friends from high school and church here in pleasanton. i will be adding pictures from our visit to southern california in the next few days. we had so much fun at my cousin kate's wedding (check out my cousin kim's blog for pictures) and seeing friends. plus paige got to meet elsie & carson...a much anticipated event! she also got to meet my friends at fullmer, the christian's, the meadows, some of aaron's friends from santa ana fire academy and of course my mom's entire family who we usually only see once a year! it was great! paige is a great little traveler!

i LOVE this new post. the shot of MARMMM is my fav. she totally is the "baby snatcher," perfect name. No second class, "Hapuna shooty" for Mar. She wants to be #1. And the pic of Paige with Uncle Drew is awesome. I love her little sex suit, she's starting already. :) Love you, K

3rd pic, blue chair with hanging toys. Looks cumfy! I could watch TV while sitting in it.

just to clarify...a few of us in the family like to call velour jogging suites "sex suites" because of an old inside joke among my cousins friends. this is not intended to offend anyone and by no means refers to paige and sex. we have just called them sex suites for so long that we forget that people don't know what we are talking about. someone else called it the J-Lo suite...you can call it what you like! she just looks cute! hope that clears things up- *laura*
