Baby Shower for Grace!

Here are a few pictures from the baby shower.  Natalie looked lovely as a mommy-to-be:)  I don't think I've ever seen her more beautiful and radiantl than she is right now:)  In the picture of Natalie, Mom, and me, Natalie is holding a quilt Mom made for me when I was an infant.  I've passed it to Natalie with the hopes she will comfort Baby Grace on those chilly evenings, and then one day, pass it on to Grace to share with her own daughter.

Souvenir from the Baby Shower..

I love this little bird's nest and eggs:)  Ana picked up these little souvenirs from the baby shower - a sweet reminder of the stork's impending delivery!

A Great Image of Grace!

This image really really reveals alot about Grace's facial features! It's clear -- She is going to be a beauty!

Birthday Dinner

For her birthday dinner, Ana Maria chose The Old Siam resturant.  She looks lovely as usual, waiting for our first course.  Happy birthday to a wonderful companion and sweetheart.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Our first stop on the birthday celebration train was the White Oak Bakery for brunch!  Ana is holding the remainder of a delicious eclair (aka birthday cake: )) with a candle.  Mom and Dad joined us a little later before we left the bakery.

A Blue Moon..

Early this evening, as I was driving home from work, I took this picture of the blue moon!  This picture just doesn't do the scene justice.
