Introducing the Newest (and cutest)...

Ballerina!

It's July?!

What happened to June (and May)!?!? Here are some highlights from the last little while...

Georgetown Law School Graduation! Diane graduated with her law degree and I am so proud of her! I was there when she opened her acceptance letter to G-town back at BYU so it was clearly an honor to see her come full circle and graduate! Thanks Diane for letting us be a part of your big day. Xoxo.

Juliane, Diane, and Jessie - way to go ladies!

Drew & Kara wed! My childhood friend Kara got married at the end of May. She was an absolutely beautiful bride - and we are pretty big fans of her other half too! Congrats to Kara & Drew!

Early in June we got to celebrate my other childhood friend Joanie's soon-to-arrive baby boy! My sister and I think she should be a pregnant model - pregnancy does her body good!!! =)

We scored some excellent seats to the Orioles game thanks to Nellie and Chris (and their sweet connection to pitcher Jeremy Guthrie). The O's were hosting the Houston Astro's - Danny's chidhood team. I was in limbo all night since I grew up in MD and have die hard O's fans in my family but now I am faced with loyalty to Danny. I have come to grips with the fact that my baby boy is already an Astro's fan- Just as long as he is NOT a Cowboys fan - Go SKINS!!! The O's won that night - in fact, as Jeremy Guthrie would point out after the game to Danny, the O's swept the Astro's that week. =) All in all it was a fun night. A big thanks to Nellie and Chris (and Mr. Guthrie) for the tickets and letting us come down to hang out after. Poor Tejada got booed all night!

Danny and I took our niece and nephew to the DC Zoo. It was a lot of fun to get out an enjoy the city. Aidan and Lily were such troopers as we ventured all over that zoo. They never complained and thoroughly enjoyed the animals.Aidan imitating the snake.

Lily and Me

Lily LOVES elephants!

She sleeps with a stuffed one every night despite mom trying to sneak it away. Aidan just thought they smelled. =)

Oh the pandas - DC loves their pandas!

6 month baby bump - I popped! It is so exciting to feel and SEE the little guy moving around in my tum-tum these days. I have been so blessed to have felt so good - besides the occasional body ache and heartburn! Danny and I are still trying to settle on a name and we are still open to suggestions. =)

We went to Wolf Trap to see Sergio Mendes preform with his latest group. I love Wolf Trap - its the nicest and cleanest place to see live entertainment. Wolf Trap is actually a National Park for the Preforming Arts. If you ever get a chance you should totally go see a show there - it is wonderful. Sergio did not disappoint and I loved being surrounded by so many of my fellow Brasilians - as if I don't get enough being around my mom so much!



PS - I had no CAVITIES!
