Shopping for a Girl

I always thought it would be so fun to shop for a girl but, now that I am pregnant with a girl I find myself drooling over all these cute boy things.  What's my deal!? 

But, I did spot these adorably sweet little toesie covers the other day and I have to have them...

Find them at Trumpette, Amazon, or Uncommon Goods.  Can't wait for mine to arrive!


Share your "have to have them" for a girl (or boy) finds!

Christmas in Panama!

It was the hottest Christmas for me (Brasil circa 1997 was a close second) and for all of us.  Danny, being from Galveston, TX, did not mind a warm holiday but I longed for some cold temps.  Really, I only want cold weather until New Years Eve after that I just want spring and summer. 

Despite the hot weather it was still a festive and memorable Christmas for our little family.  It was in fact the first ever Christmas for our little family to not be around other family. 

So late, but...

James sporting the Christmas gift Grandma and Papa sent him.  He loves it.  Every time he finishes his bath I have a rana (frog in Spanish) hopping around my house.

 Christmas Eve we had some friends from Church come over for dinner and to share the Nativity story with.

 The Star!

 My friends, Kerri and Spencer, have a 7 month old daughter.  I was in heaven thinking about how I would have a 7 month old daughter next Christmas!  Little Ali is the sweetest, and sure made for a cute and active newborn baby Jesus. ;-)

The Angel!

 

The Donkey!

 Christmas morning!

 My cute husband/dish washer. Love the bows!

 Making home-made pizza - a new family tradition.

 Making gingerbread cookies - an old school family tradition. 

Check out that Choo-choo, we do not mess around!!



Happy New Year!

Here we are New Years Day at the pool with my bump! =)

I guess everybody who should knows already does but... baby # 2 is on its way! The little girl is due May 11-ish.

Trust me I only look small-ish because of stratigic hand placement or

the fact that front on I am double wide!

James swimming to mama.

He made it!  He is our little fish in those floaties!

Christmas pictures soon...

Thanksgiving - James' BFFs

James was quite a show off and had plenty of smiles for our guests.  Anytime we went to leave he was sure to say: "Come on Will, come on Michelle".  He sure loved having them in our home.  It took a few days for him to finally realize they were gone.  Poor guy.

Thanksgiving - The Miraflores Canal Locks and Museum

Just around the corner from our home is the canal.  These days it is rather dirty from all the dredging to make it wider.  We did not see a super big container ship (or a cruise ship, haha) go through the lock which was a little disappointing but that just means we will have to go back.
