Baby Shower

Last weekend Baby Boy Gonzalez was "showered" again with love and gifts from many wonderful friends. LaDonna hosted this wonderful party and she really did a GREAT job. The decorations, games, food and everything little thing she did really made me feel very special!


My brother was there to capture the day in photos and he even joined in on one of the baby games and HE WON!! It was the string game when you guess how much string it takes to go around the pregnant belly.

Joey was the closest match and there were a few (who shall remain nameless) who guessed SOOO big I could of wrapped the string around 2 times!!! I know I grow a big belly but COME ON, be nice to the pregnant lady :)

Overall the party was a great success... lots of fun and baby boy received many gifts from our loving and generous friends and family!!! No worry of him having to wear Susanna's old PINK clothes, he now has plenty of BLUE!!!

Thanksgiving 2009 Sunset Beach, NC

I've decided to lend a helping hand with the blog tonight as I've been trying to give Jessie a hand with more and more things. This year we decided to get out of town for a few days during my Thanksgiving break. We headed down to Sunset Beach, NC and joined my parents and younger brother Gabriel for a Thansgiving change of pace. It was fun being down at the beach during a quieter time of year.


Susanna loved walking.....running....and jumping along the beach. She was sure to point out every dog, seagull, and seashell she could spot. We had a great Thanksgiving dinner with all the traditional dishes and took a few trips into Calabash to get some tasty seafood. Anybody who has ever been to Calabash knows that it is pretty much required that you take a trip to Callahan's Nautical gift shop to check out all the random gifts and trinkets. Susanna LOVED the Christmas shop and is OBSESSED with Santa and Snowmen.

Although I will admit we are a little short on pictures from the beach, I will post a few random ones to make up for it. Things have been hectic here lately as we prepare for the arrival of Susanna's baby brother. Jessie and I have been busy painting, assembling furniture, decorating for Christmas, entertaining Susanna, and washing bottles and baby clothes. We are only a few weeks away and have lots still to do!
