catching up.

we had a christmas party last saturday--the annual 'eat, drink & be merry with the bonsers' and it was a blast. though not as many showed up as last year (88 last year..about 50 this year), it was still super fun to pack out our 1400 sq. ft. home with so many wonderful friends. we had a coffee bar & sweets theme, so i baked lots of sugary items to be consumed and a friend who works at fourbucks..er, i mean, starbucks supplied us with caffeine free of charge.my good friend, emily, the one who was pregnant with me this summer--remember her?--is MOVING! i'm super sad because i'm going to miss her so much and especially since our babies are only 4 days apart. it has been so great having a friend to journey with through this craziness called motherhood, to bounce questions off each other, and to encourage each other. however, i am so thrilled that her husband got a dream job working on lake tahoe and they will make a lovely home there in just a couple of weeks now. we stripped our babies down to their diapers the other day and just looked at them, noticing their similarities and differences, but mostly just oohing over how dang cute they are!

other points of interest:
* vera had her 2 mo. check up and is in the 90th percentile for weight at 12 lbs. and 50th percentile for length at 22.5 inches. she's a good eater!
* my hubby is on sabbatical and home for SIX weeks! i feel so lucky.
* holy moly...christmas is one week away! i better finish my shopping.
