The End of an Era.....Or Is It?

For the last 22 years, I have had one goal that superseded all other goals.

For this Girl

To meet this Man

And on July 1st, 2011 in LA it will happen!!!!!!!!!!

Lancer gifted me with the I Love All Access 5 Star package that includes:

• Seats in the first 10 rows
  
• Pre-show party
• Exclusive NKOTB gift bag
• Early hassle-free entrance to venue
• Crowd-free merchandise shopping
• NKOTB souvenir laminate
• Parking (where available)
• On-site ILAA host

And...... REAL FACETIME WITH DONNIE WAHLBERG AT A MEET AND GREET!!!!

I can't believe it's actually happening. This may actually cause me to come up with newer, more meaningful goals. Or, it will just fan the flames and make me even crazier.

I'm sad Eriika isn't here to join me, or at least chat about how amazing it's going to be. I promised her if I met Jordan I would give him a little squeeze for her. I better pay up on this one, or she will haunt me. Seriously, folks, she will haunt me.

Donnie has no idea what's coming. He should be so excited.

PS...I love that man.

PSS...I really, really do!

PSSS...I meant Lance, people. Settle down!

Sushi O Sushi

Went to sushi with the Le Bebe tonight. We dined with an American, an Irish lass, an Italian gent, and a German lady. That sounds like the start of a good joke, but it's not. Well, it may be--but in this case, it's not.


In any case, B not only learned how to use chopsticks...



...she took the Suhi O Sushi challenge, and ate a whole chunk of wasabi.

What did your (less impressive) baby do today?

Groundhog Day

Blakely is now 6 weeks old. It seems like one long, continuous day. Make that one long, continuous night. You know the drill.

Eat

Burp

Sleep

Snuggle and play with Poppa

Bathe

Lay around and look adorable

To break up the routine, we've mixed it up with the following:

Modeling baby spa wear

Heading out to the Children's Discovery Museum in San Jose

3. Bake 9-inch loaf 55 to 60 minutes, 8-inch loaf 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Blakely's Newborn Shoot

It's hard to believe our little tubs used to be small and peanut-y. She's busted out of of her newborn onesies and jammies, and is now wearing her 0-3 month clothing.

I'm so glad we captured Mini when she was only 2 weeks old. Here are some of our favorite shots.
