Disneyland!!

David and I took the Chinese girls to Disneyland on Friday. It was the bomb-diggity once again. We hadn't been in 3 years so it was fun to take in the Disney spirit again. I always forget how magical it is there. It was raining pretty hard on us but it was the best because that meant the lines were so short. We only had to wait 10 minutes for Space Mountain AND Indiana Jones--unheard of! Luckily, it stopped raining after lunch and we got to enjoy the rest of the day without herds and herds of people. I tell you what though, I've gotten so soft living here. It was like 55-60 degrees and I have FREEZING to death. I don't know how I dealt with snow all those years. I miss summer so badly. Winter is so overrated.

Happy Halloween

Happy Haunting for the few bloggers still reading my boring blog. We had a GREAT halloween and went to a really fun party on Saturday night. It's always a blast getting into the spirit of things and dressing up. The last two years our costumes have been the bomb-diggity, if I don't say so myself. This year was not quite up to my usual standards but I did sew them myself (for the most part) so I still feel as cool. It's always interesting when people ask me what I do for a living now and I say that I sew competitive swimsuits. But I LOVE it and is has greatly improved my other sewing skills. For my costume, I had to sew my first shirt and now I shall be attempting some other projects that I've had in mind the last couple years but was too scared to try. Let me just say, the only reason I'm sewing at all is because I have the RIGHT equipment. You may think you're cool and all because you have a domestic sewing machine like a chump. I used to think that too because I have, what I like to call, a "civilian" machine and a serger as well. However, now I have access to the real deal--6 commercial machines that kick your domestic machine's butts. The difference between the machines is unreal. It's like the difference between Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and the Walmart nasty cheese brand. YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE. Anyhow, that's enough nerdy sewing talk. Here are some pics because that's all you want anyways.

Dear Abandoned blog,
I have ZERO desire to update you until Sebastian is 5 years old or at least sleeps through the night and is independent enough to be put down for 5 seconds alone and unsupervised. I don't see you becoming any less abandoned any time soon so please don't pester me any longer about my lack of posts. I will try to update you once a month, no more no less. We hope to have a new picture of Sea bass when he turns 5 months old in 2 more weeks. Until then, stay tuned.

P.S. Please keep updating your own blogs because I still have PLENTY of time to read your blogs. Thanks.

Hugs and Kisses,
Claire

Okay, it's official...

We are MOVING on Friday, August 5th to California. Since it is finally official, I can post now. More details to come. I better memorize Katie Perry's "California Gurlz" in a hurry. Hello sunshine. Hello beach. I'm so excited and scared at the same time. Wish us luck.

Finally

Can I just tell you how obnoxious it's been to not be able to update my blog? I have written at least 4 separate posts about Sebastian but my work computer wouldn't let me upload them. And since that was our only operable computer, I didn't have a lot of choices. Luckily, we have a computer now so I'm really hoping this will work. Something was messed up with the "Java Script" and apparently just googling how to fix it doesn't quite cut it. My computer skills are more than limited. :)

So...we've been having a great time with lil' Sebastian. He is HUGE now and too cute. He weighs about 12 lbs now and smiles like crazy. Oh and did I mention that he sleeps through the night?! This has got to be the best thing in the world. I finally feel like a human again. Every morning he wakes up at either 6 or 7 and I think to myself "I'm too tired to get up." But I walk into his room and he immediately starts cooing and smiling. I love it more than I can express. We love having him around and getting to know his little personality better. I wish he would stay small forever, but I have a bad feeling that he's going to keep growing and growing. I'm sure your kids are cute, but my little guy is still the cutest baby alive. Sorry! :) Here's a picture David took after his blessing. I have to get more pics of him from our external drive, but this should tide you over for a little bit.

Gotta love this little face.

A few pics...

Here are a couple pics for your viewing pleasure to tide you over until I can get a real post going. Enjoy! I may be a LITTLE biased, but I'm pretty sure we have the cutest baby alive.
