A Beautiful Wedding!!

We got beck from New York on Friday after an exhausting yet absolutely wonderful week. My dear brother got married on Sat November 17 to my new (and only) (Okay, I have to put in here a little note about the "only"sister in law line. I actually have another sister in law that I have had for almost ten years. Yet, I don't think of her as my sister in law, I think of her more as a sister. So, my dear Steph, I love you to pieces and I did not forget about you. And a thank you to Lori for pointing out to me that Jamie is not my only sister in law - I am a bit of a nut. Love you all!!!) wonderful sister in law Jamie!!! So very happy for them! It was a beautiful wedding. She was glowing and they both looked so happy!!!! And our two little munchkins walked themselves down the aisle with a grace and poise I did not know they possessed. As our friend Amanda said, it was definitely a proud parent moment!!! They did great! Molly was soo excited about wearing her beautiful dress and having her hair all done up like a princess. And Jack was beside himself with pride that he got to walk my mom down the aisle with Brian and then walk Molly down while carrying the rings! It was great!

Their wedding colors were beautiful fall colors and our dresses were a dark brown, very very pretty! I must say we made quite a pretty wedding party!! :-)



Mr and Mrs Josh Rosales!!!! This is the happy couple in the limo heading to the reception.


Okay, so this is actually pretty funny. When my brother was little he used to sing this song to my mom all the time and so he picked it for his Mother/Son Dance. It was very sweet, yet much to both their surprise, it was much much longer than they remembered and this video is shot toward the end of a very long dance when Josh has begun to improvise a bit on the floor. Look close and you will see Jamie laughing hysterically in the background at one of the tables. Love you guys!!

The Earthquake

Well, in all the craziness surrounding Halloween I forgot to tell you that we had our first baby earthquake last week. It was weird. Brian was at dinner with a client and I was home with the kiddos (who were sleeping) and the house shook, just for a second. I mean it was so quick, that I thought maybe I had just imagined it. I looked up and the blinds were still moving back and forth like the wind was blowing inside. So so weird. So, being from Florida, I know exactly what to do in a hurricane, but not a clue what I should do in an earthquake, so I went online to learn. Turns out there is not all that much to do, you stay inside and away from doors and windows (much the same as in a hurricane). But that was all we felt and the night moved on. Brian and his clients felt it at dinner as well. We checked it out and it was located near San Jose. After we talked to some of our friends that have been here for a while, they said that is as big a movement as we ever get here (very consoling for the me). So we are quite glad that is all we get!

Halloween!!!

Hello to all. Halloween here is a blast. Better than any place I have ever been! We had such a fun day yesterday!!!!! Molly and I trick-o-treated 3 times. At 10 am Molly (Cinderella) and I (Cinderella's mouse friend) went with her preschool to all the offices in the park (National Park Service, Delaware North, etc) and everyone had decorated their offices like one would decorate a house. It was a hoot. Then Jack's whole school (30 kids) went to all the offices at 1pm and Molly and I went with them. Then last night all four of us went with a bunch of our friends and their kiddos to all the houses. It really was a great time!! I love Halloween! Here are some pictures of our day and of the cutie Halloween cookies I made to give out.
