Sacramento: House Hunting

Our time in Sacramento was loads of fun and VERY productive....we did a ton of house hunting, put in an offer, and it was accepted....we couldn't be happier!!! SAC- TOWN here we come....(don't worry Tahoe and SF, we will see you VERY often as well :-)

Gia's LOVE of the hose

This is just one of our many afternoons at home with the water hose....we have such a great time!!! I LOVE being a mom....how could life get any better than this!?

My Little Dacnin' Feet

So much to blog about....Mexico, Santa Barbara, house hunting, packing, job interviews, writing offers....it's a full time job...oh, and I also have two of those (being a mom and an AE)....not enough time. That being said, how lucky am I to be this little wonder's mommy? She fills my heart with joy!!!! SO, SO, SO LUCKY!

Gia's proud mom, Allie~

Bathtime at my house is loads of fun. Now please do not misunderstand, prior to Miss G, RT and I loved a good scrub, but now that she is here....wowzer it is LOADS of fun!!! When was the last time you filled the tub with bubbles and were mesmorized by the shape and quantity? Or, splashed until you could not contain your squeels of delight? As always, being a parent reminds me of the need to take joy in the little stuff...because this is what makes us so rich and full of life!!

The ESPY's

Last night, RT and I had a....brace yourself....DATE NIGHT!!!!! And a fabulous date night at that!!! We went to the ESPY's. After braving the LA Afternoon Drive traffic, we arrived just in time for the show!!!! We missed the red carpet facilities and took these pictures after the show....when we decided to ditch the after parties and go home to Miss G....WHAT A GREAT NIGHT!!!!!

Our little trooper....

Gia, your daddy and I are so proud of you!!!! You are an amazing little girl with a fierce spirit!!! Way to go and thank you for being so good!!! We made it through! YEAH GIA!!!!

Gia's proud mommy, Allison~
