Baby Boy

For Kev's birthday, part of my gift to him was to transcribe my journal entries from when I was pregnant through his first year. I typed them out, scanned some pictures to go with the narrative, and I made him a little book. As you know, I've always been a prolific journaler.

Since I scanned the photos, I thought I'd share them with y'all.  They are roughly in chronological order.

I wish blogs were available back then!

Birthday Blooms!

I was the lucky recipient of flowers on my birthday this week!

From BobBIE, a trio of orchids. Stunning!






From Mom, some beautiful sunflowers in a hula-skirt vase!


And from my son, a bunch of alstromeria!

I feel very spoiled being surrounded by such beauty!

It was a wonderful birthday!

Happy Birthday to Izzy 1992

Back in 1992, the Squid got a prize at work for being a workaholic great employee, and the prize was a weekend at Ventana Inn at Big Sur!  We decided to take the weekend during my birthday that year.  It was a wonderful all-expenses-paid weekend.  We drank Dom Perignon while we sat beside the fireplace in our suite, we got massages, we ate fine food, we spent time in the hot tub on our own private patio.  It was nothing that we would ever spend money on for ourselves. It was very indulgent.  What a great weekend!

Needless to say, we left the little tyke who was Kevin at home.  Our friend Pete took care of him for us, and we put together some instructions for Pete to follow.  Pete was a bachelor at the time, with not a lot of kid experience.  We are very grateful to him to this day for taking care of our precious baby.

I found the instructions during some recent clean-up, and I share them with you here!

The hand-written pages were prepared by me, while the print-out was Kevin's father's work.  Click for bigger version.

The page is torn on the bottom right. I don't know what he was "no"t allowed.  Hard candy, maybe?

Happy Sweet Sixteen!

My baby is growing up!

Erin had a good day. Low-key, but nice, with presents, dinner at the Beachside and cake! I made the usual Black Magic Cake, and this time tried some mint frosting on part of it. We affectionately call it "Ugly Cake."
