In my efforts to recount the last year (and then some) I've decided to 're-post' our Sex Party. Now, now...get your mind out of the gutter. When Ron and I found out we were expecting, there was no doubt we were going to find out whether we were going to have a girl or a boy. That wasn't a surprise I wanted to keep until D-Day. So we decided we would find out in a fun way, with family. We

Sigh...I can't believe it.  Jackie is going to be a year old on Monday.  Where did the time go? Just days old...what happened to this little baby? As I sit here formatting my blog, contemplating what to write about and what to share with the world, I periodically turn to the monitor to see my sleeping baby.  She will always be my baby... I long for the days when she was a newborn, holding

It's time to get the chips out!  Crunchy veggies here we come!  Okay, not quite yet...but soon!  We discovered that her first tooth has broken through...let the drool begin!

Today Ron and I decided to take Jackie to the park at Rittenhouse Square.  We heard about the farmers' market there and wanted to check it out.  We had so much fun people watching and playing with the munchkin.  Check out all the fun!

Yup, her first word was "Daddy".  Well...it was more like "Dah-dee".  It melted Ron's heart...okay, mine too.  A tear or two was shed. We attempted to get it on video, but no such luck.  We even told her babysitter that if she got it on video there would be an extra $10 'speech pay'.   So - when does she say Mommy?

We gave Jacquelyn her first bite of solid food yesterday at Lola and Lolo's house.  It was rice cereal (note: later I found out it was stage 2 rice cereal, not stage 1...oops - bad mommy).  Well... It didn't go over too well... But once she got her bottle... It was all better...and she got into her bathing beauty suit and was the happy munchkin we all know and love... Oh well, better luck

Jackie and I stopped by Tita Maja and Uncle Dave's house to visit Josh and Jacob after her photo shoot (pictures coming soon).  And Lola was there!  Jackie was treated to story time with Lola and Josh while Jacob napped. These are the moments you want to preserve forever...

Jackie's first road trip was to Virginia to visit Auntie Carmen, Uncle Chris, and her cousins, Bryan, Kelsey, Camille and Kayleen! Here are a few snap shots from the visit. Unfortunately, Kayleen was very busy with Crew practice, so we didn't get to see her very much. Cousin Kelsey LOVES to help out with Jacquelyn. She even changes wet diapers! Just not the poopy ones :-( ...and Bryan

I've been really bad at keeping this blog updated with Jackie's happenings, so I'll try and play catch up...Here are some photos from the last few weeks... Jackie is doing fabulous - she is amazing, we are so happy and blessed to have her in our lives. This is the two of us getting ready to come home from the hospital. I know, I know...she's not wearing socks...we were still getting ready!!!

So, Maria asked me to write something on the blog about our favorite bars and restaurants. Well, that’s kind of a “loaded” assignment for me. First, when it comes to bars, what I consider a “really good bar” usually involves a mechanical bull and/or acrobatics performed on a brass pole. Second, when it comes to restaurants, well… you’re talking about a guy who eats about 70% of his meals standing
