A busy July indeed

I'll attempt to redeem myself from being the worst wife, sister, and friend ever by including a few much belated pictures of what I've been up to lately:

Nate's birthday was earlier this month,
his sister came from San Francisco to visit,
and my sister got married.




This is my sister Emi and her new husband Duncan dancing to their special song.....








... a priceless picture of my sister Leigh and brother Alex at the wedding,





... and Nate being ever-so-barely covered up by a onesie that his sister Kara gave him for his birthday.
The text says: "My dad recycles more than your dad."



Kara has recently gotten engaged to a wonderful guy we will soon call Uncle Ravi :)
and we had a chance to get a picture of her and some of her bridesmaids while spending the day in Southport this weekend.


So, no these aren't necessarily the best representative pictures of every event and everyone, but they're what I have in the meantime.

Aunt Kara and Uncle Ravi also gave us another book to add to Tot's collection:
Good Night San Francisco, featuring a picture of them at the end of the book, so Tot will know where they live.
Nate's mom also got us a Baby Heart Monitor device thing - kind of like the doppler at the midwives' office, but you can also make a recording of the sounds and send it by e-mail. So, once we figure that technology out, we'll be sharing with any interested family and friends.

Somewhere in there, I slept a little bit...
but again, it's all part of the season of family and friend get-togethers, and I'm thankful to have had the time and energy to do so.

Nicky and Nate
24 weeks tomorrow
I know, I know,
Time to start making the Operation-Get-Ready-for-Baby-List.
AKA the OGRB List.
And then doing something with the list.
Besides doodling in the margins and daydreaming about non-baby-related projects I could be doing...
