September 2009

Finally a blog post! It has only taken me about 3 months. Sorry for being so behind. My excuse?? I am pregnant! I am due May 11th. In September (the last time I blogged) I got entered the "sick" phase and also was exhausted most of the time. I am now feeling better, but am still tired. I am going to attempt to update on what has been going on with us over the past few months. Hopefully I can catch up!

Over Labor Day Jason's sister, Dagny, and her family came to visit. This was one of the many attempts to get a picture of Stella and Isabel together.

Of course Isabel had to hold "baby Stella". Jason had fun reading to the girls. I guess he needs to get used to reading to 2.

Isabel showed Stella how it was done.

They look like they might be up to something......

We also celebrated Cesar's 3oth Birthday (5 months late!) and I showed off my new decorating skills.

It was game day, so everyone wore their school colors with pride.

Stella had her 1st swing ride while visiting. She LOVED it!

We also took a trip to the beach.

The last day they were here, we all went to Hollis Gardens for some pictures. Another cute one of the Morales'

Cute little Isabel, waiting ever so patiently.

Adorable little Stella.

Still waiting.....

Our turn for a picture!

The girls, so cute together.

I also took another cake decorating class in September. This cake isn't too exciting, but we were just learning the technique of rosettes.

The next weekend in September, Jason's friend Joe (fellow Clemson grad) came down to visit and brought along his daughter Lily. She is Jason's Goddaughter and a cutie!

Jason, Joe, and the girls. It was a fun time.

In September we also celebrated Jason's birthday. Except this year there was a very exciting event on Jason's birthday, our dear friend Jen got married! We traveled to the panhandle for her wedding in Grayton Beach, FL. It was beautiful. She married a great guy, Thad, and we got to spend the weekend with great friends. We rented a house with 2 other couples (good friends) and it worked out perfectly. Here is Isabel enjoying the front porch of the house.

We had a great time!

This is my final cake for the 2nd cake decorating class. It came out pretty good, I think!

Isabel took swim lessons most of the summer and fall. She has done pretty well! Here are a few pictures from her class.

A fun month! Hopefully the next month will be posted soon.
