More Christmas fun

Christmas was absolutely amazing this  year.  To our delight Bella was old enough enjoy passing out and opening presents.  She's such a little princess.

Fel and I's Christmas miracle came a day lot - potty training!  Over a 3 hour period she used the potty successfully 4 times!  

2014 - A Year in Photos

What a magical year - can't wait to see what 2015 will bring.

(or maybe there's still a few suprises left in 2014?)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Monkey baby

Bella's finally getting into this pregnancy thing:)

If only childbirth was this easy. . . . . . .

8 months

Can't believe we are 8 months along already!  Feeling good and into the home stretch.  We've got diapers, a crib, and I pulled out all of Bella's old clothes and have them washed and folded.  Still need to choose some names, install car seats, and pack my hospital bag.  Bella doesn't want anything to do with with Little Rosso.  She no longers wants to hear the heartbeat, and changes the subject when we bring it up.  Hopefully this will all change when she meets the little guy/gal face to face.

Fel & Bel have had an amazing weekend (I was on call which is never amazing, but has been tolerable.)  Abuela and Abuelo came up yesterday for a super fun visit, where we got to play music and sing lots of songs.  I got to try out a new Barefoot Contessa Cranberry Apple cake that was super tart and yummy.  

Today between multiple trips to the hospital I did manage to simmer up a fantastic Crema de Alcachofas (creamy artichoke soup) that was divine.
