newest update!

Well, our mac computer died and it will cost $800 to fix it... which we obviously don't have. So we are sort of permanently borrowing dad's Dell computer and getting to know it.

We recently got Skype up and running and have been enjoying communicating with people. Still working on uploading pictures and stuff like that.

News in our lives: Toby is working his butt off at Tres Amigos and still doesn't have a single day off between work and teaching yoga. He recently was brought in by a theater company in town to do some fight choreography. They are advertising him in their program and are eager to use him again and get him more work. He also has a private yoga student who he's been working with in the wee hours on Tues and Thurs mornings. And a High School class brought him in to teach a brief yoga class for their culture exploration class. So... he's one busy man.

My most exciting news is that i have lost 21 lbs since the wedding with Weight Watchers. Not really excersizing as much as I could, I'm just eating right and I feel GREAT. My goal is to loose another 9 lbs by my Birthday so that I am at my pre-pregnancy weight, and from there I'll have another 20 lbs to go to get to my dream weight!! Wish me luck.

I also quit my job at TGI Fridays. That place was a nightmare and I wasn't making ANY money, plus our free, family babysitter will be moving away very soon and I would've had to look for something new soon anyway... It was a terrible job. Really, really bad. The managers were just MORONS and mean and hateful. Boo. So now I'm just looking around. I signed up with a temp agency and I have responded to about 20 craigslist adds and I've got some good leads. Something will come up shortly. It always does :)

I guess I'll just post some more pictures from the wedding that people have been sending us. Man, there are soooo many of them.

some wedding pics

Lots of stuff going on!

So we leave for the wedding Sunday morning.
Lots to do still. I'm in the middle of doing laundry and I just put the little man to sleep.

Here's some recent pictures:


My two cutie boys :)











Aiden loves his books and laughs alot!















Toby's Mom came to visit last week.

And Toby was doing yoga and Aiden joined in.

Aiden has a new toy. It's Disney Land really. It takes up almost our entire living room... but it's totally worth it!!














My mother was visiting all week. She bought a house here in Austin that my sister and family will be moving into probably by October.


She's also working on an online house-swapping resource called
Gogo Teachers with my brother-in-law. So they've been busy.



Not too much else going on. Getting ready for the wedding in a month!!

yummy food.

Date Night

Wednesday nights have become date nights for Toby and I, since we rarely get to see each other. So yesterday we went out to eat and then decided to go for a walk in Zilker Park. Man is it pretty. There's a path that runs beside a river filled with joggers, walkers, bikers, swimmers, kids, dogs, trees, bamboos, flowers... just gorgeous. There were people canoing and picknicking and grilling. It was so nice. We sat down by the water and put our feet in and just talked.

It was really nice to just have some down time to ourselves.


And of course I love my time with Aiden when I come home after work and get to play with him in the evening. He's so darn cute.

Today we met with some ladies from Aunt Ellies playgroup who are looking for a nanny for the fall. It sounds pretty promising, so we're keeping our fingers crossed.

Pea in a Pod

These are the pictures that my sister took of Aiden.

All moved in

We've finally got our computer up and running.  Hooray.

Life is good.  I have started teaching children's theater workshops for the summer up in Georgetown, TX.  

It's kind of a long drive, but I get to direct kid's plays all summer long, so it works out good.  This is the first time I've had to be away from my little French Fry for 8 hours a day and I can already feel the strain of that.  

He is getting some excellent quality time in with his Daddy though.  They go for walks every day and go swimming and sometimes

they hang out with Aunt Ellie and cousin Korbin.  Then I usually get home by 4pm and Toby leaves for work at the restaurant by 4:30pm.  So Aiden gets to see us all day long.  Lucky boy :)

Aiden now eats stage 1 foods.  He LOVES sweet potatoes.  He reaches for things, recognizes his bottle, laughs sometimes (usually for Toby), sleeps 12 hrs at night straight through and is starting to take longer naps and is just adorable.  

He rolls over and plays with his toys and loves his blanky that my grandmother (Oma) knitted for him.

We're busily planning the wedding.  Even though it's going to be casual and laid back, it's still alot of work :)
