Nona's 60th Birthday in Monterey

For Nona's 60th birthday we all gathered at Asilomar in Monterey, California

It ended up being a celebration of many occasions...

Bonnie Bosma's 60th birthday, Joan White's birthday,

my cousin Nate Martin's starting a PhD at UCLA, Stefania and Antonio's special appearance from Italy and who could forget the birth of Mason!


The Falzone's

I had this great idea to upload all of our pictures from the trip and make cute comments etc. But I am going to have to use the excuse of being a new mom, sleep deprived, blah blah... because after working on just uploading the pictures alone at Mason's nap time, he might be 20 years old before I get them all up and arranged. So they are out of order but I'm sure you'll get the idea of what a great trip it was!

I mean just look at that little guy (Mason not Tom).

we had some great days at the beach

Auntie Cece had kiss the "owie"gorgeous sunsets...trips to the pool...

Uncle Tom and Harrison

Harrison, Rachel and Mason tucked in the sling poolside.

Harrison would always ask "mommy, who's in there?" or "what's Mason doing?"

He loved his new little cousin. Geronimo...yummy dinners....Antonio and Stefania

Who could forget the pasta they made? It was amazing!

The Monterey Bay Aquarium...

This is what I did at the aquarium... any guesses?I love this picture that Tom captured, the penguin darting through the water headed towards Andy, who I'm sure was taunting him in some way.The Guys...Okay, so my mom was abducted by the jellyfish. They were very captivating!Point Lobos ParkIn some of these pictures, I feel like the caption should read "Where is Mason?".

Fortunately Mason loves his sling, so there is his little booty under Tom's elbow tucked in under his jacket in his sling. Needless to say, he slept through Point Lobos.

Point Lobos group shot. There were 16 of us total who trekked through the beautiful winding paths along the coastline. Point Lobos didn't even know what hit them...The BosmasThe SchawsTom and Bonnie

So Nona....

What are we going to do for your 61st birthday?

*i must give credit to the schaws for letting me use some of their pictures.

Cousin Harrison

Mason got to meet his cousin Harrison this past week

as we all gathered in Monterey for my mom's 60th birthday.

We had a great celebration and I will be sure to post some pictures in the coming days...

3 weeks old

Mason is 3 weeks old...

Here are just a few pics from this past week. He LOVES bath time!

A little smile for his mom & dad.

What a sweetheart!

2 years...

Today, Tom and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary with our son Mason.

Believe me there was no candlelight dinner, but Tom took the day off to be with us and it was such a treat to be family on such a special day.

Mason's 2nd week home

We're working on the "pot belly"

My dad and Tom picked out a tree to plant for Mason, a Crepe Myrtle.

Then Tom and his dad planted this beautiful tree in our backyard, a true family affair. I'm sure the first of many "shoulder trips" with dad

Nona came to visit Mason now that he's almost 2 weeks old. As you can see she was a huge help this week as Tom went back to work. She woke up for the 2 am feeding with me, burped, changed diapers, and cooked up a storm, even on her birthday might I add.

Thank you mom for all of your help! hanging out in my crib for the first time

playing with Nona

look who has his eyes open!

Bringing Mason Home

We brought him home just 24 hours after he was born.

We couldn't have done it without the help of our parents who were there to support us as we welcomed him and as we settled in at home.

Check out these adorable feet.our sleeping angel
