Baby Shower

A couple of coworkers/great friends threw us a baby shower at Honda recently. We had a great time.

32 Weeks

Quilt from Grandma Judy

Beautiful with the crib. Nice job Grandma!

31 Weeks!

Baby is growing so quickly. Those kicks that were so cute have now drawn "what the..." remarks but I still love 'em. His nursery is coming along. Can't wait!!

95 Degree Days... I Love California

Yesterday morning we walked on the beach. Today Fredo sleeps in after staying up all night playing with his new computer and I'm ready to go walking before the feet start to swell up. Otherwise, it's too hot for sewing or organizing or, well anything.

Posting some shots of my meager garden. All of these shown (with exception of the herbs) are rewards from guerilla gardening... aka nipping off pieces of poeple's plants as I pass by and bringin' home. I've always been a perennial gal but they grow much too quick here in So-Cal for a patio garden. Succulents it is for now.

30 Weeks!

Little Enzo is getting strong. His kicks and punches make mom wonder if he is trying to escape the womb. Rest assured if he does he now has a crib and mattress waiting for him!

29 Weeks!

Energy levels are waning and little guy is moving so much he's waking me up. No complaints here!!!

28 Weeks. Third Trimester... the last stretch.

Weekend in Indian Wells

We watched some really great tennis this weekend at the Pacific Life Open. It was a blistery 95 degrees or so. We visited the mist blower, lemonade ice maker, and water cooler constantly.





Off in the distance there is snow in the mountains. During all matches I wished to be near that snow...


One of my faves - Rafa


Our beautiful resort. The smell of flowers was intoxicating.

Old Post / New Post

As baby's debut draws near we keep wondering what he'll look like!!

26 Weeks!

I'm obsessed with his movements. He's a kicker!

24 Weeks

Toys and Blankets Already!

Thank You Katie and Roan!

Thanks Mom!

Mini Alfredo's Heart Beats and Beats and Beats. Doctor gave us a thumbs up and carry on today. : )

Week 20 - Half Way There!

Hello! The little guy is squirming around daily now. Here's a comparison of weeks 16 and 20.

Babies and Bread Blog??

This weekend I made my first braided Challah loaf covered with ground Almonds and Kosher Salt. Yum. Alfredo said this loaf ranked number 1 so far.

17 Weeks!

These pictures just don't do justice after seeing the little one move around, wiggle fingers, and take big gulps.



This shot is a tad more human looking at least!



Can you see any resemblance?

16 Weeks!

I'm still finding it hard to adjust to this whole morphing thing...

Merry Christmas

The Latest

So, we had our 12 week check-up this week and Baby Rusconi is developing well. Alfredo and I went out dancing to celebrate.

Nine Weeks! I have little limbs and I'm dancing around.

Looks as though we have another runner in the family!



Next appointment in December 3rd!

Olive Loaf

The first of many to come. Who knew that I would love cooking bread? Mom, I'm sure you're saying "of course!".

My, my! Eight Weeks Old.

Our first Ultra Sound.
A wee peanut at this point but all looks good!

Our Michigan Wedding Celebration July, 2007

Alfredo and I flew home for a full week of family and friends. Northern Michigan showed us her beauty in many forms. We had the opportunity to boat and lounge with family all week until the day of our party. We had such a great time and the weather was balmy. Mom and Dad know how to throw a party! Upon leaving, Alfredo and I thought this would be where we kept one of our retirement homes.
