Always a bridesmaid...

I have been remiss again in posting for the last month (I am sure you all have noticed...) but will vow to get back on track. I will blame a very nasty sinus infection that had me pretty miserable for about 3 weeks, house hunting, work and that little toddler we have running around. Here are a few little updates...

1. House hunting still continues. We have seen more houses than we care to document and put in 3 offers to no avail. We have another offer in that we will hear back on in a couple of days. The market here is unpredictable but still strong so we are still plugging away.

2. The pregnancy is going well. Baby is in a good position and normal size despite all the sugar I eat. Due date is Sept. 12th which I can't believe is right around the corner. Only 6 more weeks at my job so I am busy beginning my transition. Still love the new job so it will be hard to leave, but I will enjoy the break.

3. Leila was a ringbearer for the first time! She did a bang up job (sort of). Our friends John and Mark who have been together for 17 years tied the knot (again) thanks to the recent overturning of the gay marriage ruling. It was a lovely ceremony and reception and we felt honored that they asked Leila to be the ringbearer. They are such an important part of our lives and it was wonderful to share in their love for each other.

4. Samy has a new job...he is working in a high end restaurant now in North Beach--touted as having one of the top, most extensive wine lists in the city. Tuscan cuisine complete with the owner "Mr. Petroni" who is a dead ringer for a Mafioso. I feel like I am in a Soprano's episode when I go in. The new gig is working out well and he has a much better schedule...all in preparation for when baby #2 arrives...

Those are the highlights...enjoy the pics of Leila in her debut...
