HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!







HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Mike is making me a gourmet dinner as we speak. He came home and brought me roses too. Ahh...the romance is still alive - even with a 3 month old! Hehee.

Well, Mike has started his new job and really likes it. We love it too because he's always home by at least 5:15pm.

I've joined a mommy's group and so far I like it. I have met quite a few people and it's just nice to get out! My friend Elyse and I have a weekly date on Thursday's. She has a 3 month old boy (Brady). We go to the Santa Clara library lapsit where a librarian leads a group of mommy and kids with songs and story telling. Alyssa really likes it. I think she especially likes looking at all the other babies! We also have a weekly lunch date with Tito Neil on Monday's. Alyssa really loves playing with him. And well, vice versa! Neil has a hard time leaving to go to work!

Alyssa is going through some separation anxiety which makes it really hard on me because all she wants is mommy. Daddy tries to help but she just gets hysterical. I hope this phase passes soon! She barely let's me put her down and my back hurts!


We have set a date for Alyssa's baptism. It will be on Sunday, March 11, 2007. Dad will be here by then so it'll be nice that he'll be able to make it. She will be baptized at Queen of Apostles (where Mia was baptized) and is also the church where I grew up. So it'll be special. I sooooo wish that those of you who live far were able to make it!

Anyway, I hope you all had a great Valentines Day! I have posted some pictures above taken by who else but her proud daddy!

Also, here's a link to a video we took of Alyssa giggling last week. :)
