WOW! What an ordeal! But we made it! So for my Mom and Grandma Anna- here is some video from tonight's performance! Please pay no attention to my horrible filming...

Gracie and her teacher!

Crafty Time

I've been pretty tired these days waiting for Maverick to come so I've kinda been a lazy Mommy! No gift making or cookie baking... so today I decided to let the girl do some decorating! They had fun and I supervised!

This is what I've been doing lately... the couch and Reese's! Yeah for pregnancy!

Maybe Baby...

I published a similar post on my photography blog but I wanted to add it here for those who don't check the other...Sooo…. my baby girl started school today. No fear, no tears, no hug. That’s right no hug. Just a “Bye Mom!” and off she went. I of course called her back for a much hastily given one, but hey I’m not complaining. My friend Tara didn’t even get that! So I wish I could sit here and write something beautiful about it but I am much to stressed out right now. Why? Well I have to fly to a wedding in less than 15 hours and am not prepared yet!!! More about this later… enjoy these cute pics of Miss. G

Socal Vacation

The girls and I are in Simi Valley for a few days for Tate's College Graduation. I also wanted to come to say goodbye to a dear friend, Heidi before she moves to Scotland for 3+ years. How exciting for them. Jason, her hubby is studying for his Doctorate at Saint Andrews. We had a great time visiting with them and I did a mini photo session. Look for sneak peaks late next week on the photo blog. Below are some pics of the last few days. Practically SOOTC (straight out of the camera) so be kind! :) No fancy smanchy editing software here!

New photo blog

Hello hello! I know I am waayyy over due for a post but it's been CRAZY over here! Hopefully I will have some down time next week to tell you all about it. I did want to mention that I have a new photography blog. Super simple to remember: www.cierraperaphotography.com/blog

That's it!

Love to you all!

Christmas 2008

A Christmas post you ask? I like to plan ahead. If you spend the holidays with us I wanted you to clear your schedule. Since you will be traveling to my house this year. I am putting my foot down. I want family here. There are a few catches though- You will need to stay at a hotel- our only spare room will be taken most likely. I will not be cooking, so plan on bringing a turkey or ham or whatever. You will probably be put to work washing laundry and such. I will probably be very crabby too. The house will be very loud and lots of things going on. What WILL I be doing you ask??

Isn't it obvious?? I will be on the couch with my feet up BEGGING the little person inside me to come out!

Surprise! Pera baby number 3 on the way! Due December 31! Itwill be interesting to see who responds to this. I have a feeling my mom is the only one who checks! Love to you all. Oh yeah- fun picks too:

Southern Cal Beach Fun

Way back in the beginning of March we went to Southern California. Here are some pictures from our trip. These are the beach pictures. Next post will be of the zoo!
