The two most handsome men ever!

Big hugs for Daddy

What a beautifule smile!

We have been so busy lately! The time goes by so quickly- can you believe my boy is going to be one year old on Tuesday?!? We are having a little party for him tomorrow- just a few friends and some yummy food- it'll be fun! We are off to our friend Eva's first birthday party- Happy Saturday Everyone!

A Day At the Children's Museum

Our friends Amy, Rey, Madeline, and Sebastian are here in town visiting from Tennessee and we were so excited to hang out with them. Amy's parents invited us over for an incredible Irish meal last Saturday on St. Patty's day and yesterday Amy and I loaded up our munchkins in my Mom-Mobile and went to the Miami Children's Museum. We had such a fun day! The kids had a great time exploring, even Matt was crawling around all over sticking everything in his mouth (ewww). I was *so* looking forward to a nap when we go home in the afternoon, but I had to go pick up our car from the bodyshop (we had an accident almost a month ago- $7,0000 dollars in repairs later.... an accident which by the way was not my fault, thank you very much). Focus, Jess, focus. We had a great time with our friends and will miss them! Check out our pics:

Bachelorette Night!!

Last weekend, all the girls from work took our friend Rosa out for dinner at Taverna Opa in Hollywood to celebrate her upcoming marriage to Gio. We had so much fun! The younger, crazier girls were dancing on the tables and the older Moms decided not to. Sadly, I am no longer a part of that young, crazy crowd. I am officially a member of the 'Suburban Mom Club'- which I am totally happy with, but it's funny to see how you change over the years and how different things appeal to you. Anyhoo, I digress- check out the cool pics below:


Patty, Tina, Dawntray, Paige, Rosa, Genelie, Iva, Mimi, and Hazel

Yanet can't decide: Boutari Greek Wine or Heineken? Hmm... BOTH!!

I love this pic of Yanet and Rosa- this is how the two of them are all the time!

Rosa is about to lose her cherry! Oh, wait...

The rest of the gang showed up a little later, Marisol, Ester, Nora and Marcela. I had such a hard time getting up for work the next day- we were out until 2 am! The Moms went home and the single gals went out to continue celebrating!

My Little Fish

This week at swim class, it was Daddy's turn to swim with the munchkin. They both had so much fun!

Is that not the cutest face you've ever seen??

I love that little chin- just like his Daddy's and his Pappou Matthaios'.

Going all the way under with his teacher for the first time!

Look at that pout!! AAWWWW......

There's my smiling little man! Isn't he a cutie?

Mike and Karen Tied the Knot!

Our good friends Mike and Karen were married last weekend on Key Biscayne. They had such a beautiful reception- it was right on the bay and the night was perfect (except for all those Ohio State fans... HA!). We are so happy for them- wishing them many happy years together!!

Aqua Boy

Matthaios started his first swim class yesterday! He did so well- we were so proud of him! The water was a little chilly and it was a little windy outside, but he did surprisingly well. He squealed and laughed most of the 30 minutes we were in the water. He put his face in the water and drank quite a bit (yuck!), but didn't seem to mind. Dad arrived from work half way through the class and caught us in action. Matt's friends Mia, Eva, Logan, and Gordon were there with their moms, too!

"Happy Sunday Everyone, Matthaios here. Mom gave me a green onion to play with, but suprisingly, I liked the taste and decided to munch on it a little bit. I like most of the things Mom and Dad give me to try, even lemons, limes, taramsalata and hummus."

Greek Festival

Last week we went to the St. Sophia Greek festival with our friends. We ate so much good food (although not quite as good as my Mother-in-law's food) and enjoyed the music and dancing. Matt tasted feta, lamb and a little bit of Greek red wine- he loved everything until we started to dance and he threw up on me!

Skipped Again!

Another year gone by with no birthday! Damn! Thanks Mom for birthing me on February 29th. We had a nice day yesterday, even if it wasn't my official bday! Next year I have a real birthday- I'll be 8!
