Happy St. Patricks Day!

We spent St. Patty's Day at Martha and Serdar's House. They made a delicious Irish meal complete with homemade Guiness Ice Cream. YUMMY!!

Christmas!

Chillin' on Christmas morning!

Gammy Phyllis and Bob came to visit!

His favorite movie (for this month anyway!)

Our friend Jon from Tex-ASS. These two used to cause trouble together at the University of Texas in Austin.

The best dishwasher in town!

Me and Martha, my friend and look-a-like sister. Well , actually she looks more like Maggie Gyllenhall than me but you can see the resemblance!

Her fabulous hubs, Serdar

This is how we roll. Literally. In our Spiderman Undies. Which, buy the way, were later on pooped in as someone was too excited and forgot to go the bathroom. I hate it when that happens to me.

Foti and I the night of the ER Christmas Party. This is our only pic together as I was off drinking and acting a fool and he was hiding behind his beer watching a sad, pathetic Dallas Cowboys game at the bar.

Me and my boys. Oh, how I love them and am grateful for them.

Happy Thanksgiving...

...from a big turkey!!

Serdar, Foti and Matty doing some strange soccer pose. I didn't get it- I guess it's a boy thing.

Grammy Paula, Matty, Me and Martha-way cuter.

Matty loves his "Gam"

Serdar roasted a great bird! Martha was the sous-chef.

The guys wanted to watch football but Matt wanted to watch "In-Ked-Ibles" (AKA "The Incredibles" to those of you who do not speak half english, half greek, all toddler). Hope your Turkey day was as good as ours!

Halloween Masquerade Party! (A bit late!)

Me and my devil!

I think he's cuter without that mask...

Paul dressed as Dr. Rich, the captain of our ship!!

Dr. Tony the Pimp with all his high-class ER hoes!

Me and Marcela, "Miss Election Day" (P.S. Vote for Change!)

Jorge and Juan Carlos with his wife.

Our Madame Phyllis with our Pimp!

The boxer, the Pirate (AKA Dr. Rich- the captain of our ship) and the Viking!

Halloween on Lincoln

Happy Halloween!

We had a fun, busy Halloween week! Check out the pics:

Foti and I with Martha and Serdars crazy wigs.

Matty with his two best girls, Eva the Princess and Mia the Ladybug. We went Trick-or-Treating on Lincoln Road.

Mom and Matt in his Thomas the Train costume.

Matty at school waking up from his nap. His best friend/worst enemy Jake was gently patting his back to wake him from his nap. Usually they are kicking, pushing or (cringe) biting each other. What a nice change!

YUM-O!

Matt's School Party. One of his teachers was out sick that day so guess who was the substitute in a room with 12 two year olds? Yup, you guessed it. Moi. I *so* needed a cocktail after that day!

My little motorcycle dude.

"Can I have both beaters Mom?!?"

" Check out my first cupcake making experience! I was a great helper!"

Independence Day!

We spent July 4th at our friends Mike and Karen's. They had a nice cookout and fireworks. Matthaios of course had fun playing basketball and running around.

He loves playing basketball with Uncle Mike since he is so tall!

Aunt Karen lifts him almost as high, though!

Eva and Veronica with the almost-naked boy. His clothes were so dirty and wet he ended up in his pull-ups!

Christmas Morning

Miami Christmas

Christmas Day we had the whole gang over- it was so much fun! Lots of work but worth it! We miss our families on the holidays, but our friends make such a difference.


Us and our sidekicks, the 'Mardars'

Awww...

Us with Billie and Devin. Logan and Adam stayed home 'cause Logan was being a stinker. We missed him!

"Listen , Mia, I know you are cute and all in your party dress, but I am not so sure 'bout you on my new bike from Grammy and Pappy, sister. You'd look better on the back with me driving!"

"Hey Mom, check out my big boy Harley bike from Uncle Mike and Aunt Karen! Mia ain't ridin' on this one!

Aunt Karen with Daniel and Matt. We're trying to stimulate her eggs, 'cause she's next!

Matt with his Daddy and Yia Yia
