Most Precious Gift!

When I was a young girl, my favorite book was Grimm's Fairy Tales. I read it, and read it, and read it some more! I've always been a big fan of fairy tales. Of "Happily Ever After."

When we told our dear friend, that we were expecting our first baby, she was over the moon! Just like I had expected. What happened next, I didn't expect. Not at all! She came over with this book...


And told us, that it didn't matter, if we had a boy or a girl. That she was just praying for a healthy baby. For us. And this book, would be perfect for our baby! I'd have to agree 100%. It also doesn't hurt, that our friend is a big reader. Something is telling me, our baby is going to be blessed with many books! I just can't imagine a more perfect gift.

Shopping for Ninitos

It's almost Marianna's 1st birthday! Our goddaughter. Let's just say, we're so excited! Yesterday, Gabe and I went shopping. And let's just say, we had way too much fun, for adults, shopping for kids' toys.

I've recently noticed Marianna, playing a lot with Baby Jels' mailbox. Hmm, where did this mujer buy it? I don't know. I should have asked her. Instead, Gabe and I went on a hunt. And well...we found it...


I'm going to say it, I think we totally overpaid...$35! But that's because we couldn't find it anywhere. And ended up at a toy store. In hindsight, I should have looked online first. But we found it. And had a fun time, playing with all the toys!

Don't tell anyone, Gabe and I are just overgrown kids. Ya, I know. We're in our 30s, but honestly, we sometimes act, like we're 5 again. :) I'm pretty sure, Marianna is going to love her little mailbox. Oh, and we were also on the hunt for something cute. You know, for David Jr. What do you think...


With 4 older sisters, well, we figured that David Jr. could use something "manly." A tool set just screamed "Boy" to me. This is way too cute! We couldn't pass it up. So much so, Gabe bought 2! We're planning ahead here. What do you think? I can't wait to start shopping for our own little one!
