Hungry?

How 'bout a Jacquie sandwich?

Happy Engagement Jess and Peter. We are so excited for your big day!


This was taken last weekend at the Engagement Party we held for Jess and Peter. It was beautiful. Twinkle lights, wonderful food and friends. Click here for more pictures of the party.

Dinner with the girls.

Ella likes to keep up her appearances. She tries to make it out to all the events in her social calendar.

Welcome to the World, Ella Pearl!

With the arrival of our precious pearl nearly 7 weeks ago and our recent move to Long Beach, this year has kept Mark and I quite busy. Maybe that explains why my last post was nearly a year ago. Although one would think that not working I would have plenty of time on my hands, or at least I thought so, but taking care of miss Ella has required much more time and energy than I ever could have imagined.

Since little Ella is already growing so quickly, I am hoping to keep this blog updated once a week or so, we'll see how that goes. Please save our blog in your favorites if you wish to follow.

August 8
Ella's first road trip. Everyone thought that we were crazy when we drove 5 hours north for Christina and David's wedding. But sweet Ella did such a great job. See for yourself...

Exhausted from the drive




With the girls

New York

Mark and I spent the weekend in New York. Here are some pictures from our trip...

At the Met
Mark calls this one "Chaotic order"

In the East village

Our only picture with the statue of liberty in the background (very small, to the right of Mark's head)...I'm glad our photographer got in the picture too...

Lunch at a yummy falafel place with Peter and Jess...

We had such a wonderful time. Being able to see Jess on the last leg of the tour, seeing Des at her new home in NYU dorms. It was hard to leave. New York is so beautiful in the Fall. Luckily the weather was beautiful. Hopefully we can go and visit again soon.

The Engagement 7.11.08

Although it was nearly two months ago, I wanted to post some pictures from Annmarie and Eric's Engagement Party. Mark and I hosted the party at our house and we were honored to have all the fellow Johnson lovers all in one place. We just celebrated their wedding last weekend...hopefully I can get those pictures up a little quicker this time.
