charlene and ashley go to los angeles

Ashley and I went to LA for a baby convention. We left our hubbies and babies behind and made a little roadtrip out of it. It was great to be able to bond on the drive up (sans crying and whining - thanks to Christina who took great care of Fallon all weekend). We were able to accomplish a lot at the convention and a lot of shopping. We stayed at the Orlando (near Armand's/3rd/the Grove/Farmers). It was a blast for us - even just for one night. We were able to squeeze in dinner at Bhudda's Belly with the gang. It was also Ashley's birthday! She seemed to hit everyone's soft spots as she entertained us with her poop stories - it also encouraged Sung Hi to partake in the story-telling! Also, a BIG CONGRATS to the Mr. & Mrs. Jeremy Baker-to-be. Sung Hi & Jeremy are getting married on May 5th!! Yeah!!!

Ashley & Char road tripped it to LA!

ray and olivia visit

Ray and Olivia came to visit. It was the end of their meatless lent! Yeah, they did it! Fallon was thrilled as they brought her an Elmo doctor bag to help nurture her interest. She took all our blood pressures, listened to our heartbeats and administered medicine to all of us. She just loves them because they play so well with her, esp. making Uncle Ray roll her up in a "taco supreme!" I wonder where she learned that??

happy easter!

Fallon spotted the Easter Bunny coming out of the bathroom - bunnies have to go, too!


We didn't get to go on the egg hunt in Lake Las Vegas since Char had a bug:( We were too full to go anyway. Happy Easter Everybody!!

"Who's that Man?" It's Papa Joe!

Tita Betty, Uncle Joe and Annie were in town and we met up at FIX so Annie and I could get our mac and cheese FIX! The two of us preggers, Annie at 19 weeks and me at 17 weeks, enjoyed all our food while we basically used them to "pretend to eat" so we didn't look like we ate everything! And, despite Fallon's allergies, she was chattering up a storm with Tita Betty and kept asking her, "Who's that man?" (referring to Uncle Joe). "Why, that's Papa Joe," Tita Betty said! It was great to see them!!
