Holiday Party at Stockdale





It's the most wonderful time of the year at Stockdale CC. My first meeting with Santa Claus! What a hoot! I got to check out the carolers and watch Mom & Dad eat lots of holiday treats. Of course I had the usual... milk!

Happy Turkey Day! Gobble, Gobble!





Yesterday was my first Thanksgiving! We woke up, went to see Barri, Malia, RJ, and their Tutu to watch the Macy's parade...Dad thought that was kinda lame so he met the boys for some golfing fun. Later after my afternoon snooze we went to see the whole Valpredo crew. Even got some pics in with Papa Don, Sassy, and my cousin Ava.

July 4th 2007


It was a very hot, but fun Fourth of July at Stockdale Country Club. The fireworks were great and Baby V was quite responsive...definitely moving around a lot...I think the little one could hear all the big booms! Can't wait till our little firecracker decides to make his/her appearance!

Michelle's 29th Birthday!


Mike put together a little birthday celebration dinner without me knowing! It was so nice to have many of our great friends and family together. I was totally planning on staying home and being a boring 36 week prego, but he insisted we do something fun and I'm so glad he did!

High School Friends at my shower

Memorial Day Weekend in Maumee


This past weekend I went home to see all my family and friends! My mom, Meghan, and Lacha hosted a baby shower for me at Heatherdowns Country Club. It was so wonderful to see all my best friends from high school, college, and from living in Columbus! I feel so lucky to have such amazing people in my life! This was obviously my last trip "home" before the baby arrives. Kinda hard to believe that next time I am in Ohio the little one will be along too!

32 Weeks

Trip to St. Kitts


Mike and I went to St. Kitts last week. It was a nice final trip for just the 2 of us before the baby arrives...and you can't beat a free trip...glad I was able to win one this year!

Baby V's profile.

A sneak peak of Baby V!

This is the first picture of Baby V. We are so excited! The baby is certainly active and was moving around a lot for us...Mike thinks the baby looks like a boy, but has Michelle's features...My intuition is leaning towards a girl. It has been so fun to wonder and guess!
