Family, friends, travel, living different places, cooking great meals to share with great people, fashion, really good coffee and lots of it, the beach, downtown San Clemente, red wine or vodka tonics, a great pair of heels, listening to the rain, chilly nights outside with a blanket and Jeff, knitting (I KNOW! What am I? 80?), great movies that make me laugh, taking long drives listening to Radiohead, laughing, loving, my new found addiction to selling everything in our house on eBay, decluttering, decorating the house, telling great stories, Rowdy Yates, our local farmers market and my favorite toothless farmer, my cat, crossword puzzles, New York City, taking the HOV lane, Christmas lights, the EMO bean, Saks, biting my nails, examining my navel, dirty dollars, and last but not least (most certainly the most important):
Dillon's first smile in the morning
Watching my husband and my son play
blowing raspberries on D's tummy
His first laugh
His first crawl
His first everything....
MY family is everything....

i am so happy for you guys... boys are great, and they will be the best of friends... (most days) how far are yours going to be apart? mine are 22 mos.
why hello there mrs. preggo. i miss your face and your two colored eyes and your "bad delilah!" how is she doing anyway? when are you due? i want to trek out there sooooo bad.... oh it's in my future don't you worry.
Hey - I haven't been on for a couple days (I'm at OC) and apparently I missed some big news!! Congratulations! Oh and I saw your Berger comment on Kiki's page - funny story - don't ever give your two year old a Berger cookie unless you want them to run around in the surf like they are on crack then keep you up talking and singing from 12pm until 4:30 in the morning... holy smokes!
yeah!!! the secret is out... congratulations!!!! i am so happy for you guys... it is so hard to believe all the kids i used to watch are now having babies and more than 1.. your two will be closer than mine but i would not change it for the world. they are the best of friends (and worst enemies at other times...) but they do not know what it is like to not have each other... keep me posted...
congratulations.... buying a house is so exciting... where is it located? east coast, west coast? do you all rent the house you are in now? can't wait to hear all the details....
You made it back safe and sound! I'm SOOOo glad you made it down to visit! Dillon is adorable and so good! Hopefully it won't be such a long stretch when I see you again. And, I know it's a short time away, but pencil in Aug 9th for our shower if you HAPPEN to be in town :)
So I was driving and saw a sign that said Watch for Children.. and I thought to myself that sounds like a fair trade... I guess it depends on the Watch
