Our first days in Oregon have been quite busy. Lots of family and friends have come to see us. Here are some pictures of Nicholas enjoying time with his family and exploring the special finds Oregon has to offer! More pictures to follow soon from our weekend with family...

Nicholas's Best Buddies

Nicholas spends lots of time with his friends. Two particular friends have been in his life for a long time- Cole and Page. This week, he played with his best buddy, Cole, at his house. They played outside with Cole's water table and had a blast. Nicholas and Cole are actually having conversations now. They are too cute together.



Nicholas's friend, Page, turned three this week, and we went to her birthday party today. Nicholas was particularly excited about this party because it was an "alphabet" party, and as most of you know, Nicholas is OBSESSED with letters... He tore through the house with all the cool letter decorations. They made a personalized hat and had a great time! Happy Birthday Page!

I'm ready to go Mom!

We are heading to Oregon on Tuesday... we might not post for a while. I am sure there will be lots of good pictures to share when we get back... love all of you!

A Beautiful Wedding (and Night Out!!!)

Matt and I got to leave Nicholas with GaGa this past weekend and head to DC for Cara and Brian's wedding... it was a big night out for us- a hotel room with no baby monitor is so exciting for us, and the wedding was an absolute blast... how could it not be with the Cueto family?? Here are some pictures. Congratulations to Brian and Cara ELIAS! We love all of you!!

The happy couple!

Look at this stunning guy!

Visit with GaGa

We had GaGa staying with us over the past week and a half. She was here to watch Nicholas for a wedding we went to this weekend (a post on that fun time will come- CONGRATULATIONS CARA AND BRIAN ELIAS!!). Nicholas had so much fun with his GaGa. This was the first time he understood that she was going to leave. When she told him she had to go yesterday, he said, "I don't want you to go GaGa. You stay with me please." It was so sweet. Thanks for watching Nick for us GaGa! We love you!

Chillin' with GaGa

The proof is in the...

Well, this little guy was not shy about showing us exactly what he was made of... even I could tell without the technician telling me he was a boy...


I think he looks a lot like Nicholas???


We couldn't be more excited about having another boy. I am so happy that I don't have to buy any "Disney Princess" junk. I am a mom of boys at heart... keep us in your prayers! Love to you all!
