Finally: Pics of the Living Room!

*You'll notice I still haven't found a coffee table I like, but the rest is done...

To Sgt. Peter Stadler, on Memorial Day:

Thank you for serving our country.  (I don't think that gets told to our troops enough).  It's because of soldiers like you that we can remain the "land of the free."  We know you're on your 2nd tour in Iraq, and you're missing being in California, so we just wanted to tell you how much we all love you and how proud we are of everything you are doing.  Be safe.

We all miss you very much!

Love, Your Big Sis & All the rest of your Family & Friends!

Dinner at Milagros for Sara's Birthday

Last night we celebrated Sara's birthday at Milagros (which happens to be a few blocks from our apartment). It has been really hot lately in Redwood City, so it was nice to have a dinner outside and some yummy chips & salsa. And the margarita's didn't hurt either :) We had a great night with good friends and good food. Completed by Sprinkle's Cupcakes out by the pool (since they tried to charge us $2/cupcake to eat them at the restaurant - no thanks!). All in all, it was one of those perfectly relaxing "summer-like" evenings...


Ry and I waiting for our table to be set up.


Orion loving the black beans!


Me & Sar.
(Did you read my post about the dress she wore on my fashion blog? It was gorgeous!)


Orion's "camera face". This kid is seriously so adorable.



The whole group :)

Update on Re-Decorating...

So Ryan and our friend Bo took a trip to IKEA this evening, and I think we finally have the finishing pieces for our living room re-organization (or should I say, MY living room re-org).  I will post pictures tomorrow showing you the finished...or close-to-finished product.

XOXO

P.S.  Why is IKEA always out of 1 (yes just 1) item that you need???
