30 Weeks and Baby Gifts!

Thank you to all those who came out to our babyshower. We are very grateful to those who came all the way from Northern California (Berekly and San Jose) Luke will be very lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful friends and family. A special thanks to my sisters for putting together a beautiful baby shower, Shelley for making the cake, Irene for the homemade jamaica to add to our authentic mexican meal, Gaby for her veggie enchiladas and Linda and Bernie for providing all the fresh fruit!

We received such wonderful gifts and there is no doubt Luke will be the best dressed infant in town! He will definitely be stylin' with all the 'music' onesies he received. (RUN DMC, PINK FLOYD, BEATLES, AC/DC)

WE ARE FAMILY

UNO FAMILY REUNION

JUNE 25, 2010

There is nothing quite like family. Culture and heritage are very important to us. We both embrace this with open arms and will teach our son that family is always #1 and its important to know where we came from.

We attended the Uno family reunion held at the Japanese American Museum in Little Tokyo. The Uno family is Marc's maternal grandfathers side of the family. It was exciting to look at old family pictures dating back to the early 1900's and learn about the Uno family history and meeting many of Marc's distant relatives. The reunion consisted of a guided tour of the museum, a sushi making lesson, and a talent show.

I am extremely lucky to have my family so close and to be able to see them often. Something i sometimes take for granted.

Class of 2010

Congratulations and hats off to the High School Senior Class of 2010! We are so proud of you.

Happy Anniversary

June 2, 2010

I recently read an article about a couple who have been married for 50 years. When they first met she didn't speak English and he didn't speak Japanese. They didn't let this stand in their way and 50 years later they are in tune and still very much in LOVE. Some days I feel like Marc and I don't speak the same language but we know that there is no such thing as a perfect relationship. We have our ups and downs and we make it work. He still makes me laugh and gives me butterflies. I hope that in 47 years I'm able to tell our tale of love.

We spent our three year anniversary (yes i know, three years!!) enjoying dinner at Sanuki No Sato. It is a yummy Japanese restaurant where they make their own udon noodles. We stuffed ourselves then went home and watched some tv. It was a relaxing anniversary but there really isn't much to do on a weekday when you are 6 months pregnant.
