SURPRISE!!!!

The 28th year of my life has started out on a wonderful note! God has blessed our family with a new little one! Baby Perez is due in May! We are thrilled and still can't believe that it is true! It is very very early so I ask that you say a little prayer for the health of our little peanut!

My FABULOUS 28th Birthday

A birthday kiss from my Sweet Caroline
Toasting the day with my bro and my mom...pineapple martinis! yum!
CHEERS! Here's to my mother who prepared a fabulous dinner for everyone! Thanks Mom!
Michael and Kara...I snapped this one in the middle of dinner:)
My little cupcake with icing all over her face doing her "SOOO EXCITED" face! Soo funny!

In my mind, I had planned on my 28th birthday coming and going relatively uneventful. However, to my great surprise, it turned out to be one of the best birthdays I have EVER had! Caroline slept great so I woke up very rested and excited about the day. Over coffee Tony gave me two very very sweet cards and an under the cabinet LCD TV which is just what I had hoped for:) But even better was that he had scheduled for me to have a massage that afternoon. (Thanks sooo much Tony, you are THE BEST husband ever) So just before noon, I dropped Caroline off at Gram and Gandpa's house to play while I had a fantastic brunch with my wonderful friend Rebecca. After brunch I had time to piddle around Friendly Shopping Center (which is an unusual treat) and then I stopped by my brother Jason's house for a visit before going to get the massage Tony planned for me. After the wonderfully relaxing rub down, I went back to my parents house to hang out with them and my sweet Caroline. We had a GREAT dinner (thanks mom) and a fun time with the whole fam! After a full day of birthday celebrating, I stopped by our neighborhood's wine wednesday group where they surprised me with a cake...that was sooo sweet and unexpected! The whole day was full of unexpected kind birthday wishes and very very gracious gifts. I went to bed with the biggest smile on my face and thanked God for all of my precious, special, and thoughtful family and friends who made my 28th birthday sooo wonderful!

First day of preschool!!!

Sweet Caroline before we left for her FIRST DAY OR PRESCHOOL in her precious little apple dress!
We were there a few minutes early! Pinky came along for moral support:)
I took this picture as I was walking out of the door. As you can see she jumped right in there and never looked back!

Caroline started preschool today and it was AWESOME! Of course I was very teary when I got in the car but it turned out that she didn't mind one bit that Tony and I were gone. Her teachers said she had a wonderful day, didn't cry one time and behaved very well! When I picked her up she came running to me and said "School is FUN!" Mommy also had fun going to the gym and running errands while Caroline went to school! :) We love preschool!!!
