More December at Home

So- I have re-attempted outdoor lights.  And they have actually remained up for 3 days now so I think the clips are working.  Does this look like 2 days of work to you?  Ben says that it's a learning year- next year we can improve upon it. I still think it looks nice.  Some turbo person down the street has massive ornaments hanging from an outdoor tree and this elaborate display.  I have decoration envy. 

 

And the pups new haircuts... I swear I got a request - check the comments!  Unfortunately they weren't willing to do much more in the way of posing so this was all I got...

We have O'Neil in town this weekend and he and Ben had an incredibly active day of surfing at County Line yesterday.  And last night Ben and I saw the movie "Slumdog Millionaire" which was amazing. Go see it.  Seriously go see it today.

Ben's gearing up for his surfing expedition in Nicaragua with Jimmy next week.  I will be heading to Italy for the birth of the miraculous BABY MANETTI, and as much as I tried to convince Ben that this was a trip he did NOT want to miss- he opted for South American waves and Jimmy over Italian hospitals, tears by me, and all things baby. Go figure.

So stay tuned!  I'm sure to be overly exuberant with posts on the new babe in town, and Jimmy has promised me all SFW pics from their manly trip.
