Aaah...the wonderful world of travelling. It sounds so glamorous, so easy....so I thought! Steve and I are planning a vacation to Varadero, Cuba in April. Of course, we have to acquire passports and all of that good stuff, which is easy for Steve but not so much for me. You see, I was legally adopted by a step-parent oh, let's say 12 years ago, maybe even longer than that. All documents that have my birth name are no longer valid (ie. birth certificate). I now have to complete a legal name change, receive a new birth certificate, and then proceed with the passport application. Fingers crossed that this all goes smoothly! I keep having nightmares that we're at the airport and I don't have a passport!

Also, I've noticed that a lot of our friends and family have decided to go on vacation as well...what can I say...we're trendsetters! I can see myself on the beach, with an ice cold umbrella drink :) Stay tuned...

The wait is over! Caleb John Allen made his debut on Wednesday, January 11, 2006 at 1:10 a.m. 5 lbs 15.05 oz, 21 inches long. Mom and baby (and daddy too!) are doing great and should be home shortly. Welcome to the world little one! The adventure begins...

The waiting game has officially begun....
My beautiful sister Stacey, is about to give birth to her first baby....a week ago! She was due on New Year's Day, but alas, the New Year's baby has come and gone. She was induced today and now the waiting game begins.

Why does it seem that this is the longest few days of my life? I'm not pregnant, so I can't even imagine how she must feel...with a human growing inside of her, getting bigger by the day (with no desire to come out, I might add)! I'm the proud auntie though, and I really cannot wait to see what my sister and her wonderful husband have created. I'm awaiting a phone call to tell me when to come to the hospital, and I become very anxious every time that the phone rings. Soon enough, I tell myself, soon enough....

See you soon little one! Can't wait!
