Baby Torzillo Shower

The sisters in my hall through me a baby shower on Saturday. So many people thought of Tulip too... which was so loving! We all had such a great time.

These were taken on October 22. A friend did my hair and makeup and another friend did the photography. Something a little dramatic...

Tulip turned 3 today so we thought it was a good time to get another family photo taken :)

Yakima Valley, Washington

We went camping with some friends this past weekend. These pics were taken just above the Yakima Valley.

Visit from our cousins... July 24 & 25, 2010

It was a beautiful (hot!) day so we went to the water park...

Afterwards, we had a very tasty traditional Japanese meal at a great sushi restaurant in Gig Harbor... Thank you Takayuki and Asako!! :)

Our world famous chef explaining the special menu he prepared for us :) And quite literally 'prepared for us' ... he had special menus printed up for our dinner!

Everything was beautifully prepared - and the food just kept coming...

This was a special dish the chef made for me since I couldn't eat sushi.
Apparently raw fish is out, but 24kt gold is ok ;)

The chef requested a picture with us
