Steamy Weekend in Gilroy

It was a hot one this weekend as temperatures made it well into the 80s. As you can tell from the picture above, Elle was much happier without her shirt. It was a pretty busy weekend at the Aspiras household. Friday evening, we typed up and printed Holden’s Baptism invitations. Saturday was a day of …

Bring Your Kids to Work Day

Today Elle reported for duty at eBay for their annual “Bring your child to work day”. She was greeted with her very own eBay badge and wore it proudly. After “shadowing” Daddy at his desk for awhile, she headed down to the cafeteria for some lunch and then a short stint in the Elmo bounce …

Elle & Holden

Many of you have been asking how Elle has been handling things since Holden’s birth. In response, we’ve said that she’s been great and completely loves her little brother. Now here’s the proof! Above is a litte video of the two together this Sunday. Notice how Elle keeps kissing him on the face. She does …

We’re Back from San Diego

I really wish we could have stayed longer to spend more time with our family and friends. We had a great time seeing our friends Kevin Sharp and Deb Glazner (now known as Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Sharp) get married as well as enjoying pizza and sandwiches with their families at the rehearsal dinner at …

Easter 2007

The Aspiras family had a fun Easter this year as Elle “experienced” the arrival of the Easter Bunny. Amy playfully rang the doorbell and Grandma Kathy brought her down to see who was at the door. Lo and behold, she found two Easter baskets filled with goodies for her and Holden. Later on in the …

Taxes are done!

The title says it all. I just hope our refund gets here in time for us to pay our property taxes. Looks like we’ll be finding more stuff to put on eBay!

Do You Know the Way to San Jose?

Well, San Diego actually. We will be packing up the car and leaving good ole’ NorCal in a couple of weeks for Kevin Sharp and Debbie Glazner’s wedding mid-April. For the road trip, I’m considering buying a GPS unit which I think might help other than just driving directions. Sure, one can go to Mapquest …

Holden’s Doctor Appointment

Hello All, Just wanted to fill you in on Tuesday’s appt with Holden. Good news is that he is up to 10 pounds, 3 ounces and 22 inches long. The doctor is pleased with his weight gain. He is at the 51st percentile for weight and 50th for height. Dr. Gali noticed that he has …

More Kisses

Here’s another picture from our “photo session” last Sunday. Elliott had a little accident tonight. She was running around after her bath and tripped over my foot, slamming her head into the door. She got a cut on her forehead and a rather big bump. She cried for some time but was back to her …

They Grow Up So Fast…

Cliché I know but oh so very true. Especially for me since I’m out of the house before 7:00 a.m. and back after 7:00 p.m. for work. By then, I usually have about an hour to spend with the whole family before Elliott goes to sleep. Holden turned one month old today and it seemed …

Were Back!

Well, not exactly but we’re close. We got the computer back on Monday but I’ve been busy restoring everything for the past several nights. At least I have enough to keep me dangerous. We’re still deciding on the pictures for the birth announcement but in the mean time, here’s a picture of Elliott whom I’m …

Sorry for the Technical Difficulties…

Hi Everyone! Our main computer is on the fritz and is now at the Apple Store having its logic board replaced. So much for finishing taxes this weekend. I’m writing this post on our old iMac but it’s a little bit slow and its location in the house makes it very tough to do any …
