On Sunday I met a nice lady selling hoops in the fremont Sunday market. Eager as always to try something new, I tried one on. It was really tricky at first, but now I’m hooked.

Hula hooping

Annabel’s Birthday Dinner
We had a dinner party for Annabel’s birthday – spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread and icecream cake – what more could a girl ask for?
I made Annabel a special card. She had a lot of help opening her presents.
Haute couture for both Audrey and Annabel: my sister’s dress was hand-made by our friend Kay, Audrey’s by her Grandma. It’s hard to look this good.
We’re best friends!
Happy 1st Birthday


For Annabel’s first birthday – I’ve redesigned my blog for her and updated the website. You can now also find us at www.benannabel.com For those of you who don’t already know, you can also reach Annabel via her email annabelbillings@gmail.com or see her on twitter http://twitter.com/benAnnabel.
For our birthdays – Mom and Dad started a new annual tradition of having our portraits taken. We were really happy with our photographer – Lydia Goolia – when she has her website updated, I’ll post it here.
