Videos coming soon and weekend update

I finally got some video of Gabriela walking and doing her "please" sign/dance. You'll know what I mean when you see the footage. I'm going to do my best to post them within a couple days.

In other news, Gabriela really started walking this weekend. Before she'd just take a few steps and resort to crawling. Now, she's taking many more steps at a time, and when she plops down she gets right back up to keep walking.

We had a nice weekend. We went out for Thai food on Friday and enjoyed the warm evening weather. Saturday we hung out by the pool with some friends and enjoyed some summer bbq action. Lane and I made a grilled corn salad with sweet onion, tomato, a fresh basil dressing, and the secret ingredient - bleu cheese crumbles. An instant favorite!!! Add some garlic rosemary grilled potatoes and lamb and red wine for our fabulous dinner. After arriving home, Lane and I had fresh peaches and ice cream for dessert on our balcony. Delish.

Sunday we got rid of all the empty boxes, unpacked more, tried (unsuccessfully) to figure out our living room furniture arrangement, and then went off to a tamale making potluck where we supplied the tamale meat. Our friend Laura has some friends who are great cooks. People made mango salsa, luscious corn pudding, a fresh avocado salad, and a homemade tres leches cake!!

We've had two weekends in the past three that have been full of socializing with friends. Could it be that our little family is (finally) emerging from the baby fog???

i don't think you guys were ever in a baby fog.
We have had dinner with friends like 2 dozen times since Mina was born and 80% of the time the other couple had kids too.
