Baby Pants!!

Vera Suzanne Pantazis arrived on Sunday, February 3rd at 3:51 pm, weighing in at 7 lbs, 3 oz and lying 20 1/4" flat. So far her favorite activities are sleeping, nursing and chewing blankets. Both mom and tot are doing just fine. Can't wait for you all to meet her!!

9 Mos. and counting...

It's 4:15 pm on my due date and still no baby. So much for a January baby - John is positive that it will try to make its escape right around kickoff on Superbowl Sunday - I don't care when it is, as long as it is soon! Wish us luck!

8 Months!

John and I are back in NY after our Xmas in Iowa. We are just trying to get things ready for baby - here's an 8 month pic for y'all and a couple from NY.

Xmas in Iowa

I've decided to post pictures on picasa from now on - here is the link to see pictures from our trip back to Iowa for Christmas:

I hope that works.

We had a terrific time. We did lots of snow-related activities, a cookie decorating party, a baby shower, lots of present opening, lots of relaxing, and lots of indulging.

7 Mos!

Thanksgiving in NYC

We headed to NYC to stay with Katie and Karl over Thanksgiving - it was a great, fun-filled long weekend!

Here are John and I at the top of the Rockefeller Center


John, the nutcracker


Helen, the Rockette


The Rockette's Christmas Spectacular!! We had tickets to see Les Mis, but there was a strike, so we went to see the Rockettes instead.




Katie and Karl, enjoying cupcakes at their favorite cupcake place. John and I ate ours too fast for them to be documented.
