Last Sunday Doug and I were able to baptize our 2nd official Godson! We felt very priviledged to be asked of this by Lauren and Ryan. It was at Holy Rosary in Downtown/Midtown Houston. 
Evan Patrick Heffernan had a great time playing with his bare feet throughout the ceremony. H was able to wear a baptismal gown that's been in the Heffernan family since the 1940's!
Our friends Melissa & Sean Forey welcomed their beautiful twins, Chance Matthew and Brynlee Grace into the world last Tuesday, March 10th. 
Happy One Week Birthday! If you're interested in reading her incredible delivery story, you can access her blog through our links on the left-hand column. 
This weekend was very cold, but Doug and I were up extra early on Saturday morning for his 1/2 Marathon Run in Seabrook. I took the video below during his first half. He was smoking!
Woody and Shiela were back again this weekend to work on the baby's room. The wainscoating was painted and we purchased the paint for the Seuss-stripes that will be going up too. Things are moving along and looking beautiful!
Last Sunday, March 7th was Donna's birthday. We celebrated at Nani's house with some of Mammer's delicous Hummingbird cake and Crave cupcakes! Ryan was in town too, so Doug got to spend some good time with him--I was doing school things as usual... :/The night before, my sister and Joel celebrated a party at their house for their nuptuals in Vegas back in November. The cake was delish! It was great to see my Abuelito, Brandon, and cousins--as usual. :o) 
I've never seen work like this done, so it's fun to see it first hand. Thanks so much Woody and Shiela! 
Ryan is in town this weekend. Doug, Ryan T, Ryan H and Quinn are out watching "Watchmen" right now. I'm sure I'll have pics of Ryan to post soon. Tomorrow is Donna's birthday, so I'll be sure to snag some there.
Just a quick entry about Doug's run this weekend. Early Saturday morning it was VERY windy and VERY cold. This kind of wind was not ideal for running...Doug braved it out (along with Ryan Peterson) and again finished faster than he thought. I'm so proud of Doug for taking up running with the enthusiasm and stamina he has shown. Normally he's my spectator, so I'm not sure what's gonig to happen when we're both racing together. Babysitter anyone? Haha. He has another half marathon in Seabrook in 2 weeks. Let's just hope for better weather...
We ran into the mother-and-daughter team of Marilyn & Amy. They were there to complete the 10K too.
Doug is doing a very brave thing and giving up all beef/pork products for Lent. He's also giving up CHEESE!! I'm giving up gossip sites on the internet: people.com and perezhilton.com. They're part of my usual daily web-site browsing, so it'll hopefully allow me to use my time more productively.
Well we have started on the nursery by first picking up the furniture--gotta start somewhere, right? My dad brought the boxes over on Thursday and Doug and I spent Saturday just opening them up. We still need to stack the hutch/dresses and put the crib together. Here's what we're looking at so far: 
Yes, we're keeping a surfboard (my Jamaica-colored Fry in the corner) in his room. Woody will be coming by soon to install the baseboard molding and painting some Dr. Seuss stripes.
Don't worry, none of these ladies is me. Ha. I started aqua classes this past week for the first time (since being pregnant). For the first time I felt like I didn't have a belly. It was nice to be reminded that I still have ab muscles.
