This is my nephew Alex and my sister Laura. They visited me at Christmas this year. Alex likes video games, ice skating and movies. His favorite movie is Harry Potter 4, (at least so far). His favorite video game is Lego Star Wars. He would like to go to college to be an architect. His mother, Laura, is working on her Phd in Psychology.

I just completed my Pastry Arts Certificate in December. It's more of a hobby than anything, but basically I like to make delicious and beautiful pastries. Someday, I might like to open a wine & cheese shop with specialty chocolates & pastries. This is a wedding cake I made for a friend last fall. I'm still a novice, but I learn something new from each project I complete.

Here I am 37 weeks pregnant. After one final attempt using a different procedure, we finally got pregnant and are expecting our first baby on March 17.

These are our beautiful oriental shorthair cats, Chloe', Abby & Niles. They are very spoiled, and in for a rude awakening when we have our first baby next week.
