My Latest Scraps

Ok, mass is done, dinner is done. Decided to sneak upstairs to update my blog, among other things. It was a whirlwind day today --- although I didn't bring Mom and Dad to the doctor, I did drive ALL OVER town with Roc and Rejy in tow buying food for tonight's mass.

We started with Two Guys in Italy (or something like that) to order 2 16" pizzas. Yum. Check.

Then off to Pasadena to Bucca de Beppo....but it was closed for lunch, can you believe it?!?!? Sheesh! What kind of restaurant would be closed for LUNCH for pete's sake! Sigh! That kinda ruined our plans; we were supposed to have lunch there too! Grrr!

Anyway, off we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for lunch AND for pasta and sauces for tonight. Yum yum! Check.

Costco was next in line where we bought the infamous 7 pound chocolate cake, 2 packs of rotisserie ribs and dinner rolls.

We needed some sort of main entree for dinner. Then it hit us: MACARONI GRILL!!!! Yeah! Off to Huntington Drive we went and got grilled salmon and chicken scallopine. Yum yum yum! Check. Wonderful choice! :)

{ALOHA}

Journaling reads: Ranger thoroughly enjoyed his first time in Hawaii. He had a blast splashing in the ocean; there was no stopping him! He would squirm when Mama would hug him for a photo of Diamond Head, he would grin with glee whenever he was in the water. We drove around the island of Oahu, stopping for lunch and some sightseeing. But it was on the beach of the HiltonHawaiian Village where Ranger jumped and ran in and out of the water, squealing with delight.

{TAKING ROGAN HOME}

Journaling reads: Only a mere DAY after he was born, Rogan went home. He had had a traumatic day at the hospital; he was circumcised. This rite of passage was done and over with. At least he wouldn’t have to suffer pain when he gets older. After the procedure, Rogan was very quiet. Maybe he could sense that he was going to be home and was cooperating with Mama and Papa as we flew about the hospital room preparing everything that would let us bring our firstborn SON home.
