So much to be Thankful for this year!!!!

Welcome to the world Caroline Eleanor Fay Tumilty! Our daughter was born on Monday, November 10th at 2 a.m. at John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek, CA! She was 6 lbs, 10 oz and 18 inches long! After 2 weeks of early labor including being 3 cm. dialated, 90% effaced and experiencing many contractions, Caroline decided to arrive very quickly, only 2 hours at the hospital! Now we are at home taking care of our wonderful blessing and enjoying every minute!

On another note, we are also thankful this year for a successful 5 way by-pass surgery that my dad had last Friday. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery! Caroline is already doing her job cheering up her Grumpa!

A few pics of our humble abode!

For those of you who we haven't been able to host in our newest home, here are a few pics of our house!

Our House is getting ready for a new addition to our family

Lots of exciting things happening here! We are anxiously waiting for Baby Tumilty's arrival. Amazing how I can be this HUGE!!!

Many exciting things happen at school! Mr. Tumilty came to read to us and our Monarch Butterfly finally came out of it's chrysallis!

The Bearded Man

I can't seem to figure out how to upload all of the photos I want to post in this blog spot! Here is Johnnie T. with his end of the summer beard! The relief of the cool ocean breeze and heavy fog while we were at the beach was wonderful after weeks of 100 plus degree weather in W.C.!

More beach photos

Couldn't resist!!!

Update...Harvey's first beach day!

We had so much fun when we headed out to Dillion beach! Our day started by driving out toward Bodega Bay, but soon found out dogs had to stay on leash there so after lunch we headed to Dillion beach and found a great spot for dogs off leash! Harvey loved playing with all the dogs and romping in the surf! Of course since we was new to this experience he drank a lot of the salt water, ouch!!! He seemed to be okay after, thank goodness since we had a long drive home! We look forward to taking him to another beach soon! Maybe Carmel?

7 months and 3 weeks!

We were lucky enough to enjoy a wonderful, relaxing weekend which included watching a tennis tournament at Meadowood and catching up with Dad and Mike T. in St. Helena! Besides working we are getting ready for Baby Tums to arrive. The clock seems to be ticking now that I am back to work and much more active after the slow summer! We look forward to introducing her to the world sometime in November!!! Not a very flattering picture, but heck I'm pregnant! Chocolate Frosty anyone!!!

We love our dog, probably too much!

Harvey loves his giant, California King bed, especially with his teddy bear!

Taking a break while El Bell continues to work and help me get the curtains ready.

Wow, a very brownish ottoman!
Yes, a great looking ticking stripe ottoman!

A beautiful garden in the Careml Plaza where we did a little shopping!

Five Months and counting!

I guess it is time to share with you all what I look like pregnant! Yikes!

John and I went to celebrate our first anniversary at Metro in Lafayette! It was a perfect evening!
