Kappa Double Baby Shower - 9/20/09

We had a kappa baby shower today at my mom's house. It was a double shower for Kristen Greene and myself. Kristen and I were not only Kappas together at AC, but we also cheered together in college. We are both having baby girls in December (Kristen is due one day later than me, 12/14/09).
Hostesses: Erin Kaszynski, Heather Hale, Amanda Hope, Lyndsay Hannah and Giselle Gafford.

Bananas Incognito

It's funny how being pregnant makes you crave foods you generally would not eat. For example, I have disliked bananas for a very long time, however, for the past two months I have felt the urge to consume one every single day. So, I created (well, really stole the idea from Starbucks) a chocolate banana smoothie. In a blender combine 1 banana, 3 T of Ovaltine, 1/4 c soymilk, and 1 t flax seeds. Add two scoops of ice and blend for 3 minutes. What you get is a super-yummy, extra chocolatey shake that you can call a smoothie and drink every morning for breakfast. And I must say, my smoothie is healthier than Starbucks' version. And the best part, you can't even taste the banana!!

Pearce-visit Brunch

Martilda had a blast hanging out with the California family. From left, Freddie, Aunt Melanie, Natalie (and Martilda), Uncle Pat, Aunt Vikki, Aunt Alison, and Martilda's Embee (Bae). We had brunch at the Manicchia's to visit with Aunt Vikki and Uncle David (he's shooting the photo) during their short trip to Texas for a wedding. It was great to see them!
