Trick or Treats!

Today, while Daddy finished up painting the nursery, Baby Mavrakis was busy making her cousins in Arizona Halloween treats.  Since we can't be there with the boys while they dress up in costumes and wander the streets in search of candy, we thought we'd send them some goodies. We love and miss you Nathan and Brandon.  Baby Mavrakis can't wait to trick or treat with you one day!

Nursery in Progress

Like I said, Mike and I are expecting our first baby in February.  We couldn't be more excited and a bit nervous, well at least I'm a little nervous, but thrilled more than anything!  Our baby girl is expected to make her debut appearance on February 9th, 2014.  Tonight we started working on her room beginning with the paint.  To help out since I couldn't paint, I taped up the room, let's hope that the lines come out even...the walls were a pain when I was measuring.  

Here is our baby girl at 18 weeks

He was excited to paint! ;-)

2 Years and Counting...

On Oct.16, 2011, Mike and I were married in a beautiful ceremony and reception at the Raven Golf Club at Verrado in Buckeye, AZ.  We had all of our loved ones with us which made the day extra special.  I thought I would be nervous that day, but I was just the opposite.  I felt relaxed, completely happy and at ease, it was as if I was floating on air. ;-) However, we never imagined we'd be spending our 2nd anniversary at Hanscom Air Force Base near Boston, MA, which is where we live now.  A couple months after we were married, Mike who is the United States Air Force, received orders for us to PCS (Permanent Change of Station or which I like Panic-Cry-Scream, lol) that summer.  We had bought a home and were ready to plant our roots in Arizona, but like I said life has its bumps.  So here we are in the heart of "The Cradle of Liberty" and I wouldn't want to plant these temporary ;-) roots with anyone else.  <3

Just a few of my favorite shots of our big day...I love going back and looking at these photos!

We celebrated our 2 year anniversary this weekend by doing some sightseeing and having dinner in one of my favorite places in downtown Boston, the North End, aka Little Italy.
