It’s a Boy!

We’re expecting on August 3 this year. We just found out from the ultrasound specialist today that it’s going to be a boy =).
And So It Goes
October 5th, 2009
The weekend, the wedding, the friends and family, living up the “in sickness and in health” part of the vows before the big day, all of it went by in a blur and left me wandering around the house today in a bit of a post-cathartic slump. Some random thoughts on the weekend:
- I asked Fej and Alexandra where Alan and Moneal disappeared to sometime during dinner, which Alan and Moneal answered for themselves when they demoed their T-Pain moment later that night. It was actually kind of sweet where I was expecting something rather perverse.
- Wendy and I were really touched by how nice everyone was about everything, from the ceremony and setting to the food and drink. I will have to apologize to Fej and Johann for not plating them a 2 lb. ribeye and an ear of corn for old time’s sake.
- I still get a kick out of Fej saying “Wendy, you have too much faith in me…” in response to Wendy asking him why he didn’t just use one of the rear doors of her car. He didn’t realize her car had four doors rather than two and had been trying to fold the front passenger seat down (as I sat in it) to climb into the back seat. Our Friday night session did not end well for the prospective groom. I’ll say it again. Moneal, mission accomplished.
- I carried the same silly grin from the vows to my pit stops at a few tables during dinner to everyone that was rocking out to The Darkness on the dance floor to all of us, 15+ strong, belting out “Enter Sandman” in unison at Do Re Mi. Most of our closest friends were there with us each step of the way, and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
- Wendy looks so pretty (and hot!) in the sneak peek wedding photos that Vincent posted already.
- I felt so bad about the folks who missed the ceremony (especially my Aunt Mary and Uncle Ted who drove all the way up from L.A. that morning). We hadn’t realized how bad it would get this past weekend with so many things going on in the city that day. And then the hotel lied about the rooms and everything… argh…
- It was rather fitting that Jeff reprised his role as the third wheel of the Wendy/Albert tricycle at the Ferry Building on Sunday morning. That was how we began 10 years ago, and it’s how we begin again from this point onwards.
The next project is to put together a little DVD for anyone that wants a copy (especially the friends and family who missed the ceremony or couldn’t attend the wedding).
Sometimes They Just Know

You know your brother knows you when he buys you a 6 lb. slab of prosciutto and a block of knives for your wedding…
Mmm… meat and meat implements…
