Meet Eli Dean Porter

Our little boy will be here around September 21st!

We saw pics yesterday... he looks pretty cute to us!

We are both very excited and rather blessed!

We can't wait!

Dinner for us!

Over the past few months... we have been cooking some crazy menu items! So we decided to post them... simply for our pleasure... due to the fact that we have 2 blog followers. :)

So Al Pal and Jason... enjoy the sites... and we can cook any one of these dishes for you!

fish tacos

brownies pizza

chicken pot pie

chicken soup

Here comes Baby Porter!

Yup... you heard right. We are going to be parents! Yikes!

Baby Porter is due to arrive the first day in October.

We are very excited, yet pretty nervous! The past 4 months have been full of emotions... excited, freaking out, excited again.... but overall we are very blessed to see our family grow!

The first picture is the 'bean' at 9 weeks... and the second is a pic of Sara at 15 weeks. We will be finding out the sex of the baby at the end of the month... we'll keep you posted.

Surreal.

So, here goes another adventure with the Porters.

Thanks in advance for all of your prayers, love and support as we bring this little bean into this family.

Our New Home!

We have slowly started moving into our new home. 

We are a bit sad to say that we are moving out of our FIRST house together... but VERY excited to be getting away from the house that is sliding down the hill.

We decided to downsize but still go for a great location. We are Downtown Livermore... close to stores, movies and eats!

We are super blessed to be able to call this little place "home".

Spring Training 2009

This past weekend the whole family celebrated Mom & Billy's 25th wedding anniversary at Spring Training in AZ!

We were a split family some may say... A's vs. Giants!

On Saturday, we went to the A's Stadium and saw them face off with the Giants... and Sunday we ventured to the Giants Stadium to see the  full squad battle the Royals. 

Grandma and Grandpa got seats behind home plate... so we all took turns going to visit them and to get a closer look at the players.

Jacob got several autographs... and I ate several hot dogs.

It was a great family trip... and we both enjoyed being with the Selph/Linse clan. 

Justin and I are READY for baseball now!

  

I promise.

I promise to be a better 'updater' for this blog. I need to take some time out and post all of the happenings in the Porter Family! We have had a wonderful first Christmas together, a fun New Year... mini trips here and there.... and plenty of good meals. 

So... this is my promise to the faithful blog readers... I will update more!

In a week.... be ready for the best update of them all! :)

Wedding reception photos... finally.

I am super duper slow with updates.
I am just getting around to posting snapshots of the reception... this was 2 weeks after we got married. My mom and several friends came together and planned the perfect reception. Justin and I were able to spend time with friends and family in a more casual and goofy atmosphere. I actually was in a comfortable dress and didn't mind snacking on the desserts!
Blue and orange polka dots and plenty of candy.... what could be better. Such a special evening!


We enjoyed the evening so much!

We arrived in style!

Each person enjoyed a cup of coffee or tea!My nephew Nathan was soooooooooooooo excited. Plus he got all the candy he could handle!
