The families met at the Outback Restaurant in Corona, kind of half way between everything, and Ryan's favorite place to eat beef! We ended up getting more pictures of the baby than of Ryan, but, all in all we had a great time.
We celebrated Alia's first birthday on November 8th with Aunt Katie and Uncle Mike at Las Cazuelitas. Alia is such a good baby! She is always happy, even when she is tired and at a restaurant! The following day we celebrated with friends and family at Magnolia Park in Upland. It was cool that day, but it was a success! Alia loved playing on the playground equipment! That evening family and a few friends came to dinner here for home made mac and cheese. Alia loved it, as did we all!
For some reason I didn't post Doug's fantastic pictures of Alia the end of September. I really though I had and looked back ... and ... well, here's the link: Alia's Pictures. Make sure to view the slide show. He is a wonderful photographer and Alia just loves him (and the wonderful Great Aunt Tina who's in the background making faces!!) Here's just one to get you enticed enough to go and look at Doug's blog. His website is www.dougmiranda.net
October has been a busy and fun month. Here are some pictures of Alia and the rest of the family at the end of the October. The beautiful woman with Tom is Share Starwas, our favorite psychic.
