Out with Blue and White back in with Red and Green OHHH and 1st Decree!
What we know now, first decree is official as of Dec 3rd! We wait for travel packet and more paperwork to arrive later this week. We should be traveling sometime towards end of January! I have not been able to call everyone as we have important renewal papers we are dealing with. These are most recent photos of Kimi we have.
Happy Hanukkah

Look at those candles, and no fires were started it's a miracle!

Over The River and Throught The Woods....
When you live in SF it's over the bay and through the Golden Gate Bridge to Grandmothers house we go... We had Thanksgiving at Kimi's adopted Grandparents house in beautiful Sonoma. This is also where our wedding rehearsal dinner was it's like being somewhere in the French countryside. Thank you to our kind hosts Sandy and Rick and to our families who graciously excused our absence this year. The dinner was delicious everyone brought a different dish and we had two turkeys, one was smoked in an egg? One of the traditions is to go around and say what you are thankful for, Sandy always makes everyone cry, it is so sweet. This year we have so much to be thankful for family, health, and friends. It was even more special because our friend Gurjeev who had a lung transplant earlier this year was with us and in good health and spirits.
Sandy, Ken, and I
Chris and Carries Baby Grant @6mos, he can't wait to play with Kimi!

Can you name that cop?
Can you name that cop? Officer Jim Dangle from Reno 911..I'm the perp are you LOL yet? We had to walk right next to a bunch of riot cops on our way to the party, and I said," nice costumes" they just laughed at us. The funny thing is my sisters husband is a Sheriff in Los Angeles.

Puppies and Hellgate London on same day
I think we left of at the old blog with Ken's game coming out on Oct31st Hell Gate London, they are continually working out the kinks of network issues. There are still more launches around the world to come next year. The other game is Mythos. It is a free online game in beta right now. It is mine and Kimi's favorite game it is prettier than HGL.
Our dog Sabrina had puppies which happened on Ken's launch day he had to go to work after puppy #2 arrived. Luckily I work in labor and delivery so it was no big deal. Actually Sabrina did all the work I fell asleep and she had two more pups quietly for a total of 4. 4 weeks old pictured is Tiffany, Go-Go (doggie in Mandarin), Holiday, and the only boy Gary Cooper. The mama is Sabrina who is the only dog we will be keeping. Don't you want one for X-Mas?

Baby Shower
I have to admit I have been living it up the past few weeks. Last week I met my mom, aka "SusieMom" and headed to a fabulous B&B in Santa Cruz, Inn at Depot Hill. We started doing this years ago when Ken was in crunch season at work. The Inn is near my sister in Laws house. It is a cute victorian place that used to be a train depot. It poured rain on Friday while we made a stop in the mall for something. Everytime we tried to leave there was a whiteout of rain. So we kept shopping for the baby of course! On Sat my cousin Nancy and sister in law Sharon threw Kimi a baby shower! It was fabulous! Ken and I are lucky to have wonderful friends and family helping us welcome our daughter. There were people I had not seen in a long time which made the shower special. The party was at Nancy's house, it is beautiful and perfect for parties! Thank you to everyone who showered us with love and gifts. Sorry to those who could not make it I missed you . A few photos were too blurry to publish there were many spectacular gifts you will see them on Kimi. Again, Thank you all for sharing the special day can't wait for everyone to meet Kimberlyn.
