Thanks Rivas Family!

Lulu has a car seat! (Lulu is the baby's fetus name by the way :) Thanks to Aunt Marsha, Uncle Ruben, Dan and Barb, and Jacqueline and Jarrid for this wonderful gift! Sweetie, my favorite stuffed animal as a kid is taking a ride in it (she's a meerkat)

Anthony's latest sculpture, Heliotropis

Anthony's latest sculpture is up at a private residence in New Jersey. from his website:

This cutting-edge sculpture created by artist Anthony Castronovo combines the beauty of glass and bronze with the technologies of solar power and microcontrollers. Heliotropis interacts with its environment by sensing physical changes in light, temperature, humidity, and wind speed to determine its form and behavior. www.acastronovo.com

33 weeks Pregnant!

I weigh 131 lbs! Just went to the Birth Center for a prenatal visit, and the baby's heartbeat sounds great.

Kayaking the Sopchoppy

For Anthony's birthday every year we try to go on a camping trip. On his last birthday (March 9, 2010) we went kayaking on the Sopchoppy River in Apalachicola National Forest..it's in the florida panhandle. "Sopchoppy" is a native american word meaning "long, twisted river." It was beautiful and we were the only people around...

Our little studio in the woods...

Hello family and friends! I decided to start a blog so even though we are far away, you can stay connected. Here is our new hobit home! It still needs some finishing touches: there will be a third window in the front, and we need to put trim around some windows. Anthony did most of the work, and I helped when I could...he did an amazing job. Anthony's step-dad, Dave helped a whole bunch too...as did his Mom. I'll post more pictures of the inside later...
