Her very own playroom
I am excited to share that we have plans to have a dedicated space for Caitlin to call her very own playroom.
Our current guest room is very large and with a small full sized bed and a computer in there, a lot of good empty space goes wasted. Our laziness gets the best of us and that free space ends up being the dumping ground for things that we don't know where they go... such as a plastic 6-foot Christmas tree, a 40 pound box of timothy hay, and a large stockpile of good cardboard boxes I cannot part with.
We have plans to partition the room so the guest area is more private and cozy and the remainder of the room will be dedicated for Caitlin and all her toys. Currently, it's a pain having Caitlin roam and crawl around the house since it's hard to keep the floors sanitized and spotless every minute of the day, everyday. The last thing I want is for Caitlin to get sick from ingesting germs or bacteria or salmonella (from the turtles) or guinea poop (from the guineas). With a smaller room dedicated for Caitlin, it will be easier to keep the floors sanitized and there will also be less traffic in that area, so it should stay clean longer. I also hate how our living area has been taken over by baby toys -- I think they should start paying rent. It will be great to exile all of Caitlin's toys to the playroom.
I am very excited and I can't wait to get the playroom set up. I hope to get everything done this weekend.

Our very first pictures
I found a folder on my desktop called "Very First Pic". It contained 2 very old pictures of Jeff and me from back in June of 2006.
I vaguely recall scrounging through my digital photos about a two years ago, trying to round up the earliest photos that Jeff and I took together and it appears that these 2 are it! I don't remember what I planned to do with these photos, but the project was apparently forgotten and abandoned on my computer desktop.
Might as well share them here!
Ah, don't we look so young?

I still remember this day... We went strolling together down 3rd Street Promenade (in Santa Monica) together for the first time, then we walked over to Ocean Ave, across the street from the Santa Monica Pier, and had lunch at an upscale restaurant (I think it was Italian)? I remember feeling really embarrassed because we were under dressed (look at Jeff's AMD t shirt!!). I don't remember what we had for lunch but I recall getting some type of ceviche for appetizers (odd since ceviche isn't Italian).
Don't remember the name of the restaurant and whether it still exists, but looking at the photo, it appears to be near the corner of Santa Monica Blvd and Ocean Ave, next to Sushi Roku (love this place!)
I'm thinking we should go back soon and look for it.

UPDATE:
After looking on Google Maps and Yelp, I think the restaurant is called Ocean Ave Seafood. And it appears to be an American seafood restaurant, not Italian.
Looking at their menu, I saw a "Baja Ceviche" on their appetizers list, so that has to be it! And the patio photo on Yelp looks familiar and could be where our photo above was taken:
