Baby Marquita has arrived!

Welcome to this world! Baby Marquita Lyn Eliopulos was born on Monday, May 19 at 9am. She's 6lbs, 19" and absolutely adorable! Daddy and Mommy were able to take her home on Saturday, May 24 (she was slightly jaundiced and had an infection so they kept her in the hospital a few extra days). Congratulations to Gus and Terra, she is beautiful!!!

Las Vegas!

A Vegas Adventure for my 30th birthday! What a wonderful trip, starting out with dinner with at Olives on Thursday night at the Bellagio. We sat on the terrace and enjoyed an amazing meal as we watched the water fountain show every 30 minutes. Then we saw "O"...such a mesmerizing performance. Margie flew in Friday morning so we promptly changed into our suits and headed out to the pool (note: the tops of your feet can easily burn! Don't let this happen to you!). Dad and Kale joined us after their golfing adventure, dozing off since they had to get up at 5:15 that morning! John and Jen joined us that night for a drink at the Eiffel Tower bar and then it was off to dinner at Mesa Grill. (Highly recommended!) We spent some time in the lounge and then hit the Paris casino. By the time 6:30am rolled around I knew it was time to head to bed! (I sat in the same chair at the blackjack table for...um...about three hours. I'm still impressed with myself since I rarely stay up past 11pm). We took it easy on Saturday, starting out with brunch at Mon Ami Gabi and then to the Wynn to meander about. Margaritaville was calling our name that night and then it was back to the Bellagio for some exciting blackjack moments with our favorite dealer Barbara. (again, we were at the same table for about 3 hours!). Before we knew it Sunday was upon us and we had to head back to Portland, Boise, San Francisco and LA (boo hoo). Thanks to everyone for such a memorable trip!

Hagg Lake Run

I almost didn't make it to the race (got lost outside Hillsboro for a fun hour or so)....but we magically found our way and arrived 4 minutes before the start. Eileen and I had a great 10k run and notice that we are sporting our Team Athena shirts :)
