Hey everyone!

Thanks for all of your emails, facebook messages, myspace messages and phone calls. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to get back to everyone just yet, but know that I’m getting your messages!

Lucy is here! She was 8lbs 3oz and 20.3 inches long. She was born Friday, 11.28.08 at 4:30pm on the dot. She is an absolutely perfect baby and we are having so much fun getting to know her.

Having said that, Kevin and I are exhausted! I haven’t been online very much (compared to normal) and I haven’t been answering all my calls. Please don’t stop calling! Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received. We are getting our bearings, feeling our way around, and taking naps when able.

Here are some new photos of Lucy. I know many of you have already seen them at one place or another, but here is the place where I will always be keeping new photos.

Keep checking back, I’m sure we’ll have more photos soon.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that all is well and we are doing great. I can’t wait to talk to all of you guys about everything and hope that you get to meet her soon!

Love,

Shekira

Kevin calling from campus

Kevin: So I was walking to throw something in the trash can and I tripped on a dildo.

Shekira: What??

Kevin: I’m not kidding.

Shekira: You should take it to the lost and found.

Because it was too good to keep confined to your myspace and I never have anything good to put on my blog…

At last I have completed…MY MASTERPIECE!

Lisa, for your birthday, I wanted to find a nice photo of us looking beautiful and fabulous - but sadly due to our living so far apart for so many years, I was only able to find this photo of us circa 2000.

Though this is a good example of how painfully cool we are, I feel it no longer represents us as 1) I don’t smoke anymore and 2) You no longer own that couch. So in an effort to provide you with an updated look at the Lisa and Shekira of now, I give you this:

That’s right, I have put my head on Jenny’s. Deal with it.

Happy Birthday! It’s high time for a new photo shoot. Perhaps over Thanksgiving?

It seems I have tricked Kevin into staying with me for yet another year. (FOOL!) We are celebrating year 2 in our marriage, but are closing in on 5 overall. Love you, Kevin Precious!

My brother Eian (aka Fatness) is 25 today!

Shocking, I know - but it’s true. In honor of such great heights I give you THE CHEETAH, yet again. You just can’t get enough of it.

Happy Birfday Fatty!
