Sewing, new computer and baby registries

What a productive weekend! Friday night we had dinner with my parents. It was an early Chinese New Year dinner since my sis and bro will be out of town next weekend. Fung's Kitchen - you know you love it! Then Bryce's parents came over on Saturday night for dinner. Bryce made bruschetta for appetizers, grilled up some prime NY strip steaks, asparagus and made stuffed mushrooms. Check out the twin mushroom!! I've seen my share of double yolk eggs (my dad always showed Ruby and me when he found one) but never a double "headed" mushroom!



While Bryce was cooking, my MIL taught me how to use my new sewing machine! It's just a lot easier when someone actually SHOWS you how to use it vs. reading the instructions. Of course, in hindsight, the instructions now make more sense. Here are a few pics of my new skillz. :) My next step is to make a pillow. Stay tuned!





All last week Bryce has been waiting patiently for his various computer parts to be delivered. It all started when I got him Grand Theft Auto IV for Christmas. It became apparent that his current video card was extremely out of date. As you know, one thing led to antoher and now we have a whole new computer that is SUPER FAST!! And he can now play his game and the new video card is awesome. :)





And finally I spent all Sunday finally tackling the daunting task of registering for baby stuff!! We're not quite done yet but at least we finally started. It's actually pretty fun once you get started. :) Much like wedding registries, there's always more stuff than you think and it all adds up quick.
