We have very exciting news to share with all of you! Although we've known for a while, we feel like now is the best time to spill it. Here it goes... My Little Jules family is expecting a baby girl due to be born on April 29! Little Jules is very excited to have a little sister to play with (and share all her toys with, ha!) and Peter and I are very-very happy - more cute little models for us, lol! Both Peter and I are the only children, I have a little sister that was born right before I moved to the United States from Russia, so I really never had a chance to bond with her. Both of us always longed for siblings that are close to our age, so we are delighted to give Little Jules such a wonderful gift! My first pregnancy was very easy and I couldn't have asked for more with this one either. No morning sickness, no crazy mood swings (although Peter might tell you otherwise, but what does he know), no extreme cravings or bad fatigue. In addition, a lot of our friends are either pregnant with their second ones or have just had babies. It seems like everyone is prego in 2011!

On the other note, our holidays were quite calm and relaxing. We took a few days off from work and focused on the family and friends. Christmas Eve was marked by a dinner with the family and friends and gift exchange. This was my parents' first Christmas with us, so they went a little overboard with gifts for Little Jules (we even decided to keep some of the gifts for later). On Christmas day we headed out to the beach. It was a perfect beach weather - warm, sunny with no strong breeze. We strolled along the boardwalk, dipped our toes in the water and played in the send. Here are a few pics from the holidays.
