Cole and Ilia Massie

Hello, Humans!!

Ilia here.   I have no idea what it is about this time of year that makes people run around like crazy chickens, but as usual my pack is SWAMPED!  So, once again I’ve taken it upon myself to get our holiday video put together.    (You can click on the picture if you want to make it full screen.)  Please enjoy!!!

Loads of love,

Ilia Ignatius Beauregarde Massie

Well, I must say we’ve been a bit lax about keeping this site updated but it’s because we’ve been SO BUSY!!!

So what’s been going on since summer??  PLENTY!!

First, Cole turned 12 and had a fabulous Houdini-themed pool party at our beautiful friend Susan’s house.  The troops were entertained by The World Famous Andrew Goldenhersch, who blew everybody away (adults included) with his incredible illusions.  Be sure to check out the pictures HERE!

And, a mere three days later, AWESOME NEWS!!!  Our beloved Eddie became a daddy!!  Yes!!  We cannot think of anybody who’ll be a better dad (after three-and-a-half years with Cole you certainly can’t scare him!)  So we are delighted to welcome the spectacularly stunning Rhiana Leilani Torres!  Isn’t she delicious?!

On to Halloween, where Cole and Eddie terrorized the neighborhoods in Pasadena.  We still have too much candy!  Check it out HERE.

We spent a lovely Thanksgiving with our friends Judy and Steve (who are also our neighbors.) 

On December 4, we went to our neighborhood tree lighting, then went with several neighbors to an art gallery and then to nearby noodle house to warm ourselves up.  I tell you, Atwater Village RULES!  We have the most awesome neighbors EVER!

Next up:  HOUSTON!!  On December 20 we are being flown there by our beloved Hargetts for Christmas!  Wow!  Fabulous, no?  We’ll be there until January 3, when we will fly on to New York for Cole to get new braces (having to go all the way back to NY to remake them was a little detail the docs forgot to mention to the people who live in CALIFORNIA.)  Anyway, we’ll be with our friends at the Ronald McDonald House until January 8, then we fly back to Houston.  On the 9th, we fly home.

Stay tuned for Ilia’s Christmas Retrospective!!
