Hi! We are David & Dianne, aged 41, from Venice, CA. Sophie will be our first child. David and I are writers and artists, and Dave does his own comic book. We have 2 cats and a dog, and we love to travel, although we cannot afford to often. I garden. We love animals and animal rights causes. We love meeting foreigners and getting to know them. We're not religious. We like the beach, board games, foreign food, hanging out at home together, making up our own funny songs, and being silly

5. Nursery/theme Well, the room is blushed cotton, like a very pale sandy pink, and the furniture is a shabby chic sort of burgandy. We have some art that we bought from the Our Chinese Daughters Foundation, and we have some pages from a really old ABC book that we framed. We like the retro 40s-50s look, as long as it's not little cherub babies with blond hair, as Sophie will not look like that. We like the shabby comfy look and vinatge things. Our crib was the crib of all my cousins and my brother and sister and I.
