SD Zoo

I convinced Cliff to take us down to San Diego for a few days. I wanted to make sure we got our money's worth on our annual passes from last spring break. We got a good deal at the Paradise Resort--but I wouldn't stay there again. We got more bang for our buck at the Hyatt last year. I would love some recommendations on good eats for the next time we go down there. Anyone?...The concierge has been hit or miss both trips, but mostly miss :/

We went to the zoo two days in a row. Wesley was so cute at the zoo. He got so excited every time he spotted an animal. Anjali was more interested in snacks. Lacy was interested, but became more excited when our friends joined us on day two.

As always seems to be the case for us, we had some graphic demonstrations performed by a little monkey and a couple of hippos. It was fun trying to explain what was happening to the kids. The orangutans were a big hit--the kids got some good face time with one of them too.

Oh how I love San Diego. Such a fun quick easy vacation with the kiddos.

Making a House a Home

Cliff had the week off and decided that what he'd like most to do is paint the master bed and bath. (seriously--I wanted to go on vacation. he wanted to stay home and paint.)

I couldn't really help, you know--in my delicate condition so we hired some cheap labor.

Soon we'll be 6.

Baby #4 is due July 23. Sex is still unknown. I hope it's a boy!

Fast Forward to 2010

I know I'm way behind. But rather than being weighed down by how much catch up I have to do, I'm just going to cut my losses and move forward for now. I will work on the lost 5 months at my own pace....but here's the short version:

We went to the OC Fair, finished the summer with trips to the beach and soccer games. We put an offer in on a house--it was accepted. Anj started preschool. Lacy started pre-K. Cliff, Leah and Lacy ran the Disney 5k. We moved into our new house. Anj got a root canal. Anj turned 3. Halloween. Thanksgiving. Lacy turned 5. Leah's birthday. Christmas. Our wedding anniversary. New Years.

I hope this can somewhat justify why I've been unable to update ;)
