Found Our New Home...

for the next 6 months at least. It is located at The Shores in the marina bay area in richmond. I know it's in Richmond which is a really scary place, but by the marina it is actually quite nice and peaceful. The huge bonus is it's located right by Mike's school so it literally will take him only 5 mins or less to get there. That means he can come home during class breaks or lunch! We hope we only have to be down there for 6 months and then get assigned to Roseville Kaiser for his clinical training so we can move back here. Our move date is March 8th.

Oh and still no baby! We hope he comes soon so I can get some recovery time in before the move.

37 Weeks

I am now 37 weeks, the picture was taken at 36... Everything is still going great. The Dr. said that I could go at any time now which sounds so wonderful. She said because my first baby was on time that I might go early, like 38 or 39 weeks. However...the lady at Sams Club is sticking by her date. I saw her again and she asked when I was suppose to be due and I said, "oh with in the month"...without skipping a beat she said,"the 20th and its a boy" Seriously! what are the chances of her telling me the same thing. I really hope this time she means the 20th of this month. I get contractions every once in a while and get all happy, but then when they start to get close and strong...they STOP. I am ready to be done-not to mention having recovery time before we move would be nice.

Christmas & Newport

Christmas was wonderful again this year. We spent the early part of the morning at the Kelly's and then went to my parent's for brunch and afternoon fun, and then came back home for some yummy ribs! It is just so much fun watching Ava play with her new toys and see how excited she gets. (For Christmas Eve info check out Kandis's blog...)

Merry Christmas Daddy! (Ava learning to finally give kisses..just melts my heart)

I think someone likes Nixon's presents

Santa came!No mommy No, I don't want to be here!

Oh a present? Okay, I'm happy

Newport
Killing time on lap tops with uncle Joel

My family had our annual Newport trip over New Years. Wow was the weather perfect! I packed for winter and only brought one spring outfit...I wore it the whole time. It was so much fun...a lot of relaxing, eating, and walking. Mike got to go surfing, which according to him was tiring and the McDonald's breakfast didn't help much. He was in the ocean for about 10 min. I really wanted to go to Goofy's Kitchen in Down Town Disney, but ended up settling for just roaming DTD because breakfast with the characters was $30.00 A PEARSON. No thank you! One of my favorite things we did was go to the beach as a fam. Ava had no fear of the water. She just kept running right back in. She stayed dry up until the last few minutes, but she still had a big smile on her face when she stood back up after tripping in the ocean.

First time on a carousel...She was not happy

3 trips around, she loved it!

"Fish, Fish, OOOH'stad! Fish" Ava loves her fishes
