Someday I will see my feet properly again
Life has been busy since I last wrote. To begin with, we threw a going away backyard bbq for some friends that are going to Switzerland for one year. We had about 50 people show up. I was 34 weeks pregnant. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos because somehow they got erased off my camera. Either way, I think everyone had a good time. We will miss you guys, Matt, Marzia and Abigail
The following week, our friends Laura, Jen and Darlene gave us a co-ed baby shower. We got lots of great gifts and good times were had by all. We may have even made a love connection between Samuel and Abby. Abby is an older woman so she was a bit more aggressive than Samuel was used to. He must be bragging at the park now!
The following weekend (pregnancy week 36) we drove down to Southern California for Jimmie's friends Mads and Janna's wedding. When arriving in LA at about 11:30 pm on a Friday night, Mick remembered why he hated Southern California....the TRAFFIC. we were stuck in traffic forever! Mick got a bit a road rage. We finally arrived in Orange close to 1:00 am where we were staying with our good friends Frank, Cris, Mike and Meg. Next morning, we got up early and drove down to San Diego (traffic AGAIN) to see Mick's college buddy, Terry and his wife Anita. They just had a baby girl (Ani) 2 weeks prior. Ani behaved beautifully during our short 2 hour visit. We hope to have one that well behaved!
We then drove back North to San Clemente to attend the wedding. The actual cerermony was at a small park in a residential neighborhood overlooking the ocean. It was beautiful. Janna's brother performed the ceremony so it was quite personal and moving. Everyone teared up (except for mick who is dead inside). Friends Laura and Jeff also came down from Northern California for the wedding. We tried taking a picture of us together. Everyone looks crappy except jeff, who is Mr GQ in every photo we have.
This is unfortunately the only photo we have of the happy couple...I really need to learn to take better pictures. The reception was in San Juan Capistrano at Janna's uncle's house. It was beautiful as well. The reception had all sorts of weird Danish traditions. Mads socks got cut off, Janna got kissed by all teh men at the wedding, songs were sung, and lots of toasts were made. When we left the wedding, mick said "I don't know Mads and Janna very well but this wedding makes me want to know them better". I think that is quite a testament to how lovely the wedding really was.
Beyond that, Life has just been chugging along. I am a bit over 37 weeks pregnant. baby hasn't dropped. She seems quite content to remain inside. i am ok with that because it is easier to take care of them when they are inside! Today we are headed to Livermore to spend the Fourth of July with the Acevedos. We will see baby Daniela there. She is about 3 months old now. We haven't seen her since she was 2 weeks old.
Have a Happy Fourth of July
