We started a new tradition for the December birthdays in our family. When they turn 4 they have a normal birthday except that they don't get a present from Mom and Dad. So yesterday was Hayden's half birthday and he got to go and pick out a "big boy bike." He was a little fickle about wanting to go but once he realized what a bike like that was he was very excited and loved the one he picked out, it's even green his favorite color! He's pretty good at riding it and looks like a real big kid!

Things here are going well here, we had a nice weekend. Tom had duty Friday night but we were able to go to the park yesterday and then in the evening we had some friends from Cleveland come over. He is in the Navy and stationed up at Camp Pendelton. They had some errands to run in San Diego so they came for dinner and to let the kids play. It was nice to have someone over and to talk to someone who really understands what we are going through! It's too bad they are an hour away.

Church was good today, Hayden and Danica went to their classes and we got to go to ours. I enjoyed a chance to talk to a few more people and got some phone numbers to hopefully meet up at the park or the pool this week. We are thinking about getting a pass to the Zoo and the Wild Animal Park, it's fairly affordable and they have evening hours during the summer so we could meet Tom down at the zoo when he gets off work. My only reservation is how well I would do going with all three kids in the near future...

I finally made it in to the OB clinic down at the hospital. After so much run around on the phone and such the solution was that I was supposed to just come in and do the paperwork and then they would try to find me an appointment. So I utilized the little day care they have at the hospital and the kids both seemed to really enjoy it. Apparently they are pretty booked up and it took her like 5 minutes to go through the computer to find me an appointment that isn't until July 11th. I'll be 34 weeks by then, it's getting way too close! I hope we are ready, especially Danica! Hayden is very excited, the other day Danica was following him around the house and I said "Your sister sure does love you!" He responded with "I love my little sister, I love both of my little sisters!!" Here's another funny thing he said, yesterday while I was walking by him while he was riding his bike he turned to me out of the blue and said "So mom, how was your doctor's check up yesterday?" He can be so thoughtful at times! He just cracks me up!

Well I could write a million more funny stories but I"m going to go watch The Prestige with Tom, a great movie we highly recommend. Talk to you later!
