Memorial Day...

We've had a great weekend! Went to a mojito fest yesterday at a Filipina friends house and had various meats on a stick, egg rolls, salads --I brought a fresh corn pudding which was awesome (recipe in this month's Sunset magazine) if I do say so myself. I had a "no-hito" which is a mojito without rum-surprisingly good! They also had home made root beer (5 lbs of brown sugar in 5 gallons!!!) and home made chocolate beer which I accidently took a sip of thinking it was root beer--yummy!

We had dinner with the neighbors Z and L. They have a 20 month old little girl and a boy due 5 weeks after me. We had tri tip and a great time over there.

Today is the six year anniversary of my Dad's death. He died on Memorial Day which was fitting since he fought in World War II and is interred at Arlington National Cemetery. My mom and sisters visited yesterday. I'm a little sad today that he won't know his new grand daughter...

Update...

Not much new to report. Becoming less comfortable by the day...only 3 1/2 weeks to go. Just had a friend from DC in town which was fun. She was playing in a water polo tournament here. Another friend from the "inland empire" also came to the tourney and it was great to hang out with them.

We are still trying to do some last minute stuff, replace our entry doors, get some concrete estimates for our patio, finish getting the baby stuff, pack for the hospital, go see Spiderman III and enjoy our last Memorial Day as non-parents....

It's a BOY!

No not for me, for my sister C. Her little boy, Will arrived today, 10 days early at 8 lbs 1 oz and 21 inches! We are so excited for them! Sister J was visiting from CA and calling with updates throughout the morning. Hoping to post pics soon...
