Announcing.....

No, no baby yet. We are working on baby announcements A LOT. Something that we didn't do with Joshua. Well, we have our excuses but the main one was.... we were stressed out. There was a lot going on during that time in our lives. Hopefully our son won't hold it against us all his life. Now that we have a little more time and resources we are doing some things with the second one that we weren't able to do with the first. Namely baby announcements. Mike is here in California now which has been nice. Despite him not working... we've had no problem finding things to do.

Joshua will be starting kindergarten next week with the threat that in 3 weeks he will be relocated to another school. Yes, like many public schools throughout the region, his school is facing overcrowding. What California has done is set up a bussing system to another school close by for children who have been "cut off". I'm hoping that it doesn't happen seeing as his first year of school might be filled with going to 3 schools but unfortunately, it's out of my hands.

Joshua had his Buzz Lightyear birthday party last week and we were fortunate enough to have a lot of friends join us, including some special ones from Japan. Well, now they are in Monterey. He is so into Buzz Lightyear right now and unfortunately it's a hard toy to come by. I had to order his party supplies on line. As Mike has told me... Disney owns us! We are suckers when it comes to Buzz Lightyear. We were fortunate enough to find a Buzz Lightyear Halloween costume at the Disney store for Joshua this year - complete with a flashing light button.

For a gift, Mike sent me this very very cute pajama set for the hospital. It includes a matching gown for the baby. Which reminds me, I've got to fill up that "going to the hospital" bag! I'd have to say with this one, we are planning much better. The same weekend that Joshua was born, we were planning on buying the nursery furniture and the weekend prior, I think I had just returned from my baby shower. Our family is pretty notorious for having early babies. My cousin's water broke at her baby shower. I'm hoping that I can keep this one in longer!
