San Diego

We got to San Diego late on the 25th of May and stayed with friends (THANK YOU Clark Family!!). We went to Sea World on the 26th. We forgot our sunscreen and all got a nice little burn. It had been 9 years since I had been to Sea World and longer than that for John. Sadly, we were a little disappointed. Miss Fabulous still loved everything but she didn't know what she was missing. We were able to see the sea lion show, but the best part of that show is the guy that comes out before any of the animals. We were also able to see the orca show.
We had great seats near the little platform in the front.
So we had a nice up-close view of the show. The show was very short but we loved being able to see the orcas.
They didn't have a dolphin show at the time and the Cirque show wasn't running either. We found there were more rides and lines than we remembered and a lot less sea life.
One thing I did like was the baby play area. I was able to send John, Tina, and Miss Fabulous off to see the pet show (dogs, cats, pigs, etc.) and let little Star out of the stroller to play.
Miss Fab wanted her picture taken by the Shamu Beetle. MF has been really into VW Beetles lately. I think its cute that she has a favorite car.
Over all, we enjoyed spending time with the Clarks...no matter that it was such a short time. Sea World seems to have changed from a place to see different sea life and shows to a really expensive, odd assortment of rides and characters.
The morning after Sea World we dropped Tina off at the airport and headed off to Arizona to see John's family and lots of friends!

The List

This is an incomplete list of the things I'm trying to do before December 15. I know I'm missing a few things but you get the idea. I wish I had more time, but at the same time, I know I would just waste it and end up doing everything at the last minute anyway. So here's at least a partial list of things I need to do or make: 1. matching pajama pants for my girls and their cousins. 2. 4 more bags and 2 more purses. 3. smallish blankets and pillows for my girls' baby dolls and/or stuffed animals. 4. turn 2 sweaters into Christmas dresses for my girls 5. Christmas shop for John 6. gifts/goodies for neighbors and friends 7. decorate for Christmas 8. 2 tutus 9. Christmas cards? or wait until after the baby is born and send an update with an announcement? 10. finish getting the girls' room in order and looking cute 11. organize the basement and purge the STUFF #10 doesn't necessarily have to be done before the 15 th but I'd like to just get it DONE already. ...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...

In case you're like my mom, who can "never see anything in these pictures", it is baby #2 due at the beginning of August. Hopefully we get to keep this one...all signs say yes. Please keep us in your prayers!
