I will post more soon! But for now, I feel very proud to have accomplished this much for today!

Four Plus One

Last night Ev and I headed out for our last night alone...for a while. Not that we were really alone. We were celebrating the Marine Corps' 235th birthday with a few hundred other people. Always a good time, last night's ball was also. And it was interesting to watch people actually stare at me with open mouths. Apparently, they thought it was strange to see a 9-month pregnant woman in a cocktail dress. What?

Today is another birthday! This is our last family picture with only four people in it. By this afternoon it will be five. Wow! FIVE! We're so excited and can't wait to share the news with you all as soon as we have some. We appreciate all your thoughts and prayers for us today!

7 Years Ago

Seven years ago, we were blessed by the arrival of our little Trevor. Sweet and cheerful from the beginning, he has been a constant source of joy in our lives. We wanted to make sure we had a great party, so the day after WTI ended we did just that.



Before Dad left for work, he opened his presents. And tried them all out to make sure that they were okay. Later, after Dad got back home, they played around with the new circuit board. (That's ALL Dad)



Trevor got to pick his special birthday meal and birthday cake. After a short negotiation period, he settled on a tide-pool cake, to remind him of our fun vacation time in Oregon. The lighthouse was a bonus and a complete surprise to Trevor. Let me tell you, it's not easy to surprise kids when they're home all day! Trevor had watched the rest of the work on the cake with keen interest, to make sure it was being done properly. I think he was satisfied!



Happy Birthday, Trevor! We love you!
