Back in Cali... and I passed my test!

Good news! I passed my glucose screening! 3 hours and 4 viles of blood later... everything came back normal! We are so thankful!

We made it back to California last night after 22 hours of traveling. We had started our day at 2am east coast time to catch a early flight to DC. Then what was supposed to be our early flight from DC to San Fran had issues that had us sitting on the plane waiting to leave the gate for 2 1/2 hours. Then they deboarded us and a couple hours later deemed our plane unworthy to fly. We spent about 9 hours in the DC airport... trying to get back to the West Coast... along with a couple hundred other people. They managed to get us 3 to LAX by 7:30 west coast time. My parents picked us up and we drove the rest of the way! Poor Emily only slept for about 3 of those 24 hours! We unexpectedly got some practice for our big travels next week! Our bags showed up this morning... they got an extra stop in San Fran and we had to spend the night apart. :)

I'll try to post some pics or videos soon , but just wanted to update quickly until I have time to do that!

fun pic we found from summer of '05

We found this pic from 4 years ago of Bridger as a puppy! Now this is his new family! Everyone looks so much older now... except for Leslie - she looks just as young!

Trip to Washington DC

This week we all got to go to Washington DC! We enjoyed the day out, and it was Scott and Emily's first time to go there. Here are those 2 at the original Smithsonian building.
The Air and Space Museum was interesting for all of us!
We strolled around the mall with some friends and their 2 year old too.
The cherry blossoms were out even though the sun wasn't. And beautiful purple flowers were everywhere.
Emily was happy even though it rained and blew gusty winds.
This picture snuck in twice... ooops.

In other news, I failed my first glucose screening and have to go back for the 3 hour test on Monday. I am bummed about not passing, and really really hope I pass this next one. Some of our plans about where we'd have the baby might need to change if it doesn't go just right! We'll let you know how it turns out when we hear back!

Happy St Patty's Day

Well, today we are having a good day... this is the first day (out of the last 13) that we are not dealing with fever, diarrhea, or vomiting issues with Emily! It is nice to think we might be in the clear now! Just had a lunch of corned beef and boiled potatoes. :) I have no pictures to post from the last few weeks... they wouldn't be pretty! But more to come soon hopefully... of a healthy family!!

Fun in the snow

March has brought us a lot of snow. Emily likes to take a stroll out to take it all in.

She also likes her new pull-up bar which is an all around workout machine you can do different things with. She finds even more creative ways to use it than the creator intended, and loves to exercise with Daddy.
