That’s right. I’m old. As Jared keeps, ever so kindly, reminding me I am now closer to forty than twenty. Yuck. On the brighter side….I don’t feel my age and look much younger than I am…so eat it 31! There has been a lot going on with us the past couple of weeks. First, we moved out of our apartment on a Sunday so our sub-letters could move in. We became temporarily homeless for a few days and stayed in an empty apartment of friends whose lease wasn’t up yet. Moved into our new two bedroom apartment on a Wednesday. And finally, loaded the car and headed for Lawton the following Thursday. My birthday fell on one of our homeless days, so it was a lot of fun! We ate at the Original Pancake House for breakfast, went to Knott’s Berry Farm, had dinner at Bucca Di Beppo, and saw a movie. Phew, busy day. We had a lot of fun. Thanks Jared and Elliot; it was wonderful!







Elliot and his energy
Elliot is a true boy. He is crazy full of energy and seems to find that the best way to expel it is to run around screaming. No joke. He is always trying to test our boundaries. His new favorite word is “no”. Not in his cute sweet little baby voice, but a nasty naughty one with furrowed brows. In the morning he is scolding someone in his crib because “No” is what he continually says, it’s too funny! Elliot has been very lovey lately giving hugs and getting upset when either Jared or I leave the house. He is still a book, car, and ball guy, but has fallen in love with Mickey Mouse “mi mou”. Elliot is working on 4 new teeth, his top canines have made an appearance.





L.A. Fashion District
I went to the fashion district not long before we left with some girlfriends. We wandered the streets snatching up one amazing deal after another ($1-2/yrd fabric).





Beach Bonfire
One of the many things I still had on my California to do list was checked off…beach bon fire! We went with Angie and Neal, Alexa and Cris, and were suppose to be joined by a few others who couldn’t make it. Hot dogs were roasted and smores consumed. It was a fun evening.
