Vince had a really long day today. He was in school from 8:30 to 11:30 and then from 1:30 to 5, he was next door at Aunt Helen’s house while we were meeting the geneticist at the hospital. It was almost a whole day away from home. I know he’s a resiliant guy, but at dinner his frazzled emotions came to the surface and he was in tears about how we moved some furniture around the house. Jeremy cheered him up by decorating cupcakes for his class tomorrow.

Doris loves Jeremy.

Here are my virtual roses for Jeremy. My husband is the sweetest guy – very considerate and polite, but this weekend in particular, he did extra-special things for me… Listen to this. On Friday, he took the day off and we both took Edda to her therapy class. Then in the afternoon, he took care of the kids while I got to go downtown and hang out and window shop for a few hours (which I never get to do). On Saturday, he took care of the kids at night so I could hang out in a pub downtown with my friend. And today – listen to this – he did therapy with Edda, crafts (making Valentines and painting pictures) and making cupcakes with Vince, the weekly grocery shopping (5 dinners worth), took the kids swimming, and he cooked dinner and did the dishes. I’m a pretty lucky girl.

This is where Kate and I went last night. They’ve turned old church grounds into a restaurant/shopping extravaganza. I’m sure just what the good Lord envisioned when his devoted followers took the time and energy to put the church together brick by brick. A lot of the places were pretty fancy, but we found a nice Irish Pub with good greasy food and beer and we sat and drank Corona’s, rum & coke and gin & tonics and talked a lot and watched people watching soccer on big screen TVs. I got home at 11:30, Edda was still up, she just refuses to go to sleep without nursing. It’s a weird thing.

Friday Night Bicycling Club.

So Friday nights are mountain biking nights to train up for the 24 hour race. We were at Waterdog park for about 2.5 hours. Here’s Jason fooling around, and pogo-ing on his back wheel.

Sunday we’re going down to Monterey to do a race for prep to get us into shape. Also we’re going to pre-ride the 24 hour course since Don has never ridden it yet.

I’m embarrassed to say how much we’ve all spent in lighting equipment…

Moved In

Well, we just moved in to our new apartment. I would like to check out the hotel and move in tomorrow. Mom thought it can save some money by moving in earlier. So you moved in today.

We just bought two new mattresses for sleeping. The rest can be a little bit later. I am thinking buying something from Goodwill, tables, chairs, etc. Mattress needs to be new, the rest does not have to.

I also found out we have un-secured wireless for free. However, we will install high speed cable for webcam and banking stuff.

Mom bought me some roses today – first time ever. Wow 🙂 I must behalf myself real good.

Sock yarn..

I got the sock yarn I ordered from eBay to do my sock pal’s socks. She requested “spring colors” so this is what I chose. I hope she likes it.. Now off to find a pattern.

Bob Costas – Knitting Olympics.

Someone has made this hilarious button for the knitting olympics. Did I ever tell you that we all met Bob Costas? Jeremy, me, Vince, Ben and maybe Emy were all at JFK airport and we were flying to Arizona for our vacation when all of a sudden Bob Costas (who was behind us in line) asked if his lady friend could go ahead of us because she was almost about to miss her flight. At that point, we weren’t sure whether it was Bob or not. But he stayed in line near us as she went to the counter and she yelled back, “Hey Bob, I have a question”. So then we were sure. He spent some time thanking us and also admired Vince’s eyes. This is the 2nd longest conversation I’ve ever had with a celebrity. The longest conversation I’ve ever had with a celebrity would be with Mia Farrow about heating houses in the winter.
