'CURRaNT' SNACKS: YUM

Greetings from Southern California! The past few weeks have been a settling experience with organization of ‘stuff,’ preparation for baby (or “nesting”) and Brian’s first earthquake… but the earthquake was only settling, not damaging to belongings or body-parts.

One week ago, Sarah had the opportunity to travel up to Oregon and her family organized a wonderful baby shower, where Sarah was able to visit family and friends that she had not been able to visit for a long time. She also returned home with cute baby clothes, blankets, wash-clothes and other baby items and both Brian and Sarah are extremely appreciative of all the gifts and gestures of love. Thank you to all!

Brian will defend his thesis on May 24th and commencement will be on the 28th. So things around here are more than cranky… as Brian spends his time finishing up classes, finalizing his thesis, and attempting to find a job, while Sarah remains working full-time, nesting, managing her disproportionate weight gain, and remains ever-mindful of the growing baby and his kicks (not to worry he will not be a soccer player but perhaps wonderful punter for the Oregon State Beavers!! O… S… U… Oregon State Fight, Fight, Fight!!!).

We are currently having a blog-survey: What’s the Baby boy’s name? Leave your thoughts on the comment log (all you have to do is sign-up).
