Wow! This was easy! If I had known setting up a blog would be so easy, I would have done it a long time ago. While on a trip to Oklahoma for my birthday, my friend Lacy showed me her nephew's blog with baby video's. It was so cute that I told her when I got home I would set one up as a way to keep everyone in Oklahoma and Texas updated on the happenings in our lives. What a great way to share video's of the kid's school plays and pictures of birthday parties. We definitely want to stay more in touch with our families and friends and this is just a great way to do it.
Speaking of birthdays......on Thanksgiving day Erik will be turning 9! We are so excited to be celebrating his birthday on Thanksgiving. Generously, both sets of Grandparents bought him videos of Mr. Wizard's World. The science TV show on Nickelodeon from the 80's and 90's. Erik LOVES science and experiments so this is the perfect gift for him. Chris and I are getting him a video camera (kid friendly), which has been on his list for 2 years. We didn't think he was old enough before now so this is going to be very exciting for him. He loves to make movies with is friends and siblings. I have a feeling there will be a couple of posts with videos of science experiments!
The weather here has been changing on a daily basis from heat waves to cool downs. We are expecting a storm tonight and rain for the next 2 days. California really needs it, but it has been playing heck with our allergies! Chris and I both have been taking, claritin, muscinex, nose sprays and tylenol. UGH! I am read for the weather to stabilize so my nose can as well. It is fun to watch the news here when a storm is impending. Every channel has a "Storm Watch" segment that looks at the radar and they go into great lengths about what can happen with a storm, but it is usually only a half an inch. So funny though!
Off to the grocery store to do the Thanksgiving shopping! I know all of you are doing that as well.
Love to you all,
April
