September

We went to the beach with most of the Carmean family. It was pretty cold and foggy, but the kids had a great time. Afterwards we went to McDonalds for lunch.
One happy beach bum.

He loves the beach.

He put on the tye-dye shirt all by himself.

For my birthday Chris took me out to my favorite local Italian restaurant, mostly so that I could get this flourless Chocolate cake with espresso sauce that I LOVE!

This is me the night of my birthday - I was 21 weeks pregnant that day.

We've started moving furniture around in anticipation of Baby Timothy's arrival (we've finally decided on a name!). Chris decided to turn the garage into a "man cave." So a recliner and an end table went out there. A wicker chair moved from the living room to David's room and the rocking chair moved into the office, which will also be the nursery. Out of the office came two bookcases to sit next to a third already in the living room. Above is a picture midmove which all of our books on the floor or in one bookcase.

Here's the end result - We have a lot of books! (And this doesn't include a bookcase in David's room and one in the "man cave" with all of Chris' Star Wars books!)

We also got bikes for Chris and I and a bike trailer for the kids to ride in and get pulled by one of the bikes. Also, on Wednesday midday a fire started on base that burned about 500 acres. That day was a little stressful as the fire seemed pretty close to start off with, but as the day went on the fire moved farther away. Honestly, the most stressful part turned out to be the power going on and off till early Thursday morning. They used planes and heliocopters to fight the fire and David loved watching them go over the house.
