38 is great!

I had my birthday almost one week ago and its been good so far. I got a new camera and finally have some pictures. It was a weekend of water polo for Colton--a 3-day tournament at the high school. He's finally getting the hang of it and impressed the upperclassmen with one of his goals, though I didn't get to see any of them. The game the whole family made it too was uneventful, polo-wise, though Caleb did fall down the bleachers and dent the back of head in--no stitches required!

Chris had to take Caleb to the next day's games as I was trying to run a program practice for our primary children. No blood that day and a lot of the girls took interest in him and set him up with his own office (box) and he was able to text message all his friends (good grief!). And check his boots out--he has to wear them or his rubber ones everywhere.

He arrived a little tired, but lots of candy fixed that!

And Olivia has joined the ranks of toothless elementary school kids finally. She's been wriggling and wriggling and within a couple of days both the bottom front ones succumbed. Now she lisps and whistles while talking and reading. Big teeth are coming, so I'd better get the cute pictures while I can!

So maybe I've changed a little getting older. I dropped Chris off Monday for an 11-day trip to Taiwan and Korea and after checking my email, I booked myself a trip to California for the weekend for my 20-year class reunion. Wahoo! This is like the most spontaneous thing I've ever done! Yeah, its pathetic. I'll abandon my kids, trust my niece can manage them along with her 5 week old. No time to shop for new clothes, got one last work-out in and I have to get my hair done, but it'll be great to be single and care-free for 3 days.
