A Spectrum

Last Friday we went to the doctor and heard the heartbeat, which was amazing. They said not to get our hopes up at 11 weeks but somehow the doctor found it. I also found this awesome shirt at Think Geek. What do you think? Too bizarre or fits with the insane person you know me to be? Also, this is totally my little boy's costume for Halloween next year (if it's a boy, don't think I could get away with it if it's a girl).

18. PG, the crazy offspring of these two, May 2008



Val called the baby PG after I told her I was pregnant by saying that I had a parasitic growth in my abdomen. So I am due May 12th. I've thrown up twice, but otherwise seem ok.

I know Madalyn is sideways and Trevor is rather small but it's late and I want to sleep. Also, I am sorry if I got any of the dates wrong. But sometimes I guessed, geesh there's 17 of you... Give a girl a break.

So my trip out to the state of Washington was crazy fun. Number one, I got to see my friend. Number two, I got to see neat places. Number three, I got to travel on an airplane. We went to the Naval Base, a Fort/Lighthouse, Coupville Wharf, a Cider Press, Deception Pass. I saw Seattle at night and during the day. The skyline is awesome at night. Plus Mountains, and cliffs and trees and even a couple seals. In addition, I introduced my friends to the Vicar of Dibley which they loved as everyone should. Enjoy my numerous pictures below. My camera takes lots of blurry pics so I tried not to include too many of those but sometimes it's inevitable.

Some Admiral's lighthouse, I don't remember...



Cool picture of the crazy stairs up into the top of the lighthouse.



View from the back of the lighthouse.



Ferry Boat!!!



Sign I thought was hilarious.

The only picture I got of the whole family...Ha. By the way, the baby in the seat is fake. Poor Val was reprimanded twice by complete strangers over her treatment of fake Big Baby.



Coupeville Wharf



I was really taking a picture of the boat, but caught a Seal instead (that black thing coming out of the water).



Just a neat picture.



Val and myself in front of Knead and Feed where Practical Magic was filmed.

Blurry Abbie, Abbie, Abbie..



The Cider Press

Carolyn and Kelly the Lab...Awww



Deception Pass
Every picture from here turned out blurry but I liked this one anyway.

Everything I have ever read in the Firefly/Serenity Universe has always said that this would NEVER happen. Well, imagine my glee when I read
THIS
today. I hope and pray that it will turn out to be true.

So tonight Tom and I are painting and half watching the second episode of Chuck before we devote our full attention to tonight's episode of Heroes. I watched the first episode last week, Tom refused. It's a likable enough show, fairly funny, has some good action. My main draw is that Adam Baldwin is in it, but anyway I hope it can keep my interest. So Chuck had all these government secrets imprinted in his brain and odd things trigger these secret "memories." Well at one point during tonight's episode, he is rambling off a bunch of things from inside his head when at one point he says,

"Oceanic Flight 815 was shot down by..."

I look at Tom and am like, "Did he just say something about Oceanic Flight 815?" Tom tilts his head and says, "I think he did." Yea to the writers to reference another show especially one that's on another network. Lost is everywhere I tell ya.
