27 Weeks

This week was busy for us!!! We have been on Spring Break and staying BUSY!!!

On Saturday, we went to Columbus, TX to visit my mom. We had a great time hiking along the Colorado River and swimming at her hotel swimming pool.

On Sunday, we went the zoo and the boys had a blast in the aquarium area looking for all the critters they have seen on Octonauts.

Monday, we packed and did last minute shopping for our trip to CA. I needed a suitcase--I don't recommend buying one during Spring Break, the day before your trip. 

Tuesday, I had my glucose test and midwife appointment before flying out. I passed my glucose, although I am a little low on iron which explains why I have been craving beans and cereal. Baby sounded great and is still measuring big! 

We flew out Tuesday afternoon to Long Beach, CA. The boys did great on the plane. Clark was a little impatient and told everyone he was tired of being on the plane for "39 days". Lol.

Wednesday, we went to the Aquarium of the Pacific with my grandparents and the boys got to touch sharks. They were so excited!!! They also loved the leafy sea dragons and otters.

Thursday, I went to my aunts classroom for a few hours and got to see how she does her reading block. Our classes are penpals and it was fun meeting some of the kids my students have been writing to! I also met my friend, Lauren, for lunch. We had a delicious lunch at Open Sesame (one of my favorites!) and took the kids to the beach.

Lauren and I, due a month apart!

Friday, we took the train to San Diego. It was the first real train ride for the kids and Kannon was in awe. It was a gorgeous ride--you could see dolphins from the train! Kannon told the conductor that he wants to be a steam engineer when he grows up so he can drive the Polar Express. Swoon. 

Isn't that view from the train window lovely?

Saturday, I headed to my friend's baby shower. Lauren is due with a girl in July. This is the first time I have had a friend pregnant and it has been wonderful to be pregnant at the same time! We spend a lot of time on the phone :) 

 

Sunday, we had breakfast at the Yacht Club with my grandparents, aunt, cousin, my brother and his friends. It was so great spending the week with family!!! Although, I didn't get nearly enough sleep and I caught a nasty cold :( 

 

We finally got home Sunday night at 1am and had fours of sleep before going back to work Monday! We are all exhausted!!! Hopefully, I will upload more photos from our trip soon!

I finally got a hair cut!  It feels so much better!!
