As of 1:13 am this morning my baby is THREE YEARS OLD!!! We had a big ole birthday open house yesterday (Sunday), today Gramma is watching him here at home so he can play with all his new toys, tomorrow at daycare they’ll have a little cupcake party for him and this coming Sunday will be the party I invite all the children he knows over for a couple hours. Kind of a big birthday week! Here’s the look he’s sporting today:
Well, time to write a bit about our recent trip to California. The impetus for the trip was the Rock Star’s cousin S’s wedding to the beautiful M. The wedding was planned for the day before Labor Day, but we went out 10 days early so we could visit the Rock Star’s father and step-mother. After the parental visit, we planned a few days in San Francisco with his brother (including one night of extreme debauchery for the bachelor party). Then we drove north the Anderson Valley area of California for the wedding. This first vacation blog entry will be about the parental visit and the drive to SF. Parts of it are not a pretty tale, so I’ll try to go over them quickly…and get to the parts where I molest, fondle and buy yarn.
