I Love SF

Jason and I went to San Fran this past weekend to celebrate our 5th anniversary and our tenth year of being together. Time flies when you are having the time of your life!
Carson stayed with Nana Baba and Papa Dave while we were gone.
He was a good boy....no spankings were handed out! (As if they ever would...)
Carson is growing by leaps and bounds. He eats like a savage beast...A sample breakfast would be two scrambled eggs, yogurt, and several pieces of fruit.
His walking is extremely good now and he is able to walk all over our house without falling down. It's really amazing how quickly he's become an expert walker. His new word of the week is "Hot" and he says it whenever he sees a cup of coffee or a spoon (can't figure that one out). He has been saying "Bweeeeeee" all day and I can't figure out what it means for the life of me. He keeps us guessing, this Stinky Fish!


Some baby golf clubs found their way home with us from San Francisco. Carson enjoyed his first golf lesson with Dad. He prefers to eat the clubs and carry them while he walks, but it's a start.



Carson gives everything a careful inspection.
He's pretty studious when he is interested in something.

Here are some pics from our trip....We had such an amazing time.
Below...Stanford University Chapel.

The Stanford Quad....Looks just like Iowa City, right?


Palo Alto is Iowa City with palm trees and LOTS AND LOTS of money. I felt smarter by osmosis just walking around there. I'm so glad we checked out the campus...We will know where we are going when Carson or baby girl decide to go there one day. :)



The view from our hotel room...SF's Union Square



Ghiradelli Square where we had a fabulous sea salt carmel hot cocoa.



Napa Wine Country


Robert Mondavi Winery


Jason tasting wine at Cakebread Cellars....I had exquisite vintage apple juice with notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and plum. Actually it was just regular apple juice, but it tasted better just because we were there.


On our tour...you can see the ice on the huge vats of wine behind us.



Everything seems to be fine with little miss baby girl so far....I have a doctor's appointment next Tuesday and it's an ultrasound so that will be fun. We can check to make sure she is still a girl! I am 17 weeks now and I feel awesome. I am craving sour cream and cheddar baked potato chips and have eaten mass quantities of cinnamon raisin bagels with cream cheese. Otherwise, I am hoping that everything continues to go as well as it has thus far.
We haven't made any progress on names....We have a list of about ten that we like but no clear front runners.
