Happy Birthday to....Josh!

Several family birthdays came and went this past week, without much notice from our little one inside! Josh's dad and my grandmother celebrated on the 12th and Josh turned 28 on the 14th. We also have several other relatives birthdays coming in the next few weeks...but we're still waiting to see if our little girl will join the July or August birthday team! My mom would probably love a birthday buddy on August 1st, but my grandmother is really holding out for one of her "descendants" to be born in the month of July!

In my personal opinion...the sooner the better!! I'm getting tired of having "labor nightmares" every night! (They're just as bizarre as the ones I used to get every year during the last week of summer when my brain was trying to get ready to go back to teaching.) Plus, the actual fact is that we're quite ready to meet this little person!!

We did have a fun time celebrating Josh's birthday on Saturday. Enjoyed sleeping in and then had a birthday breakfast of smoothies and monkey bread, followed by present and card opening. (Thanks to everyone who sent cards or packages and called!!) Then we did some things around the house for the afternoon and had friends over for cake and games in the evening.

In other news...our "big" typhoon turned out to be a whole lot of nothing! I think our area here is similar to the mid-Atlantic area of the East Coast. We tend to track really big storms that come up from the south, but they usually weaken and/or go out to sea before they actually reach us. That being said, we were in the "category one" warning zone yesterday and everything on base shut down for the day...but we ended up only getting some tiny showers and had blue sky by the afternoon - weird!
