Look! Isn't that rich? I AM bare-foot and pregnant... in the kitchen... making mac'n'cheese.

It has been a while since I have posted-there are just so many things going on! All is well though. We have the nursery furniture ordered with thanks to Mom and Dad Sandvik for providing a beautiful crib for our little boy and Mom and Dad Bush for providing a nice chest of drawers for those baby clothes! YEAH! All we need is the baby!!

Welcome Jack!

Baby Learns About Marine Life


Half Moon Bay was beautiful! Judith and I had a nice drive along ridges and canyons to get there. On our trip we saw two black tail deer, a sharp shinned hawk, an unfortuante raccoon, red wing black birds, snow, a flock of dinos, a white balloon with a lisp, pony rides, snails, hermit crabs in snails' clothing, and SEALS!!!!!! Seals with eyes like dinner plates staring back at us... surely wondering when we would get off their rock. Baby Sandvik no doubt experienced some turbulence as I jumped up and down waving to the seals to please come in and have a chat with us... no avail. Baby Sandvik and I also enjoyed a Dungenous Crab Sandwich and Barabara's... Mmmmm... we both approve!

Greetings from Mountain View, California!

Morning two, here with Judith and Christine and the three Grey Boys (kitties: Grey Beard, Grey Brother and the impetuous Romeow), has dawned! I am enjoying my time here visiting and seeing their home. Yesterday, Baby Sandvik and I learned all about the history of computers at the Computer History Museum. It was fascinating! My favorite peices of new knowledge surround the 1890 census which really got the computer building industry growing and the Kitchen Recipe Computer featured in the Neiman Marcus catalogue (number sold... 0). It had the delightful tag, "If only she can cook as well as Honeywell can compute..." Thannnnks. It took about a week's worth of programming training to work it and at that time you could hire a "domestic" to cook for you for the price of the Kitchen Compute. We had a wonderful dinner out at Shiva's, which kicked off a hiccuping spell for the wee one. Evidently, he has inherited his father's love of spicy food and the resulting hiccups! :) Today we are off to Half Moon Bay to walk the shore and, me thinks, test out some local food! Mmmmmm!!
