WHEW!

OK, I finally get to catch a breath. Ok, not really. But I’m stealing this time to catch you all up anyway.

Every site about blogging you’ll find will tell you not to write a ‘sorry I haven’t blogged in so long’ post, so I’m not apologizing.

I’m just explaining.

So the past couple of weeks have held a move to a new house, a birthday, and an upcoming birth. That’s a lot to squeeze in to two weeks!

My new house, if I do say so myself, is awesome! 2 car garage with garage door openers (Something I’ve never had), 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, hardwood floors, gas fireplace, steel appliances… Well, it’s a heck of a lot better than the 2 bedroom apartment I had been squeezing my family into…

So we moved Thursday and Friday, then took a road trip to Denver on Saturday for Calli’s birthday. We had a BLAST!

We started the day at Amazing Jake’s, which is essentially Chuck E Cheese on steroids. This place had a mini-coaster, bumper cars, go-karts, an arcade, lazer tag, and much better food than room temperature pizza! There were several rooms for eating, and each one had a theme. We chose the Movie Mania room, and Calli loved watching Hercules on a big screen while she ate her pizza and chocolate chip cookies!

Calli's favorite ride at Amazing Jake's. She told the ride operator, "Go Higher!!"

Daddy and Calli eagerly await the go-karts

We then went to Zoomily at the Denver Zoo, which was super-cool. We got to ride the carousel for free, see fairy tale characters teach us about animals, and enjoy free food and desserts throughout the zoo.

Snow White stops for a picture. Calli just wants to hold that owl!

The carousel was so much fun, Calli wanted to pull Daddy's face off! Sometimes I don't get that kid.

The next day, we had a birthday party for Calli, where she got extremely spoiled with presents and balloons and the lion cake that she had been begging her Sissy for for weeks.

Kat's talents strike again! This lion cake, complete with home-toasted coconut mane, was conceived and decorated by her! (And it tasted pretty darn good, too!)

We had our final prenatal doctor visit on Tuesday, in which we found out that my wife is going in at 7am to be induced. I sure hope they have Wi-Fi, because I am so blogging this!

So that’s the past couple weeks in a nutshell. I’m not apologizing for my absence, just explaining!
