Finally a Vacation 

These last few days have been filled with laundry and packing and getting ready for our trip south to San Diego.  Sharmi has been asking to go to Sea World to see all of the animals for months.  She has been talking about the shows and describing them in great detail.  One of the shows has a mime in it and and she talks about “the man with the painted face, everyone claps,” and the “tiny sea lion” (also known as and otter.)  The last few days before her naps she would say, “I’ll nap in the car.  Let’s go the the zoo-park.” And when she got up from her naps she was ready to put her shoes on and go see the animals. 

Sharmi has been feeling much better these last few days as well.  She has been playing independently again which has been very helpful with all of the packing.  Melissa was also a life saver and she came and played with the kids while I did laundry and some packing.  It has been wonderful having them here. 

I am looking forward to putting Chantel in some dresses in San Diego.    She is growing like a weed.  She is 3 months old now and she is already wearing 6-9 month cloths.  She is such a joy.  We are enjoying her very much.  She is a night owl and stays up until 1:00 or later on a regular basis, so we get some alone time together since Sharmi monopolizes all of my time during the day.  We have to find the blessings in all things.

God Bless You All,
