Goings On

I've always liked phrases where the first word is pluralized but the second is not, like passers by, goings on, etc.  just a thought. 

Two weeks gone by and we've had a fair amount of stuff going on; Disney and California Adventure for Shelley's birthday, which was a lot of fun, and even though we did borrow a camera, and I thought I had downloaded the pictures, I can't find them at the moment.  We got some more cloth diapers, Fuzzy-Bunz one size, which are working out quite nicely.  We ordered three and some cloth wipes, and Katie sent us one diaper and cloth wipes, but I thought the company had messed up our order and sent extra, and I took a while for me to figure it out.  So thanks again Katie and Tebben!!  

Yesterday was a lot of fun.  We started off going to the Zoo, and we brought Ella's friend Olivia, whom you might remember from such earlier outings as Vasquez Rocks last year.  They had a great time together, and the animals were almost secondary to the two of them running around like maniacs.  After the zoo it was time for Ella and I to head off for the Kings vs. the Blackhawks  at the Staples Center.  Ella got really jealous when Shelley and I went, and when I went with my Dad, and Uncle Tom, So we decided that just the two of us would go.  She loved it, and wore her Kings shirt that Shelley and I got her when we went.  She was really excited that the Kings won 5-2, but she didn't like when they scored a goal, because everybody would scream, and she would get real quite and hold my arm.  But the rest of the time she was a chatter box, asking questions about everything.  After one long stretch of questions she made me feel great by asking "Papa, how come you know everything about hockey?"  Of course she had to go and ruin this by taunting me at the end of the game because her team won and mine didn't (I had my Blackhawks shirt on).  She told everyone today that her team won and that she "taunted to papa that his team lost"  So except for that it was   an excellent game, and a lot of fun to go to with her.

Desi continues to grow at an alarming rate, and most of his 0=3 month clothes don't fit.  He's also starting to smile a lot, but we've been unable to get it on camera.  We will be getting our camera back this Sunday though, so we'll definitely try.  

I'm just about done with a really great book that Katie got us called the Mysterious Benedict Society, which I would recommend to everybody.  It's kind of Lemony Snicket-y and kind of Harry Potter-y, a very good, entertaining read.
