Ready for Mr. Cache

It is September 23 and Cache is due on October 23 and better not be late :)

I finished knitting a sweater for him today and it is so cute and little and makes me excited to hold the new bambino.


I have his crib all set up and he has a sailor theme.



We are ready to welcome our new little one!

Pics of our home

Here are some pictures of our new place. It feels like home and we are happy here.








The Biggest Loser

























Luke and I are die-hard Biggest Loser watchers. I don't know how the obsession started but we are hooked and watch it every Tuesday night. The new season started this week and we have until Halloween to choose our contestant.

I am feeling like I need to go on it now because I am tired of my huge baby bump out front. Good thing that is just a temporary, self-imposed condition.

One month until due date--hooray!!

A bad first day

Everyone wants a flawless starting of a new job. The morning should run smoothly, your clothes and hair should look great, and you should arrive a little early after finding a close parking spot. All these things should calm your nerves and help you have the best first day ever.

Unfortunately, this was not the case for Luke. He did get up on time, his clothes and hair looked great, and he did arrive a little early. The great parking spot was not an issue because Kade and I had to drive him to work. . .

It all started when Luke washed both cars on Friday afternoon. Kade played in the Jeep while Luke was cleaning and Kade turned on the dome lights in the Jeep and we didn't notice, so we then had a dead battery on Saturday. No worries though, we jumped the Jeep with the Gal and went about on our way.

Too bad that after we jumped the Jeep we left one of the doors on the Gal slightly ajar so its battery also died. And then the Jeep's battery needed to be replaced.

All this boils down to Monday morning when Luke went out to start the Gal and drive to work. It was dead. Good thing was have two cars so he went to the Jeep. It was dead. A little bit of panic set in.

Our wonderful neighbor jumped the Gal and Luke, Kade and I all drove him in to San Jose because I needed a car that day to go to my first doctor visit for baby Cache on Monday.

Both cars now run but it was not a flawless starting to Luke's career! A good story for him to tell when he is a business executive and is trying to motivate his new employees on their first day.

We are here!

We made it to our new home! Luke was very manly and drove the 24 foot truck pulling the Jeep and Kade and I drove the Gal. We were lucky that his dad could drive with him and his mom came with me.

Our new apartment is slowly coming together and when there aren't boxes and odds-and-ends all over then I will post some pictures.

Kade loves the swimming pool and the grassy areas right outside our front door and calls this place "home," so I think we are settled in.

We are enjoying our free schedule for this week until Luke starts training on Monday.

So far so good in San Jose.
