Multi-Talented Boy

I've been trying to summon up enough energy at the end of the day to publish a few more posts on all the fun we had in California. I've been extremely tired (exhausted) by the end of each day and it's just been impossible to find the energy to do much!

Today I had a prenatal visit and the Midwife informed me that I'm pretty anemic, my hematocrit has dropped about 5 points and they want me to take iron supplements. It's pretty common during pregnancy.... I just hate taking iron supplements because of what it does to my gut! But, if it means I'll have some more energy well that sounds good by me! So hopefully the extra iron helps!

Ok, on to a few more highlights from California. Vince got himself mixed up with lots of fun on the trip for sure. He became a technical wizard at being a Ham Radio Operator when we visited Marshall and he let Vince grab the driver's seat:

Marshall, Vince, And Me


Vince gets the hang of talking to people from all over the world, and finding out the latest emergencies around Greater Los Angeles


Already talking to people like a pro


Then we had a great time at my brother's when he got to ride his Uncle Michael's beautiful horse Mohagony! My brother graciously allowed Vince to borrow his cowboy hat for the ride


And perhaps the highlight was when we boarded the flight home! As we got in the plane the stewardess and captain invited Vince and Mike into the cockpit to learn the ropes of flying a plane! Did I mention how much I love Virgin America!!! These people rock!! What airline lets anyone even near the cockpit anymore! I couldn't believe it, I waited outside in the teeny tiny stewardess area while Vince (and mostly Mike) got his fix on airplane flying, and learned all the gadgets and buttons that were up there. I waited so long I finally poked my head in and saw this:

Vince sitting in the Captain's seat! I finally just went to my seat instead of waiting for those two to be done! Everyone should fly on Virgin America

more pictures to come.... tired now, must... go... to... bed...
