We just got home from Al's house..It was so good seeing her, catching up, and spending some quality time together before the circus on Saturday! Preston was smitten until it was past his bedtime...Then he was smitten with mommy's milk....what's new though?
We were approved for health insurance today..Thank god. I didn't think it would go through being that the insurance companies are so stingy with the people they accept. Last time I applied, I was denied because I had been to the doctor one time in the 12 months prior to submitting the application. This time I was actually an inpatient in the hospital...I didn't ask any questions, I just took the approval.
We also found Mr. Prince a pediatrician and scheduled his 2 month well-baby check...It is so nice having a trusted friend with a baby one month older than Preston...like I keep saying, she's does the research and I follow..

Meeting the cousins...
Preston finally got to his cousins...Nate and Taylor have changed so much since the last time that I saw them and especially since the last time that David saw them...Taylor is walking now and Nate is a complete chatterbox...Nate was obsessed with Preston...I overheard him say, "I love you so much baby". He called Preston a "her" all night, and wanted to have one hand on him at all times. He just liked being so close to him.... I loved it...I hope they have a special bond when they grow up.

Basketball finals...
We spent the last game of the series at one of our high school friend's home...It was so good to see some of the guys, which we hadn't seen for so long! BOOO to the Lakers...I don't like them.
These pictures make me smile...
We have officially been in California for a week now..It actually feels like we have been here much longer...We have been having some serious family time and it feels good. Preston finally met Austin in person..He has seen pictures and even got to hang out with him in utero, but never in the flesh. It was so fun to watch them...Preston=Mr. Serious....Austin=Mr. Giggles! I had a great time catching up with Sarah and Jason and Preston played with Austin...Sarah made these great onesies and even had one that greeted us with a Konnichiwa! Austin really is as smiley in person! And, Preston really is not. ha ha, I think he would rather still be on the inside. We had some sucking, some falling, some leaning, some giggling, some smiling, some kicking, and a lot of fun going on! These pictures will be priceless in 16 years.

We are home!
We were so happy to finally be in California....I think Preston is too. His crying stints have not reared their ugly heads, since arriving...It is all the sunshine and family. It makes him happy. We are in the process of looking for an apartment and in the mean time are getting some quality family time in by living with my parents and David's mom. I am sure that once we move out, we will have had plenty of quality time. We are enjoying the meals and extra arms..Preston is getting even more holding time, which he loves because he is a hold-me-all-the-time-baby!
