After the appointment I headed back to Grandma's and share the "no news." I found Caleb and Patrick happy as can be playing in the music room with their very own flutophones. This is very promising for such a musical family.

Today was the BIG appointment. The one where all the guessing stops and we finally learn whether baby #2 is a girl or a boy. Well, not this appointment. I'm sad to say that we have to wait another 4 weeks before we get another chance to find out the sex.
Alison is a great friend and I am so glad we are pregnant at the same time. Caleb and Patrick are so close I can only imagine the next two will be the same. Hurray!
The first thing we noticed at the beach was the cooler temperature. At the Strawberry festival it had been warm and the asphault made it even warmer. The beach was cool and the breeze was even better. Cory and Caleb were the only two who put their bathing suits on but not the only ones to get wet. While Cory helped Jesus get our kite into the air, I rescued Caleb from being knocked over by a wave neither one of us anticipated. I held his little body next to mine and thanked Heavenly Father that I was right there and he was okay. In the process I got totally wet. Later on Jesus hoped in the hole Cory had dug in the sand for the boys to be funny moments before a wave came and filled the hole and Jesus' pockets with water. One of the pockets held his i-phone, which is now ruined. The sand was amazing it was huge pieces of shell and rock. Alison, Connie and I all stood and rubbed our feet back and forth in the sand as part of our pedicure spa treatment.
By the end of the afternoon we were all ready to head to the beach and cool off. Cory was especially looking forward to "clean" feet.

Today we went to the Oxnard Strawberry Festival. I had never been before, Cory was on his 3rd time and Connie her 4th. Jesus and Alison on their 2nd. I couldn't believe ho many people came. There were people everywhere and strawberries in everything! I saw a strawberry in Champagne, Beer, and even in the food court I saw a sign for Strawberry Nachos. I didn't try the Nachos, it just didn't sound good to me. Connie bought a strawberry smoothie and it ended up being the only thing (beside juice and water) that Caleb consumed. By the last sip we all had put our mouths on the same straw and lived to tell about it.
Te best part for me was the craft area. Cory and I both wished that we could have taken more time to enjoy the artwork displayed. So much talent and most of the crafts were useful or beautiful.

Caleb and I picked up Daddy from the airport today and what a happy special day it was. It was a long week. We went to Dewar's to celebrate Cory's safe return and I bet you'll never guess what we ordered... A Georgia's Special of course! Cory and I learned our lesson from last time, we ordered Caleb his very own ice cream - Strawberry. It was a big hit. After the ice cream vanished we walked to the car where Caleb gave Daddy a great big smackaroo. I think Caleb was REALLY glad his Daddy was finally home.
