You know you're from California when...
you are the only family you know of that actually stood in the doorway during this morning's 5.2 earthquake. I'm sure there are other people that stood in their doorways... I just haven't talked to them today. When we felt it early this morning Dan calmly looked at me and said, "earthquake" and then hopped out of bed and walked to the door. He's experienced a few more than I have.

Sunbeams
One more post. I just uploaded the pictures from my "purse" camera today and found some I wanted to share. Today was a really good day but also kind of emotional for some reason. Maybe I was kind of emotional because it was our last Sunbeams class. Carter has been taking the class for 12 weeks and has really enjoyed it. I decided not to sign up for the last session because of how much we have going on with the end of the school year. So... today was the last day of his first "class." Here are some pics from the morning:
My good friend Jenny Lark and her daughter Manna have been taking the class with us. We headed to our favorite park after the class was over to enjoy some of the beautiful weather we had today.
The other great part of my day was Carter's nap time. Our Pastor's son is home schooled and has volunteered three of his afternoons to sit at the house so I can get out for some alone time. It has been wonderful. Today while he was here I was able to have lunch with two good friends. This leads me to the other part of my emotional day. Let me just start by saying that Dan took Monday and Tuesday off because he felt pretty awful. Anyway, during lunch my cell phone rang. I answered it and it was Dan's principal. He said he didn't want to alarm me but they couldn't find Dan. I just about lost it. I couldn't figure out where Dan could be in the middle of the school day that would cause him to be gone long enough for the principal to call me. Students had gone to his classroom after lunch and the door was locked. They also knocked on one of the bathroom doors and it was locked and no one was answering. You can probably guess what everyone was thinking with Dan not having felt well this week already. I jumped in my car and headed towards home to see if he was there. On the way he finally answered his cell phone. It turns out that he had been in a meeting and lost track of time. Everyone is laughing about it now but I still feel kind of shook up about it.
After school we headed back to our favorite neighborhood park with Dan. The Maplewood Girls Soccer team practices there because space is so limited at the school. Carter is always obsessed with their soccer balls. The fact the the girls are practicing right there doesn't seem to bother him. He almost got away with one of the balls.
Ok... that ended up being a lot longer than I meant it to be.

Sometimes I'm so busy messing with the settings on my camera that I miss that "perfect shot." Oh well... I'm getting used to being ok with the blur...
I had to post these last two because these show more of his personality. Here he is standing on the arm of our living room chair. It's not allowed but I still had to take a picture.
One "boop" on and one "boop" off.

Some current obsessions...
1. I finally bought this song on iTunes last night. Fred and I watch American Idol together every week. Jason is one of my favorites and I LOVE this song!
2. Netvibes - Dan got me hooked on this free program that allows you to see every website you like all on one page. I have all the blogs I look at on one tab, my e-mail on another and news websites and craigs list on another. It's awesome!
3. Whoever invented this game is a genius. It is so much fun. The guys were making fun of me saying that I play Guitar Hero during the day instead of taking care of Carter. Really I only play it during naps. I did finally pass Easy.
4. Brandi Carlile - Cari was listening to one of her albums when I was visiting her a couple months ago. She's awesome.
