Time flies

Hello to all that reads this blog. Boring I know. I have not posted in a while and today I have no pics to load because my hubby needs to work out a kink with our computer. What's been happening in the Perry household?????

I am 33 weeks along in my pregnancy. Boy, being pregnant in Southern California for the last trimester is much more preferable to Yokosuka, Japan. It is hot hot hot here and it is not even the hottest it is going to get. I never had heat issues with Ronan, but that is Southern CA for you. Love that area, but we are enjoying our experiences here. This little one will have a neat story to tell when he is asked..."Where are you from?"

I am feeling good for the most part. Getting excellent care at the Yokosuka Naval Hospital. Ronan is now 4. We had a little family get together, just him, Josh and me on his actual birthday. Star Wars Lego set and Star Wars transformers presents ruled. Ronan got to visit with his cousin Ryan in Rogers, Arkansas this past May. Ryan was great about letting Ronan play with his Star Wars toys and now Ronan is hooked. Speaking of Rogers, AR--we had a great, but too short a visit, with my oldest brother Tim and his family (Vicki, Ryan and Sarah). We also got to visit with my other brother Rourke and family. Erin is 16 and Hayley is 13. WOW! is all I can say. I remember when they were just infants. And Ronan got to spend some quality time with his Cookie (my mom).

Washington State was another visit while stateside. We went to see our good friends, The Bowsers. Laura and I were preggers with our first in Port Hueneme, CA. She is now a mother of 3. Time flies. Ronan and Sarah played with each other as if 2 years had not passed since they last saw each other. Laura's other two are just a beautiful. I must say, her son Ben stole my heart. He is a cutie.

A visit to Portland, OR allowed us to spend much enjoyed time with Josh's sister Rebecca and her husband Peter. Josh's dad Bruce came for a few days as well. It was a good time.
We went to the Portland Zoo, got to see the big hospital where Rebecca works, and we rode a tram. Ronan enjoyed that very much.

Our stateside visit also took us to New Orleans, LA and Carencro, LA. My very best friends and I got together for Memorial Day Weekend at the Crozier House. Marie was 36 weeks along in her pregnancy at the time. We threw her a wonderful baby shower and ate some AWESOME food. I ate 3 lbs of crawfish by myself. I could have done 5 lbs, but I wasn't sure if I was going to have heartburn afterwards (like two more pounds would have made the heartburn less uncomfortable). Good news--no heartburn and the crawfish was delicious. Spending time with Jeanne, Heather and Marie and families is the best.

Well, I could gush about the trip a lot more but this blog is boring enough. I will post pics to match the info later this month. So much more going on, swim lessons, growing belly, birth of baby Morgan Crozier. Until next time--cheers, Kristin
