busy months full of secrets...

its been forever... i know but i have a good reason! we've just been busy... and my mind has been occupied that i haven't thought about blogging :)

in june we took a trip to the san francisco to go to jeff's dental school graduation.  we flew out friday morning so we could baby sit for jeff and stevie so they could go to the big alumni gala party thing... it was fun to play house for the evening... i fed claire and then chris took her for the rest of the night... played with her and read her stories and put her to bed while i had cadence.. fed her and just held her... 5 weeks old and just sweet and tiny.. i never wanted to put her down... and she didn't want to be put down so it worked out perfectly!

on saturday we woke up and took our time getting ready... and then headed out to the beach... by the bridge... and i have no idea what the beach is called... BUT it was really pretty.  sadly we couldn't stay because it was incredibly cold and windy and we were prepared for neither... i was instantly getting an ear ache (which is normal for me in cold wind) but it was a little miserable.. so we drove to this other spot and got some ice cream and got back in the car... we then got the driving tour which was way fun... my kind of tour where i can stay in the car and just look... san fran is a pretty place.

that evening we met up with the rest of the family for dinner... it was really fun to see them all again and to enjoy dinner... the food was really good.  after we went back to the apartment and chatted with jeff and stevie till late... i like talks like that!

sunday we got up and had breakfast at this vegan restaurant where we had oatmeal and french toast and it was all really good! and thank goodness it was quite the walk so we could burn off some calories both ways! sunday afternoon we got ready and went to graduation... it was 2.5 hours.. but for the most part entertaining.. it was interesting to hear where everyone had come from and where they were going...  after graduation we packed up and headed off to the airport.  it was a really good trip and we are so excited for jeff to be done and soon working as a real dentist.

on this trip we also announced to his family that we are expecting our first baby!!! yep thats right! come february we will have our very own little spillers baby! i will blog more on that later... but it was fun telling his family.  i had chris tell his parents.. when his mom arrived he began by apologizing saying sorry for it taking us a couple months but we were pregnant... haha and then after talking to his dad for a minute he just blurted it out.. well... marilyns pregnant! haha both cracked me up...
