Olive making noises at the birds outside. Of course, I turn on the video function and she gets eerily silent.

We need to figure out what we are going to do with this old couch that is currently in the room that will someday be your room.... but for now, Olive likes to sit on it while I am working and make noses at the birds.

This is Probosces. 

Well, actually.... "A proboscis /proʊˈbɒsɪs/ is an elongated appendage from the head of an animal, either a vertebrate or an invertebrate. In invertebrates, the term usually refers to tubular mouthparts used for feeding and sucking. In vertebrates, the term is used to describe an elongated nose or snout."

This is a toy that came with my happy meal tonight. I have named it Proboscis and it joined us at the gaming table. (Aunt Allison and Uncle Evan introduced me to a role playing game called Fate, those are the dice for Fate.)

We had a lot of fun adding this little bobble headed toy into th egame.  No idea if it will survive the next several months... but there you go.

Something I didn't mention about my LA trip.

I had Fruit Loops for the first time.

I am a changed woman.

See, your Grandma would never have lt me eat them when I was young (likewise, you won't find them an option for your breakfst) and as an adult I never had the inclination to eat them.

But in LA, at the weird little breakfast bar that was in the hotel, one morning I tried them. PArtly because I was getting pretty tired of Cheerios, partly because the smell was lovely.

Oh my, yum!

Now I can't seem to get enough.... but don't worry, I am eating healthy besides these yummy little things.....

Aunt Robin and I went shopping today and got you a dresser!

Yeah, it needs some polish and I should line the drawers so you don't get splinters... but it was a great price, it fit in the back of her car, and it is all for you!

I can't wait to start setting up the nursery!

They say that kids will like veggies if their parents like veggies.

Well, I like veggies... and I LOVE the way your Aunt Robin makes cucumber salad. There's crab meat, cucumbers... and... other stuff...

It is lovely! She knows how much I like it and she tends to make it a lot for me.

Very quiet day while I recovered and dealt with being sick.

Lots of couch cuddles with Olive and a marathon of "Supernatural" episodes.

Not a bad day.... and Daddy comes home tomorrow!

Weirdly, my favorite part of LA was Union Station.

Maybe it was the architectural aspectIs.
Maybe it was the knowledge that I was going home....

Either way, it was nifty.

I love traveling by train.... can't wait to take you on your first train ride. Will it be to Sacramento? Modesto? San Jose? San Francisco? Who knows!
