Here ye... Here ye... Beware the wrath of the Gods and Goddesses...

So the sojourn to Californ-i-a was as awesome as anticipated. There are certainly no wall flowers in our family (and Annie Miller is part of our family of course...) as evidenced by our costumes for the party on Saturday. I think that my stomach is still reeling from Christine's famous last words to our driver... "Catch that Ferrari!!!" All of a sudden we are jolted into a scene of the Italian Job, only in a 15 passanger van heading up a steep hill with dramatic drop offs at every curve just for effect... It was just like an episode of Fear Factor and we were the main event!!!

So as mentioned on the infamous Korkosz website (which as usual is much better than this ol thing...:-) ) Annie Miller was Hera, my shy Brother-in-law Jim was Neptune or Posiden depending on who you asked, my beautiful sister Christine was the goddess Selene, my equally shy father was Bacchus, God of Inebriation, and I was Juno, impregnated by a flower with my unborn son, Mars. Randomly throughout the night, the war cry of "Baccchhhuuuuss" could be heard bouncing off of the floors of italian marble... Too fun!!! I think the weirdest part of the evening (besides straight people saying "Did you see the flower arrangement over the fireplace??" "Did you see the flower arrangement on the buffet table??" "No really, did you see the flowers on the fireplace??" over and over again...) was that I was the sober one while everyone else was under the Bacchus spell... I think that I will forever remember my darling father with grapes hanging from his wig.. too funny!!!

Sydney is by far the most beautiful little girl in the world (you can see her on Christine's site...) and Cooper finally loves me!!! We bonded over Virginia Giant, the monster truck... It was very sad to say goodbye to them, but at least I will get to see them in just a couple of months on D-DAY (aka. Delivery Day...)

Colton proved me right by kicking his stuff for Aunt Steen and Granddaddy this weekend... Kevan thinks that I make up that he kicks me a lot, but I have witnesses now!!! He discovered the trampoline otherwise known as my bladder on the plane ride out there this weekend, and oh, what fun...

alright, I need to start unpacking the huuuuuge duffle bags that I brought back with baby clothes for Colton... I hope that everyone had a great weekend, and that all is well...

Goodbye for now...
