where the wild things are

we have been staying at a hotel the last few days/nights. it is located in monrovia and sits practically ON the 210 freeway. we figured we would move to a hotel to get out of stacey and aarons hair {and hopefully not get them sick} and to get a good nights sleep, as the aerobed we were using was on its last inflatable leg {poor thing, we spent a couple of nights doing surgery with all kinds of tape to save her}.

i am afraid to report our move to a different location was for not.

cars. whizzing by. ALL NIGHT.

stacey informed me that her kids appear to be sick. {WE ARE SO SORRY YOU GUYS}

shoot.

a few days ago we were driving somewhere. i turned around to talk to eli, he had his head cocked to the left and his mouth cracked open when i looked at him. "eli, where did your tooth go?!?!" he looked back stunned and we both suddenly realized that his little nubby tooth next door to his 2 front teeth was gone! gone! gone! we laughed and laughed. dude must have eaten it with one big mouth-fulls of food. hilarious.

ida has started to wiggle her tummy back and forth to music. it is this funny, jerky motion. she does it anywhere. sitting up, in her car seat, while i am nursing her. i love it.

c.j. may shave today.

we have a channel here at the hotel that is live feed from NASA. it shows the shuttle orbiting the earth, feed from mission control room, outer space. it is so amazing and calming. we had it on all night, no sound just space.

this is going to be amazing.
