Reporting from Sacramento.

Jane and I have been here at Jodi & Dean's house since last Thursday around 5pm. We drove up via 680 in order to drop off the Soledad Pool vacuum in Concord for repair. We got out and talked to Abe there at Lincoln Equipment. I see him every 6-12 months, so when he last saw me - I was pregnant!

Upon arriving, we gave big hugs to the twinsies and planned for the next 9 days. Friday I attended a class for Special Districts, so Jodi was going to have the "triplets". I had printed out a map to the class before leaving work on Thursday, and the class was only 4 miles from Jodi's house! I didn't even have to go onto the highway. So, I was able to come home for lunch and hang out with everyone. Jodi was doing fine. In fact, she was even walking with them at the big park across from her house when I got home: two in the double stroller and one in the bjorn!

Over the weekend we attended the UC Davis Picnic Day, ate at Chick-fil-a (a family favorite), hung out in the nursery at church, and made my first trip through Super Walmart. It was so much fun hanging out with Jodi, Dean, and the girls. They are relaxed people and confident parents.

Monday AM began my baby boot camp. And I've got to tell you - it is a lot easier than it sounds! Three babies is actually kind of fun: they stay put when you leave them, and are entranced by the light through mini-blinds. The little girls cry more than Jane, but I think they have some gas issues. Poor little girls. They all are very alert and smile when you interact with them.

As the whole family closes any communication.... : We can't wait for Bass Lake this summer! All the cousins in one place will be super fun. We are all totally looking forward to the tradition that my mom began for us: family time at the lake. They are some of my fondest memories. Thanks, Mom.

One more day here in Sac-town. Tomorrow morning Jane and I will saddle up the Explorer and hit the trail. WE miss you a lot (a TON) Blaine/Dad!! We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!!!!
