Ben's new boss was getting an award from the Urban League of Sacramento. We got invited to attend. We had a great time--the food was delicious and the entertainer was Sinbad! He was absolutely hilarious. What a great way to end a pregnancy--I totally recommend getting dressed up--it did wonders for my 'emotional' state.

Randomness
Well, not much is going on these days! I've wanted to post a few things but I cannot seem to get my camera to download pictures these days...so before I forget, here are some of the things to look forward to becoming eventual posts:
Eliza's Hair Cut--cut off about 3 inches. She thinks she is the coolest now!
Trenton Ray vs. Violet Jeanne--we're only one month away from the 'big' day (the real due date is May 21) and I still have NO CLUE what is rolling around inside of me. We've got names ready though and are anxiously awaiting the arrival. Trenton is for the Battle of Trenton (as in the American Revolution) and Ray is Ben's middle name. Violet was my Grandmothers middle name and Jeanne (well, he spelled it Gene) was my grandfathers name but since one of the coolest girls I have ever known and one of my best friends has the middle name Jeanne--I figured we could spell it that way.
Celebrating Easter--we did not do much for Easter this year because we were not together as a family. But once we were all together the kids and I decorated a bunny house and eggs and we ate plenty of candy and stuff. I cannot wait until we get to do our Christ centered Easter lessons/Holy Week activities again next year--we all missed them. In fact, Xander reminded us about them! :) Maybe next year bud when we aren't in the middle of a move?
Other than that, we are enjoying being near family and playing with cousins and such ALL the time. We are grateful that we have a job and that it just happens to be here. My kids constantly ask if they can go back to their green house in Oregon. Or to Out of this World Pizza. Unfortunately (well, actually fortunately) someone will be taking over our lease the 2nd week of May so Ben is going up to get everything next weekend. I really wish we could all go. Maybe it would put me in labor??? :D
