Happy Birthday Mom A.


Today is Mom Anderson's birthday. We'd like to honor her by including her picture in this post. Ok, so I can't seem to find one of her alone, but here is the Anderson family (without Stephanie) at our wedding.
Happy Birthday Mom A!

I (Stephanie) went to work this morning for meetings, but it wasn't really a 'work' day. I am in the acute care pediatrics educational council, and I am also the secretary for the Inland Empire chapter of the Society of Pediatric Nurses, so I had a lot of business to take care of.
I am trying to decide what kind of future career goals I have for nursing, and whether or not I should be getting a master's degree. *sigh* I do like to learn, but I'm not so sure I actually want to go back to school. I am definitely hoping to become a Certified Pediatric Nurse, but I am not eligible to do that until I have worked full time in pediatrics for two years - so I have one more year to go. Kevin might get his masters someday too, but he has no current plans for it.
Today is windy, but still sunny.


I don't know if everyone has seen our dog, so here are some pictures. This is Ein. He is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and is about 9 years old. We adopted him shortly after we moved to California. He is a very quirky dog [edit by Kevin: foot fetish and OCD licker]. I love him. Kevin doesn't hate him quite as much as he used to [edit by Kevin: I maintain that he is a pathetic excuse for a dog, but the desire to assassinate him and discreetly dispose of the body while Steph is at work has faded with Ein's tendency to poop and pee all over the appt.] .

Working on the House

Image
Just in case you were wondering what I've been doing with my time here these last few weeks, here's an update! First, when we moved into our house, one thing that was immediately apparent was that our Master Bedroom was about 10 or 15 degrees colder than the rest of the house at night. This made sleeping, and especially getting into bed rather uncomfortable. As I've mentioned, the Master Bedroom was an addition that the original builder built for his mother in law, so it is the only room in the house that does not have basement underneath. The problem was, I had no idea where the access to the crawlspace was. Then, one day, I was in the bathroom down stairs, doing what you do in a bathroom, and I noticed a funny looking panel on the wall that just didn't seem quite right for where it was. I then saw heavily painted over screws. EUREKA! The access to the crawl space! Upon inspection, here is what I found. Basically nothing. Not one shred of insulation, no insulation on t...

An Update of Cosmic Porportions

Image
Ok, so it has been a preposterously long time since we last updated this thing. My main excuse is that, as we did not have our own house to live in, I couldn't update as I didn't want to put a bunch of pictures on my in-laws computer, but if I'm honest with myself, I was just being lazy. But here it is! Rejoice, masses, for the Andersons have returned to the internet! So the last time we updated, we had just returned from a nice vacation to Michigan for Tracie's wedding. While we were there, Stephanie applied for jobs, since the odds of me retaining my job at ACA were diminishing by the day (although to this day I have not received official notice of my termination, although it is clearly assumed). Well, she got it, and so two weeks after she got the job we were packed up and heading back to Michigan, for good. But, before we left, our friends and various social circles held farewell parties for us. This was the general 'friends' party at the Wojo's house. I...

Now, The Moment You've All Been Waiting For!

Image
Having decided to make a fashionably late entrance, the baby has finally decided to grace us with her presence! Oh, but there has to be a little bit more anticipation than that! On the 4th of July, Steph and I decided to take a somewhat risky (given her condition) trip to Muskegon, MI to visit the Johnson clan. It proved to be a beautiful trip. While we waited for lunch at Grandma's, Stephanie and I went to the channel to enjoy the beautiful weather and watch all the boats. Can you tell that Steph is eight days overdue? Stephanie wanted a picture of me, so I took this self portrait. I think it captures my 'essence' quite well! After a delicious lunch, and some baby talk with Jessie and Jeremiah (who had their baby June 20...congrats guys!!), everyone headed over to Diane and Dave's for some swimming in the lake! Then, on Tuesday, I took a risky trip to Detroit to pick up some molding I won in an auction. Yep, left my wife, who was 10 days overdue, on a two hour (each wa...
