Part Deux Coming in May

As many of you may know, the big news as of late is that we are expecting another baby.  With an estimated debut date of May 22, 2011 everyone here is very excited.  The big shoutout was done on Facebook thanks to Ellie and in fact the new baby has a Facebook profile (Kiddo Kleinheinz) so feel free to follow the baby’s progress there.
 
In other news, Ellie is doing great, fully potty-trained for a few months now and doing great.  And she’s full of new things to say.  She likes to drop a “Yes Sir!” every once in a while when I ask her to do something.  She’s a big fan of “I’m kidding” and shouting “To infinity and beyond” while jumping off the couch.  And clearly the imagination is in overdrive, she likes to wear this red wristband and say she is a rescuer.  Not sure where she got that or what she is rescuing, but it keeps her entertained for a long time!
 
The house has had some bad mojo lately regarding electrical appliances. First, the steam-cleaner went out, which was a result of sucking up too much dog hair.  Then the microwave went out and had to be fixed.  Then the washer went out and had to be replaced.  And overall things have been a little sketchy on the electrical front.  Fingers crossed that everything is behind us, but if not I’m just going to blame the aliens, that’s the only explanation.
 
Katelyn had homecoming last weekend and danced the night away.  She had a good time and looked beautiful in her dress.
 
We’ve been trying to do some day-trip type things lately. In mid to late September we went down to Watsonville for some apple and strawberry picking at an orchard down there.  That was fun.  Steph and Katelyn made an apple pie when we got home, possibly the best apple pie I’ve ever had!  We also hit Pastorino Farms last weekend for some pumpkin patch fun, which has really changed since I went to the pumpkin patch.  I remember going on a school field trip and simply running around the field and just grabbing a pumpkin before we left.  But now they have hay rides, and train rides, and petting zoos, and pony rides, and haunted houses, and jumpy houses….it’s a whole day’s worth of stuff.  But we had a great time, and my friend Scott who I worked with at KNBR runs the farm so it was nice to catch up with him.  So, if you are looking for something to do before Halloween, check out Pastorino Farms in Half Moon Bay .  Lots of fun for the kids.
