New stuff

since my last post was on Feb 2, and it is now May 18, I guess there is some updating to do.
Here's the short version:
1. I'm 18 weeks pregnant
2. We are still living in the same apartment
a. We have not had to call the cops on our neighbors since mid-April and rumor has it that they are vacating before June.
3. I am still at the same job; it's still very enjoyable.
4. Neil is still at the same job, risking life for limb (tree trimmer)
5. The weather is still gorgeous - we did have a bout with vog but that has cleared up
6. I've discovered hiking and love it
7. I've only been surfing while pregnant once so far, and yes, we did stand up but it was on a wave that was probably six inches high
8. We will be taking vacation in about two weeks to the East Coast and we are very excited
9. The baby is due October 18 and we are not finding out what sex it is, so I guess this gives my brother permission to still call the baby "Aiden's cousin it"

And new pictures are on the way!

Miss you all,
Ellen
