to me (and Laura).
I thought I'd share my funny birthday story. Today I had to go to the Navy Federal here on base to get Traveler's Checks that I took out to the Bank of Yokohama to convert to Yen. So the teller at Navy Federal hands over the checks for me to sign and date. I signed my name and dated them. When she looked at them she got this screwy look on her face and said...."you dated them December 4, 1967" When I started laughing she continued to look at me screwy thinking I'd totally lost my mind. When I explained that it was my birthday and 1967 just naturally follows 12/4 she finally got it. I'm just glad she caught it before I headed to the Japanese bank. I'm afraid they wouldn't have found it funny at all.
Tonight I had a "birthday party" at the bowling alley with Andrew, my friend Jackie and her 3 kids. The kids had a ball which made my day happy. Tomorrow I'll pack for my trip to get Ethan on Wednesday.

Happy Birthday Patty!
Sounds like the big birthday present gets to you on Wednesday, though!
I'll be knitting for the little guy after the holidays -- I'm a little swamped right now and I would usually get at least 6 months to knit for a friend's baby!!!
Best Wishes for your birthday and your growing family!!
That's funny... :-) No wonder you were distracted, that's how every mom is just before the baby comes! I LOVE how your head is sending you through the whole merry-go-round of pre-baby wonderland; (although I'm guessing you don't love how it's been compressed into just a few weeks - ha ha!) Well, in just a few hours, you'll be the hip, sling-wearing Mama, navigating through urban Japan with one on your front and one at your hand. I'm so excited for the details! I wish so much I could hold him, too.... :-)
