For the record we are a family of 4 children now. I realized that nearly all my postings have been leaning towards Grace our newest addition. I hope that for the sake of my other deprived children that the mantra will not become the Brady-esk (if that is a word) "Gracie, Gracie Gracie ... that's all I hear!" I do have to admit that Grace is an easy subject and like most new Born's they require constant attention, therefore naturally become the center of all attention.
Today was the emergency preparedness fair (co-sponsored by the city of Walnut Creek) and I got to take the "Other three" out for a spin so to speak. We had fun. The highlights for the kids, and particularly Ben was the Bomb Squad, complete with the robot, and the favorite Fire truck. I have to admit that there were other "First Responders" there, but some lacked the enthusiasm of the Police and Fire units present. Namely the Red Cross disaster relief mobile unit.
It looked like they were in a modified U-Haul truck. The second owners (after U-Haul and before the Red Cross) must have tried to convert the moving van into an RV in the driveway and after failing sold it to the Red Cross at a bargain price. Unfortunately I did not get photo to share. (I need to start thinking and snapping photos like a blogger!) The people manning the truck looked like they just got off the night shift as they sat on the tail gate swinging their legs waiting for interested people to see what kind of services they offer. I have all the respect for the Red Cross and what they do and stand for, I was just sorry for them. Their faded orangeie reddish and white truck could not compete with the larger than life just waxed all the bells and whistles, uniformed Fire Truck or Bomb Squad. At any rate just to prove I really was there with the kids here are the photos in the Fire truck. We all had fun and Dad enjoyed the tri tip sandwich. Yum. The fair had a good turn out and was well organized. Viva la 72 Hr Kit!

O.K. so a BIG SHOUT OUT TO SCOTTY! Just happened to see a Scotty post on Celia's blog (whom by the way I don't know . . . but apparently my whole family knows) . . . and saw a post from you. I thought to myself, wouldn't that be just too cool if it were the Scotty . . . as in Scott Jacobs? And sure enough . . . it's you. What up my friend? I was just thinking about the college days this morning . . . and how I have lost contact with just about everybody . . . except my cousin Weeze. For a little update on what's been going down in my world (no pictures of course since we have been having major computer issues for 2 months), you can visit my blog. heidiram.blogspot.com Peace out bro.

Scotty, I had no idea you were so popular. Nipple Vagina.
Gosh, Scotty, she's just so nasty. I enjoyed a little tri-tip myself yesterday, as well kid shots in the fire truck. There's no better gift for a mommy than time alone with the newborn.
Ooo! She looks like a little doll! I want to hold her and cuddle her!
