What a Weekend!

My parents came to visit us in San Jose this past weekend. They got in on Thursday night and I actually dropped them off at the airport this morning.

It was an unofficial "Bring Your Parents to Work Day" on Friday and my students got to listen to Dr. Fairchild discuss his work on Maui and the telescope there. They only spent the morning in my classroom and then they got the heck out of there and enjoyed some sights and shopping. Friday evening we had dinner and laughed about what a drama queen I was as a child. I think my mom is hoping I have a little girl just like I was as a sort of payback.

Saturday we took a drive up the coast. We showed my parents the town of Tiburon (which is just on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge) and had lunch on the water. It was a beautiful day. Then, we drove up to a state park that looks over the Pacific Ocean. You can see San Fran and the Golden Gate on a clear day.

Then, Sunday came. Oh dear. Sunday we had to take Roxy to the vet. She's been having some tummy trouble. Turns out the poor pup has pancreatitis! She needs to be on a strict diet and they gave her some meds. She'll be fine, but my poor parents had to see Roxy's "mess" and deal with all of the doggie drama. They said it was no big deal.

Update on pregnancy: I have more energy... and more belly. Not much, but it looks like I ate a big meal. I'm still wearing my normal clothes, but I should admit that I unbuttoned the top of my pants when I came home from work today. That's a new occurrence.
