Update

Things are moving at lightning speed for my little family. The days are flying by, and I am happy to report that we are living life to the fullest and savoring ever second. Smoochy and I are not the type of people to let an opportunity for fun pass us by. And last night our nearest and dearest friends Matt and Jen gave us the opportunity to see the Dave Mathews Band at the Shoreline Amphitheater.

The concert was a dream-come-true for me. I have desperately wanted to see Dave Matthews and crew live since I was sixteen, and have never until now had the opportunity. Previously tickets have either been too expensive or more often too sold out for me to get the chance to go; but last night the stars aligned and I saw Dave!


Not only did I see Dave, but so did Smoochy and Normy. Yup, we took the kiddo. And actually it went great. He slept most of the show wrapped in his Daddy’s arms protected from the noise and commotion. The concert was better than I could have ever imagined. Dave Matthews and Band performs with such fervor and heart. The music was divine. And nothing can compare to sharing an experience like that with such good friends. Thank you, Matt and Jen, for one heck of a night to remember.



Today Smoochy and I have been recovering form the show and busting our humps to get things ready for our upcoming trip to Kansas and then Korea. Tomorrow my little family departs for Kansas to drop our doggies off with Grandpa and Grandma W. who will be looking after them for a while. Normy and I will be flying and Smoochy will be driving with Jack and Scooter. We are all in for quite an adventure on our trek into the heartland. I am not looking forward to flying alone with Normy; but I would WAY prefer the flight to Smoochy’s two and a half day drive with the dogs. Everyone pray for my hubby that he makes it to KS safe and sound.

We plan on staying in Kansas until Tuesday when we all fly home. The only crummy part about that is that Smoochy flies into Oakland and Normy and I fly into San Francisco. Sheesh. Thank Heaven for BART! Anyway, we will have Wednesday to recoup and the Thursday we are off to Seoul! We are really cooking with gas! So there you have it folks. You guys will only have a few more days to call us on our current cell phones; but we will have new numbers for you once we get to Korea. You all are still going to call us, right? ;-)

Becca,

Does this mean you won't be sharing the Ledom family Christmas with us this year? I'm dying to see Normy, but only have the chance at Christmas time until we move back home. That is awesome that Normy was good at the concert! Weren't there a lot of doobey smokers there though? LOL. Oh one more question...how do you put in links on your blog? I've tried to do it by hitting the link button but once I preview it, it doesn't show. Errr I'm so frustrated. Hope you flights go well and I'll keep you guys in my prayers. Take Care and much love,
Amber and Family

I can't believe you were in Kansas and I didn't get a chance to see Normy. :( I know it was a quick trip and the grandparents and great grandparents get first dibs on the little man. I sure would love to have squeezed the puddin out of him though!! The picture of Jacob holding him while he was sitting on the table was toooooo cute!
Enjoy your adventure!! Be safe and please blog if you are able! It will be a long 3 months for all us diehard smoochy readers!
