ziplining!

for several years, i've wanted to go ziplining.  i first watched ben have all the fun in san diego, when we took a babymoon before dylan's arrival.  at the san diego safari park, he soared 2/3 of a mile over the rhinos (!) and such.   then, this past march, we booked an 8-line zipline up in ka'anapali, but were weathered out!  well, on my drive up to sheep mountain, i saw a sign off the highway, advertising ZIPLINE!  i called and booked a flight for the man and i - a well-deserved, much-needed day date!  thank you, nana lynn for entertaining... or rather, being entertained - the kiddos love their time with you!

super-flattering harnesses

 all geared up and ready to go.

(and, don't you just love that warning?)

 about 40 feet up

(excuse my lens flare... eek.)

 super-fun!

 nice pictures, benji!

ben's turn!

back in my sheep mountain post, i commented on all the fun names and sayings off the side of the road.  since we didn't have the kiddos in tow, we were able to jump out and create our own something.  after a little deliberation, we came up with this:

{!!!}

we are obviously thrilled and feeling completely blessed to welcome another miebs hellion beauty.  it's a little surreal to imagine what another will look and be like.  we have one of each already; we know what a miebs' girl and boy look like.  so, it's fun to chatter about what qualities and quirks this one will carry.  as of now, we're compiling favorite names; not finding out baby's gender; planning a home birth and being extremely lazy.  i forgot how much the first trimester sucks the life outta ya!
