Updates!

It has been awhile since I have posted anything.  Life has been great, but rather uneventful.  I thought I might share a few highlights from the past few weeks: 

• No news on the baby front.  I took Femara at the beginning of the cycle and am tracking ovulation with my monitor, but we have opted out of the ovidrel shot this time.  We feel like we are ready for a few months of less stress and pressure.  My ovulation days also happen to fall on/around Snake Hunt, which is taking place this weekend, which is attended by thousands of people and we are staying in a camper with family and friends... clearly no baby making. haha :) There is still always a chance. (Not a chance that conception would take place in a camper full of people, but in general, there is always a chance). It does feel good to not be poked, prodded or having my insides explored this month.
• Emma, mom and Ky came to visit and we took a trip to the zoo.  You would think this would be fun, but it was exhausting! Emma could care less about the animals.  Her favorite things were the big rocks, the water and the Mennonite women.  
• Short story.  We crossed paths with a family/group of Mennonite women wearing bright new spring long dresses. Just as they are passing us Emma yells, "BYE PRINCESSES!!! I WANT TO WEAR A DRESS!" Adorable, and the highlight of the entire day.
• Emma also made us stop at every rock and water feature.  Do you have any idea how many of those things there are in our zoo? It took us and hour and a half to walk a mile... seriously.
• Austin and his friends FINALLY cut down a big dead tree in our yard.  He has been promising to do this for months. It kept dropping huge dead limbs on the car port.  I was plotting to pay to have the thing cut down as soon as he left for his next job.  No need now.  We cam home from the zoo and the boys hadn't touched the tree, (that was promised to have been removed, yet again) So I opened my big ole mouth and asked when they planned to take care of that.  Right now, was the response. YIKES! That thing is huge! There is no way you guys can do this without taking out our house or our other tree.  Not to worry. They all assured me they had watched enough episodes of Axe Men to handle this.  Sure enough, the tree came down without any giant disaster following.
• The mice have left now that it is warmer. Woo hoo! 
• Lou has been out of her kennel everyday and only one pillow has been eaten. Another woo hoo!

I am sure that I will have stories after our upcoming adventure weekend at the dunes. Stay tuned!
