Hawaiian Shirt Day

Img_3136_2 Finally, a picture.  Not an updated one though..hanging my head in shame.  Our lovely friends the Perrys are Hawaiian and brought shirts and outfits home from their trip last summer.  So enjoy our family day taken last year. Img_3139_2

Scarlett was not having a good day.  Teething.  So the only way to get her to smile was her usual prescription of toddler air time.  Always a sure-fire way to make that child smile.  Img_3138

My List Of Reads!

As most of you know my blogroll is unorganized and half of who I read is not on there.  So this is my attempt at getting organized and getting to know more of you.  All of my reads will go here from now on. I am trying to post more, read more, and get back into the swing of things by doing a little spring cleanup.

I was tired of keeping all of you guys in my favorite section of my computer and thought this would be easier.  If you would like to see your name here email me and I would be happy to add you.  There is nothing like having us infertiles, adopters, adoptees, fertiles, families, etc all plastered into one place.    If you read me I want you here so I can get to know you also.  If you know another blogger who I might like and I do not have here let me know.  I am thinking directory.

Update

Scarlett is doing oh so well!  Adorable.  She is talking so much, tantruming so much, and independently move through life.  She is a cuddler and so sweet.  Of course, as a Guatemalan, she loves babies.  I mean loves them.  She tenderly pats their head and nurtures anything resembling a baby.  Kids her own age.....whack, smack, and scratch lately.  If she is tired or teething, which she has been for a month, she is not very good at sharing or getting along.  If she is well rested she is a delight.  Fiery dramatic little thing.....oh where does she get it?

Have I mentioned that we got chickens last summer?  Yes, we did.  Urban farming here we come.  We recently donated fertilized eggs to a school and they incubated our babies. One made it and came home a few days ago.  Much to the delight of my dogs who are hovering over it's cage with their big noses chasing it around.  The chicken likes it and the dogs are loving the chicken.  Matches made in heaven.  How do you ask do we come by fertilized eggs?  Why a rooster of course!  We are only allowed to have hens in our town but ummmm what do you expect from a couple of urban dwellers like ourselves who stupidly mistake a rooster for a hen.  We are chicken farmers.  Yep!

Bees.....Scarlett saw her first movie on the big screen and loved it.  You know The Bee Movie.  We though it was appropriate since we are getting two hives for our yard!  We have an unheard of acre in our city and happen to be next door to the community garden so it seems as if we live in the country.  We are so excited.

I will mention the goats in another post. :)

Still mind sucking infertile.  Damn.  So frustrating.  This is one of the reasons why I feel blocked up here is because on one hand I am so damn happy to be a mom and on the other hand still pissed off...no not pissed just sad about not being able to conceive.  On a funny note, my friend and I were chatting the other day and discussing infertility as she had recently come down with a case of bad-ute-itis.  The conversation turned to if I ever get pregnant it would be a ticker on CNN.  I do not know which is more funny....the fact that she had so little faith in Paris and Nicole ( my ovaries) to turn their ovarian life around or that it would be news worthy for us to get pregnant.  I may have to add this to the list of "You know you are infertile when..."  Six years plus and counting.  Go ovaries!!!

Well I need sleep....really need sleep.  Minana?  OK?  I know you need more...like pics.....
