Spring Break in Pictures

Enough of the Debbie Downer posts - time for some pictures. I haven't posted any in forever (mostly because I don't have them), but I did take a few on my phone during my "Spring Break" a few weeks ago to share.

Saturday I went to a crawfish boil at Denisse's house.  We've been friends for 22 years.  That's pretty cool.  No pictures from the crawfish boil - I need to get better about that!

Saturday night was full of baking for Sunday's No Boys Allowed (except a few special boys) ride in Brenham:


Our bike ride was beautiful - we rode 50 miles total, with a stop at the Southern Flyer Diner at the Brenham Airport at mile 45.  These pictures were taken from the porch of the diner.


Monday I headed to Beaumont for my 1.5 day Spring Break with my family.  We visited Mrs. Clark across the street while she fed the animals. I had no idea Kate and Molly were such horse lovers!  They were in heaven.
Bennett...not so much...
They have a small owl that lives in the barn too - hard to see, but look just below the orange/red piece of metal in the picture.  He's tiny and very cute!

The weather was a bit dreary on Tuesday, but I still made it out for a quick 25 mile ride before the rain came.  Living in Houston, be able to get to this (wide, smooth highway shoulders, pictured below) from the driveway, less than 10 miles from home, without risking certain death, is something to be coveted:

Once Bennett fell asleep for her afternoon nap, Elizabeth, Kate, Molly and I snuck out to get manicures and pedicures.  That is tied with the crazy jumpy thing at the mall as Kate and Molly's favorite thing to do in Beaumont.  Thanks Mom!

Lastly, we went to dinner Tuesday night to celebrate my sister's St. Patrick's day birthday.  It is scary to see Molly growing up - she was wearing skinny jeans!  And once again, Bennett wasn't having anthing to do with a camera:

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

Still here. Still infertile.

Sigh.  Here we are again.  We knew all along we would be able to start the process for baby #2 when Sloane was nine months old.  I had said we did not necessarily want kids that close together, but knew just because we started then did not mean we would get pregnant then.  If I had only known how true that is becoming.  Silly us had started having visions of three kids.  The only way we can have three kids is to have things go smoothly, not lose embryos, and not lose time.  Well, so far we have lost an embryo and a lot of time in the quest for our next baby. I breezed through prep for our transfer in early May.  The stress load was so much less than before because I thought we had it figured out.  We had Sloane as a great distraction.  My lining was better than it has ever been before - by far.  Then, the day after Mother's Day, I found out it did not work.  And I was immediately thrown back into the depths of infertility hell....
