Misc

Does anyone still read this blog? Lately I have just felt like blogging was more of a chore then something I enjoyed doing. Hopefully this will pass.

We have had a lot going on lately and I think it is mostly from the stress in our lives right now. My computer got a virus and had to have the hard drive replaced. Thankfully we were able to save most everything. Ella and Mike have both been sick off and on for the past three months. Mike's job has been going through bankruptcy/collapse then a merger then two rounds of layoffs and now they have been purchased. So we will have to wait and see what they will do with his division. The purchase could be completed as soon as July or no later than October. Only time will tell but I feel like we are on a roller coaster that will never end. Do not get me wrong I am grateful he has a job but I am tired of living in fear he is going to lose his job. We are ready to make plans and get on with our lives.

This past weekend we had the pleasure of camping with two other couples and had a blast. Mike and I love camping so much we have another trip already planned in three weeks. The next trip Ella will join us along with four other families. I can't wait! Here are a few pictures from the trip this past weekend.

You can see more camping pictures here.
On a side note it turns out the guitarist for Hootie and the Blowfish camped right next to us. Mike thought he recognized him even though he is not a fan and confirmed it before we left.

Now we need to work on english

This morning Ella surprised us by counting to five in spanish. She has done it several times for us today so we thought we would share it with you. Now we have to work on counting to five in english. Right now she is only up to three.

Sneak Peak

This is a sneak peak at one of the photos from Sara & Jimmi's engagement photos.  They turned out great.  Will post more when we receive the whole package. Still no date set but hopefully it will follow soon.

Recovering Quickly / Soaking up some sun

Thank you for all of your prayers. They were all felt the day of surgery. I came home late Thursday morning and have been resting ever since. Fortunately there is minimal pain and I can be back to work in a week.

Today I laid outside while Mike hid Easter eggs for Ella. We also had a visit from our neighbors Carri, Brad and Hudson because they were so kind to make us dinner.

Update to the Update

Robin is in a room and surgery went well. She has no pain and is resting comfortably. She just had her first visitor, Ella. Pleasant surprise and Ella made her perk up. All is well here and we appreciate your support. -Sara

Update

After some discussion with the doctor we all agreed to leave one ovary. We all feel comfortable with this decision. Robin is in surgery right now. I'll update you bloggers later.
