Ahhh....sunshine!

I don't want to get my hopes up too soon, but yesterday was 85 degrees! We went to a car show yesterday in Pleasanton and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!!! It was even warm enough for me to have worn shorts, but the world is not ready for these WHITE (think transparent) legs to make an appearance. Hooray for Tan-in-a-can!
You know what's funny, I think the time when I had the best tan is when I lived in Idaho. (serious) During those long winter months when the sun was just a big "light in the sky" tanning was my way to thoroughly warm up. But now I'm more concerned with avoiding skin cancer than with a glowing tan.
I can't wait until it's warm enough to be outside at night and it's still 80 degrees!
I can't wait until I can cruise down the road with all the windows open!
I can't wait until the lake is warm enough to break out the SeaDoos!
I can't wait until the neighborhood smells like one giant bar-be-que every night!

I have a request.....

First- let me give a little background:
Curtis and I have been married since 2002. We have wanted to have children, but it's just not happening. It's been a very stressful and heartbreaking ordeal that no one can completly understand except those in our situation. I want to make very clear that those in my famlily and circle of friends who do have children absolutley deserve them, are wonderful parents and I am nothing but happy for all of them.

I don't know how many of you have heard of the woman in Southern California who just gave birth to 8 babies. While I don't know all of the details here is what I do know:
She is not married.
She lives with her parents.
She already has 6 children under the age of 6.
She does not work, and is on disability.
She has already asked for a $2 million T.V. deal (similar to "John and Kate plus 8')
She will support her children by being on welfare.

My first question- How did she afford in-vitro? It is VERY expensive.
Secondly- what doctor in his right mind would implant that many embryos (6)
and do so knowing she has NO SUPPORT SYSTEM (except the California Tax Payers)
and lastly- how are all 14 children going to get the individual attention and care that they will need to grow up strong and stable?

This is my request-
Please do not support this convoluted woman by watching any of her T.V. interviews or specials. And don't feel the need to donate to any of her "funds" becuase the California Taxpayers will be doing plenty of that for her. And please feel free to share my message with anyone who askes "did you hear about that woman that had 8 babies?!"

Ella Rose and Auntie Amy




Ella is growing so fast! She's already out of her newborn clothes and well into the 3 month old clothes (which is fine for me, because everytime I go to Target I always find cute outfits for her! Kevin, Carina and Ella came over the other day for a visit. We had good time, I held her as much as I could- giving her back to Carina only to change her or when I was trying to eat! All of our critters took turns checking her out- they wanted to see what is was that was taking all of our attention away from them!
