The Hunt for Brown November

So this last weekend I headed up to the hunting cabin.  AKA Aunt Tammy and Uncle Todd's place.  We did pretty good on opening weekend this year.  Uncle Tom shot a nice 8 point buck, Uncle Todd shot a smaller buck and Ben shot 2 does.  Grandpa didn't see anything and I don't think my dad saw anything either.  I saw one on each day.  Couldn't get a shot on either of them though.  It seemed pretty darn cold this year.  I thought I had figured out the perfect combinations of socks and gloves to keep my feet and hands warm, but it didn't work this year!  It was cold.
Saturday we had some awesome lasagna with dessert made by Darlene.  It was all great.  It was Darlene's first attempt at a pecan pie.  She can definitely make it for me in the future!  Pecan is one of my faves.
Sunday after the Packer game we had to cut all of the deer up.  Made for a long day and long drive back home. Hadn't planned on doing it then, but oh well, what can you do.  On top of that I forgot to take my car in to have a tune-up done.  Rescheduled the appointment at least.
Excited to continue the hunt this next weekend.

Coming soon.....

The twins are coming soon!  As of right now Ju ly 15th is going to be their birthday.  We have scheduled the C-section.  Darlene is still really hoping that they will get head down and that she can experience labor.  She is a little bummed about the idea of a "scheduled" delivery.  I think it is just that part of us that wants to be able to tell out kids and others the story.  (So we were sitting around watching tv or at 3am I woke up and my water had broke so I told Jason to get ready and he stubbed his toe.... something like that I assume.)  I had read that sometimes when you play babies music in the womb is makes them move around and they end up with their head down.  So we have making play lists and Darlene has been laying down with headphones on her belly.  The twins tend to move quite a bit!  The other night one of them punched or kicked so hard the remote flew away!  It was amazing!  The twins actually have moved a little bit.  They are still transverse and the quar

Ahead of Time

So due to some staffing issues the twins will be here no later than July 14th now.  Apparently the doctors schedules were off so now it is all figured out. A c-section is surgery.  I don't think that many people realize that fact.  It can be serious.  I know Darlene is pretty nervous.  I get nervous also.  Since we have been together I have seen her go through 4 surgical procedures.  It doesn't get easier at all.  This time she will be awake, but I will be there right next to her.  I hope that I can keep her comforted with all of the stuff going on.  And of course we will be meeting our twins for the first time. I am excited to just spend time with them and bond.  Looking forward to see what features they got from which parent.  Very nervous but excited at the same time.  I will have the camera there with us and documenting things as they happen.  I just pray that everything goes well and Darlene and the babies are healthy.  Like I mentioned before, this is serious. I am s

There is a first time for everything!

We have been trying to start our family even before we were married in June.  We knew it would take some time, but even now we have no idea when that will happen!  Darlene has being going through a few treatments to help our chances at getting pregnant.  It is very exciting and very scary all at the same time. Because of us wanting to expand our family and because our home desperately needs it, we will be doing some more home renovations soon.  Before Darlene moved in I had redone the bedroom off of the living room.  Ripped everything out and put in all new electrical, insulation and even upgraded by running some cable TV and internet lines.  It has made a huge difference.  When it was Alyssa's room there was ice in the corner during the winter.  Now we roast in there! We plan on doing the same thing to the other bedroom now.  Prepping it to hopefully be our nursery. Then comes the bathroom.  That is a whole other story in itself! So...  Stay tuned for future updates!
