Have I mentioned that I stalk our house? I make sure that Jon and I drive by it at least once a week, usually twice, just to say hi and see what's new. I know, I'm completely crazy! Jon jokes that our neighbors will think I'm staking the neighborhood out to rob it, but I really don't care. It's fun to check in on it. We rode our bikes to it two weekends ago and actually met one of the trustee's of the house. She grew up in it and was able to tell us a lot about the neighborhood and the history of the house. It's so obvious that the house was well loved by their family and still is. She's been taking care of the yard the whole time it's been on the market!
We drove by it again this weekend and noticed that someone hung a Christmas wreath on our door and put a big red bow on our lamppost. I squealed like a little girl on Christmas morning over that! I'm sure it was the same woman we met who put them up, but it really made Jon and I feel special and welcomed!

I addressed and mailed all 71 of our Christmas cards this weekend. I was a little behind on sending them out this year because I couldn't decide on a photo to use and I was also waiting to design, order and receive our moving announcements to stuff along with them. There's no way I was going to send those out separately with the outrageous postal prices! I'm so happy with the way both our cards and our announcements turned out. Love Kodak Gallery!

We made our first batch of Christmas cookies this weekend! I'm not much of a cookie person (I prefer cake or cupcakes), but Jon loooooves cookies so he's always on me to bake them. This first batch was chocolate chip, but he's also requested molasses and oatmeal raisin cookies so I guess I'll be making those before Christmas arrives. We also got our first batch of snow this weekend so it really felt like the holidays around here!

Operation Bebe is in full effect. We're on cycle day 10 today and all of you Clomid ladies know how important that date is! (For those who are fortunate enough not to know, days 10-20 are the days you're supposed to ahem, "get it on".) Cross your fingers that I actually ovulate this time. As my doctor tells me, "If we can just get you to ovulate, I know you won't have a problem getting pregnant!" Let's hope she's right. One promising thing is that my cycle actually started spontaneously this time. I was just about to start my next round of Provera when it just showed up on it's own. Hooray for something working the way it's supposed to (though it was over 20 days late)! If we get pregnant this round, we could very well have an anniversary baby. And we thought that time of year was already crazy for us...our anniversary, baby's birthday?, my birthday and Jon's birthday all within 31 days of each other!
