Waiting For The Next Big Adventure

We are finally back home and have emerged from the piles of laundry and stacks of mail. We have recovered from the sickness that plagued our family through almost the entire FBS Family Tour. And now, we eagerly await our next big adventure on Monday, November 16, when we are scheduled for the transfer of our remaining frozen embryo's. I was so blessed yesterday to read these tremendous verses of encouragement in Psalms 34:4-5 -

"I sought the Lord and he answered me, 

and delivered me from all my fears.

Those who look to Him are radiant, 

and their faces shall never be ashamed."

I have begun the medical protocol and am currently taking daily injections in the stomach that serve to stop all ovarian production. I am also taking twice daily pills to increase estrogen. I passed my first ultrasound and lab tests last Wednesday, where they checked to make sure that everything is going properly. Assuming I pass another set of tests this week, I will then also begin the progesterone injections twice daily. We so much appreciate all the prayers and support that have been shown to us!

Though HUNDREDS of pictures were taken, here are a few behind-the-scenes highlights from our 10 day family ministry tour from Chicago to Indianapolis. 

Check out these pizzas from the kids menu at one fine restaurant we visited!!!Their arrival was followed by shouts of, "They really respect kids here."

Only two basic rules we insisted the kids follow at each church. 1.) No instruments and 2.) No baptisteries. They were getting dangerously close to their limits!

A visit to Legoland in Chicago proved to be one of the kids favorite adventures!
