On Monday night we all went to the Rodeo. It was so fun Parker got to ride a cow, hold a baby chick, pet goats and lambs and go on all sorts of rides. He had a blast, all the tractor dealers in San Antonio had booths and tractors out on display so he was in heaven, I think he sat on every tractor we passed, and he insisted on wearing his John Deere hat to the Rodeo. He was so cute. Then we hit the fair grounds and he went on a ride with the rest of the kids, you couldn't reallly tell if he liked it while he was riding, but when he got of he said with wide eyes "Dat so fun, gain mom!". So he hit up all the rides he was tall enough for with his best bud Aniston, they had so much fun and were so cute. We all had a great time, but Craig couldn't come because of his leg, he didn't want to ride around in a wheel chair. So next year i'm sure will be even better. Hope you all are well Love Nat.



Well today we slaughtered our pigs, Craig was not able to help. He was not pleased about being stuck on the couch during all of that. They are definantley bigger than last years pigs, tommorow we will process them (make chops, sausage and bacon). That's always a icky job, but kinda interesting, Craig can participate in that, it involves a lot of sittig and cutting. Craig had surgery on Wed. it went well and he is now on the road to recovery, he'll get a cast next Wed. and then in 3weeks switch to a walking boot for another 3-4 weeks. He's a little worried about his leg losing a lot of muscle, but I know he'll get it back soon. We also found out on Wed. that we have lost another pregnancy, this is the fourth. I will be going to see a Infertility Specialist soon, although i'm not infertile, I just can't keep them alive past 9 weeks.So hopefully we will find some answers with this new doctor, they are going to do some new blood tests, and a uterine work up where they put dye in the uterus and look for any abnormalities. That ought to be real fun, but if it gets us answers i'll be more than happy to do it. We are just praying that we will find a solution, if not we will just put our faith in the Lord and whatever happens it's his plan and he knows best. Hope you are all doing well Love Nat
Yesterday at church basketball Craig broke his ankle, he went up and blocked a shot and when he came down he landed on someones foot. He fracutred the two bones that meet at the head of the ankle bone. He is doing okay today, although he's heavily medicated. He will go in on Monday for surgery and they will put a plate and some screws in his leg. So not the most fun weekend news, we have decided no more church basketball though. We'll let you know how things go. Love Nat
It is so cold today, it is only 30 degrees, and it's sleeting. This winter weather has shut down San Antonio, Craig didn't have to go into work today, and it is too icy to go anywhere. It seems kinda funny to a Canandian, but down here this is bad no one knows how to drive on ice. Well we finally decided to start our own blog, so hopefully i'll actually get some pictures up.Love the cold, icy Hardins
