Not as interesting now....

Now that we're back from Mexico, I don't have seem to have as many interesting things to write about on here. We got home about a week ago, and then Madelynn came down with a double ear infection (the yucky big pussy kind that requires antibiotics) a few days later. I think it may be related to her teething- they're just popping up all over the place. She's pretty much over the ear infection now, and is sleeping a lot better, and is currently napping as I write this.
Last Monday, we went around and looked at places available to rent and found a duplex that we like. It has pretty much everything we were hoping for- 3 bedrooms, garage, washer/dryer hookups, fenced backyard and newer vinyl windows, which believe me are a big deal when you've come from an apartment with old leaky aluminum windows. It's not so fun to wake up in the middle of the night with a soaked pillow because the window has accumulated so much moisture that it's running down the walls and in a puddle on the windowsill.
This past weekend, Nate and I also went rafting down the McKenzie with my dad, one of his former students at USU and her two daughters. It was so much fun, and made me happy that we decided to come home early so we could do things like that. We're hoping to take our tahiti kayaks out in a week or two down the McKenzie again. I actually feel more secure in those, even though they're a lot smaller and you get thrown around a lot more, mainly because you're hunkered down so low in them that it's a lot harder to get thrown out.
