Great list Em - I mean Emily. :) I am going to have to talk to you about that last one. It sounds like a good story.

Congrats on the baby! How exciting. And yes! We all want to hear about bigfoot!!

The sun oven I bought is a Global Sun Oven. I bought it through the following link: http://www.yardandpool.com/search.php?mode=search&sort=title&sort_direction=0 With shipping it was about $235 -- cheapest on-line. I saw the same unit for as much as $289. We LOVE it. Several days were only 37 degrees, and yet the oven temp was a toasty 320 degrees inside.
