What's Up?

Here's a few updates from the past week....it's been a busy one! 

• Patom is coming home tomorrow, we hope.  He is having to stop and get a radiation treatment on the way home-bummer.  You know how good it is to be released from the hospital and all you want to do is go straight home, get a shower in your own bathroom, eat real food...etc.  His treatment won't take too long though.  We've missed having him home! 
• Our Relay team had our BBQ dinner Sat. night.  It was a HUGE success!  Yay! I had fun serving up the 400 desserts we made.  Seriously, we had a ton of desserts!  Our church family pitched in and helped us fill in the gaps-they are great!  I had panicked for nothing over the desserts. 
• I went with my friend Mary for her pre-op appointments for her surgery this upcoming week.  It's cancelled.  She's pregnant!  I got to know before even her hubby.  It was fun and it all went down on her b-day.  You could have knocked us over with a feather when the nurse told us.  I LOVE surprises when they are genuine surprises!!!  :-)  The twins will have another playmate to add to their little group of buddies sometime this fall. 
• We went to cousin Morgan's first birthday party today (Sunday).  It was fun.  However, the twins and cousin Morgan were a bit grouchy from not having naps.  Morgan was asleep when we left and the twins were FOUL.  :-)  It was a fun Mickey Mouse party-our family loves birthdays!  It's fun to celebrate a person and make them feel special.  Morgan is exactly 11 weeks younger than the twins and they are all so cute together.  I'm glad they get to grow up together. 
• Carson & Emilynn have been teething the past few weeks.  It's awful.  Honestly, teething is a BEAR in this house!  I would rather have sleepless nights or something else that people dread about having babies....nothing comes to mind right now.  But teething is bad.  It makes my kids grouchy and nothing makes them happy.  They just want to be held, but then they want to get down.....I don't know.  It's just hard.  Nothing soothes it, nothing makes them happy, you just have to wait it out.  They are proudly displaying several molars now!  They are starting to bite a bit more too.  My friend Nicole and her boyfriend watched the twins one night last week for Dustin & I to go to the hospital and Emilynn bit her boyfriend on the butt!  I don't know what she was thinking.....I guess it seemed like a good idea to a 14 month old.  I was embarrassed.  Anyway, she bit me on the ankle.  My child is literally an ankle biter-haha! 

Gotta run get some rest.....another busy week ahead with milk day tomorrow, taking Patom for treatments Tues. & Thurs., Bible study Tues., my sister Madison has surgery this week on Wed.-tonsils & adenoids being removed, meeting a friend for lunch, hoping to get a pedicure (have a gift certificate I've been hanging on to....waiting for warm weather), going to a Pampered Chef party......sounds like a lot.  I might need to cut out some stuff!  I'm tired just typing all of that and I probably forgot something.....and then there's the normal stuff like cooking, cleaning, washing the tons of laundry that seems to be piling up lately, trying to vacuum up the cheerios that get ground into the carpet almost daily.....washing dishes....I'm always washing dishes....no rest for the weary they say!
