a few updates!

Sorry that I haven't posted in a while.  Of course, there is always drama in our household. It is now to be expected.  

Gareth did get home from England safely.  He had a wonderful time and my mother-n-law had a wonderful birthday!!

While Gareth was gone, I posted that Alex hurt her foot.  I am not sure if I mentioned my car breaking down, although now that I think about it, I think I did.  Anyway, friends were gracious enough to fix it for me.  My friend K's husband was going out of town a day later, so we said that we would be sure to look after her and the kids while he was gone.  Well, on Thursday, her daughter ended up having to go to Children's hospital  b/c of an allergic reaction to medicine.(It was awful!!!)   Long story short, Gareth kept her older 2 and we headed in to the city.  I stayed with them until about 3:30 that morning, and once we knew she was being admitted, I headed home in my friends car.  While driving home, I ended up with a flat.  Well, Gareth had 5 kids at home, so I wasn't about to have him wake the kids up to come change a tire, and I wasn't sure who to call at 4am, so we called AAA.   2 HOURS LATER, they were there to change the tire.  What drama!!!!!  Now it is funny and thank the Lord, K's daughter is now home and healing, but I will say that you must always remember that if you are friends with us, there will prob. always be drama involved:0)

We have headed in to spring break, and today I(my mom and friend Peggy) took the kids to get their teeth cleaned by Peggy's daughter who is in dental school.  They did great, but it has been a very long day.   I am not sure what we have planned for the rest of the week, but I am sure that I will update you soon.   I do know that I am ready for some warm weather!!!
