Life never seems to slow down here. I can't even remember everything that has happened to write it all down. I keep thinking eventually I'll have time to sit down and update this properly....and I just get further and further behind. Let's see if I can hit a few of the high points. Shai is now 8...and we are having her party this coming Saturday. On her birthday, Grandpa Calvin was admitted to OK Heart Hospital. He gave us quite a scare. My mom and dad stayed at the hospital nearly every night. Grandma never left Grandpa's side. The day after my birthday he went home. Mom, Clif and Lora went by to seem them today and said he looks amazing. ((Our God is awesome! ! !)) Shai was sick with a bug of some kind while Grandpa was in the hospital. Wil came and stayed with us for a couple of days, so that he could sit with the kids while Jade was at work and I went to the hospital to see Grandpa. And today I took Matt to the doctor with the same thing. UGH. He was running a fever of 102.3 at the doctors office. We've been house hunting as well. That is enough to frustrate a saint. We've found a couple of possibilities...but the commitment of buying another home.........ugh. This past weekend Jade and the kids rushed me to the ER. I was having the worst pain I've had since I was in labor....and there was no Demerol to help ease the pain this time! Of course, by the time we got to the Emergency Room, the pain had subsided and I was convinced we shouldn't have went. We stayed.....and come to find out....I have stones in my gall bladder. I'm surviving on Percoset right now. I go to my doctor tomorrow. We'll see what happens after that. My Mimi had the nerve block thingy put in her back today. I couldn't even go up there with her. Teresa and Papa took her. I'm not feeling well, my baby is sick, my other baby is looking forward to a grand birthday party that I have to somehow find the strength to prepare for....and I just keep getting further and further behind. I want to find me a cabin some where...away from the worries of the world and just hibernate for awhile. Physically I'm tired...but emotionally I'm struggling to keep up. Okay, now that I've whined for awhile...I have to share a funny story. As I said we have been house hunting. Hopefully this will be our last move....ever. We have moved 5 times since we've had kids. We are all ready for a HOME. Coming back from Mimi's and Papa's on Memorial Day we stopped by the Little Cemetery and visited the graves of my great grandparents and my great uncle. While we were talking on the way home, the subject turned to Heaven. One of the kids asked if we would have a house in Heaven. I told them that Jesus tells us that He has gone back to Heaven to prepare a house for us. Matt's next question sent Jade into gales of laughter...and left Matthew confused as to what he's said wrong. When you read this...keep in time how many times we've moved....how tired we ALL are of moving...and how many houses we have drug the kiddos to look at lately. Matthew asked us, "When we get to Heaven....will we have to move again?" The sweet boy.....he never did understand exactly why we lost it at that point!
