Janessa's party was CRAZY on friday. Eleven 7-8 yr. olds + one adult = madness. Yup you got that right. From 6-9 we had 11 kids at the house. They made sundaes, picture frames, had dance-offs. It was fun but certainly crazy. The kids went to bed at 11 pm and were up at the crack of dawn. It was nice to see Janessa reconnect with her good friends. She wore a birthday crown and a sash. I will tell you that this has been the longest birthday in history. Thank god they are only once a yr.

Poor Janessa has been sick all day today. Problem runned down from all the excitement. She is complaining of a soar throat and very lethargic today. She will probably go to the drs. tomorrow, hopefully just a 24 hr bug.

The boys have been feeling good. Isaiah is just in a great mood as always, and then there is Avery. He is soooo spoiled. He wants to be held 24/7. I think it was from being in the hospital for so long and getting so much one-2-one attention. He is so darn cute and off he just bats those looong eyelashes and those big teeth. It is hard for mommy to resist. But he gives the nurses such a hard time.

Speaking of nurses, I had trained a new nurse to work nights last week. We were so excited about getting some extra help. Well she called yesterday saying she could not do it b/c my boys were much to complex for her. That just so saddens me. To know and realize that they are that sick. Maybe I am in denial. I just hate hearing things like that b/c it is a big slap to reality.

positive thinking;

I am happy Janessa had such a good time at her party

It was good for some of my good friends to come visit my new home

Almost 2 weeks and no hospitals, we are on a roll.

Can't really think of many more for right now.

Praying for all the families that are enduring any illnesses with their children
