We've had a great couple of weeks! Tim, Laura, Grace, and Holden came Wednesday and we did some sightseeing and shopping and went to the circus on Friday night. It was such a late night, but Corban and Grace had a GREAT time! Saturday we got up and traveled back to Kentucky. It was a long day and I was absolutely exhausted when we got in, but the boys travelled very well, so I don't have any complaints. After Marilou's shower on Sunday, we were pretty much at Mom and Dad's house the whole week. The kids rode their tricycles in the garage, played in the dirt pile from where Mom and Dad are building the house, played in the creek, and rode the tractor. We also celebrated Mammaw's 90th birthday! It's actually not until this Saturday, but we took her out to dinner and had a cake while I was in. I did not get to see Sherry, Carter, Max, or Kerry while I was in though. I'm still sad about that, but they were sick and we just couldn't take the chance of catching anything before we had to travel back to PA. We're going back in May for Marilou's wedding, so we'll make sure to have a day then! We drove back to PA on Friday, just me and the boys. This is the first time I've made the trip completely by myself with both boys, but it was great!

Corban had some major potty issues while we were in KY. He kept having accidents the whole time we were in. He hasn't had an accident in MONTHS! I'm assuming it's because he wore pull-ups while we travelled and just got used to that, plus didn't want to stop playing in order to go to the bathroom. It's been some better while we've been home so I'm hoping he's over that now. We learned that Caden and Holden are pretty much the same weight - maybe a few pounds between them - and a whole year!

This week is going to be pretty crazy. We're having a Dinner and a Movie night at church, it's a community outreach event. Johnny and some others are putting up door hangers on Tuesday, we've already put up flyers around town. We're serving spaghetti and showing The Blind Side. I'm keeping the kids and am really trying to make it more than just occupying the kids while their parents are watching the movie, and I'm dreading it! Next weekend we've got a revival, complete with Art Bush concert (yes, Jeff's dad). Johnny's Mom and Dad are coming in for that, we've got to take snacks over for both nights after the revival, and food for a pot luck on Sunday, plus meals for all of us here at the house. Oh, and did I mention that's all over mine and Johnny's birthday? Yeah, I already feel that I'm getting old, and that's how I'm spending my 30th. Can we get any more "old lady entertainment" as I call it? Oh well, such is life. Not like we had any other big plans! I think the week after we'll go out for dinner and to watch Ironman 2.
