This week has been a strange week. I feel like I have lived through 4 weeks in one!!! Over the weekend, Nathan went to the emergency room when he went into convulsions from a febrile seizure. He was admitted to the hospital when they couldn't get any fluid from a spinal tap- for further observation. Nathan remained in the hospital on Monday and Tuesday. We went up to the hospital to visit him on Monday and bring some things for Esther. Then, we went to visit Grandma Leslie. We headed back home to beat rush hour. Rachel stayed home from work that day, so Josh and Rebekah weren't with us. On Tuesday, we went to Aunt Janet's house to play in her pool, and that was a full day adventure... On Wednesday, all of the kids were back to our house (all 5) and Rachel, too. Rachel had gotten locked out of her house, so we all spent the day together. We tried to go to the water park, but for some reason it wasn't on at all... There was no water and no people... Hmmmmmmmm... So, we returned back to our home area and went to a pool close by instead. Thursday was an almost normal day... except not quite. I think there was some confusion on who was supposed to pick up the kids... But, today was normal. And thank goodness it is Friday!! You would think I would be rested because of the week I had, but it just threw me off. Plus, Grandma Leslie was supposed to visit, and she didn't get a chance... So, that was kind of sad. It is always fun to have her here during the week. The kids love spending time with her, and so do I :0) We usually do something fun with her (like go on a field trip).
Next week should be a normal one... I hope!
Jaden had a great party! Lots of friends, family, food, and fun!!! Daddy cooked hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill. Grandma Leslie made a chocolate princess cake. There were games and crafts that everyone did (including some of the adults). The kids played "put the crown on the princess" (like pin the tail on the donkey), made foam princesses, picture frames, and tiaras. 
Where is Uncle Kevin when you need a magician? Grandma Leslie came over, and after awhile, we all headed to see a magician who was also supposed to be funny... I missed the humor somehow. Even the magic wasn't so magic, but it was something for the kids. I think they liked the popcorn best. If you were to ask them how they like the show, they probably wouldn't know what you were talking about :0) It was packed with people, and they had to turn people away, so you would think that it must be good... Hmmmmmmmm... Maybe next week will be better. It will be about music, so that may keep their attention more.

We have been swimming, and swimming, and swimming (as you can see). It has kept us busy for the past couple of days. Jaden is not sure of the water... Morgan doesn't have any fear of it at all. Luckily, they will both be taking swimming lessons starting next week :0)
Josh turned two on May 18th!! Yay!! The day before his big day, we celebrated at his house with BBQ, cake, and friends. For a month, Rebekah and Josh get to both say they are 2 years old... It takes a tough mommy to have babies born less than a year a part!!!
