So much going on

We have had a jam packed week. As you know, last week was nothing short of toddler hell as we cared for the twins and their sicknesses. Thursday was great, though, and we ate a lot and laughed a lot. My friend Melyssa was here with us for Thanksgiving which made it even more special and fun. Then I called some neighbors to come over for dessert and they did, bringing the women to men ratio 10 to 1. Yes, you read that right. Poor Ian. He made the turkey outside and sat out there most of the morning getting his "man" on, and then after lunch I finally told him to just go watch football and snooze, which he did willingly and enthusiastically. He hung in there, but there's only so much a poor guy can take. Frankly some days I wish I could have a boys night out. There's just a lot of females round here these days.
On Friday the twins were better but still puny so Ian and Sandy stayed here while I went to Orlando with my side of the family. It was a total trip. I realized in the car on the way there that I hadn't left my house for a week and a half, except to go to the store and to Maggie's school. I told my mom that I felt like Ian gave me a "get out of jail free" card by letting me go one day before the he and the twins showed up.

The place we stayed was perfect and it was a blast to be with my three of my siblings, nieces, nephews and parents. My cousin Caroline came too and we had a great time. Here are some pics...





















Gotta run. My sweet hubby just got home and I want to hang out with him a bit. Our 8 year anniversary is next week. Yippee! I know that's not that long, but we have been through a LOT in 8 years so we're gonna celebrate.
