My Dad

There were a few men that came by to visit with him before went back for his procedure.
They had him laughing.... which was a good thing but he was pretty nervous!



This was after he came back. He slept a lot! I actually got to feed him. It was funny b/c he doesn't like green veggies so I kept sneaking in bites of broccoli.



I made him walk the halls!! The doctor said he wanted him up and moving a lot but my dad took that as "the doctor said I only had to walk down the hall once." We all wanted to know that everything was okay before we let my mom take him home... esp after the fright with the leg.



He's doing better now. He seems to be eating better. He can't officially exercise for another week or so but he plans to start walking with my mom in the mornings.

Weekend Recap

~ Purse Party ~
My purse party was awesome!!! I had 9 people there and all of them bought something!!!! I've got 2 people that I sent a catalog too. So far I'm up to $85 in FREE stuff! And then there's 3 items that I get 1/2 off!!! whooo hooo!
It was a nasty day and I was worried but we all had a really good time.
~ Sick kids ~
The boys are fine. Darcy spent the night with my mom friday night. She ran a fever all night long. Saturday Matthew took the kids to his parents house during the purse party. Darcy threw up on the way there! Pray it only last as long as the boys did... 2 days!
~ Tropical Storm Fay ~
Yesterday was sooooo messy. Jessica and I were supposed to go to En Fuego after the purse party but we got a call saying it was sooo messy and that hardly anyone was there and that the vendors were packing up! The event is rain or shine unless dangerous weather... no danger just RAIN! We stayed home and watched the olympics then we watched National Treasure 2. It was really good. Some tree limbs in our neighbors yard fell... some extremely close to my barn!
~ My dad ~
He's doing fine. His leg is healing up from where they went in. He's argueing with my momma over what he can and can't eat. He's really having a hard time with his new diet. Pray for him AND my momma!
Thats all for now! My hubby let me sleep till almost 10 o'clock today! YIPPEE! That was a first in a really looooong time!

Purse Party!

Okay so I agreed to do a purse party for a friend. I've been preparing people for this party for weeks... I sent out a email to save the date. Then I sent REAL postcards to people. I then followed up with an email to ask who was coming.... A FEW people have responded but others have just ignored me. I don't get it. Whats the big deal with just simply sending an email back saying "can't make it"!!!!
Just incase you're reading this and you didn't get an invite -
YOU'RE INVITED!!!!
Its tomorrow morning at 11am - My house!
There's way more stuff than just purses but please come and visit with me!!!!!

TIRED

My dad is OKAY! He did NOT have any blockages... no stints needed. His blood pressure is EXTREMELY HIGH and they've changed up all his medicine. He has to follow a diet... good luck with that one! He was about to be released around 5ish but when he started getting dressed he has severe pain in his leg (the leg they went in through) so they made him stay another 90 minutes... I think they FINALLY let him go something after 7pm! My sister and I came home around 6ish.

pray... matthew called to tell me that both boys were sick with fevers and they HE hadn't felt good all day.

My dad

Today is the day that he's having the arteriorgram done at St. Vincents.
I'm actually about to leave for the hospital.
Keep him in your prayers!

My boys

Matthew and I have been a little concerned over Jeremiah's communications skills. We, through our doctor, had him evaluated with Alabama's Early Intervention System. They came out to our house yesterday and did a series of things with Jeremiah. They don't score them on an actual number but rather on what age level they are at.

Turns out Jeremiah has a language delay. Nothing too scary to worry about but definitely something we are going to get him help with. The EIS actually has someone who will come out to house 2x a month to do speech therapy with him. Once he turns 3 then the public school system will work with him to get him into programs if needed. This is not something he'll need the rest of his life but something he needs now to 'catch up' to where he needs to be.

They're also going to schedule him an appointment to have his hearing tested... not just the tympanogram test they do in the doctors office but a test that will actually test his tones. He cuts off parts of the words so it could be because he's not hearing them.

Matthew took off work to be here yesterday for the evaluation. We had all the little ones here actually. And at the end of the meeting I made a comment about how I'd always just thought b/c they were twins thats why they're a little behind. Well the lady was surprised that they were twins and said she thought Jeremiah was a year older than Jacob! She said the twin thing doesn't apply once they're over the age of 18 months. She said that Jacob needed to be evaluated too b/c he was a bit behind as well. So now we've got another appointment for Jacob.

The doctor and both the lady for Early Interventions stressed that we need to get our kids around other kids and we need to expose them to more outside things so they can learn how to cope and socialize. So we're looking into different options.

Now let me just say this... I nor Matthew are looking for any labels for our kids. I don't want someone to say they're something just for the sake of giving my child a label. However, being told your child has a language delay is not the such a bad thing. BECAUSE they're going to get speech therapy and that will really do wonders for them. I'm excited about the services that will be provided to them.

Prayers

My friend from highschool sent out a bulletin on myspace just now. She has a baby that's a few months old. About a month ago her mother passed away... she had alzheimer's. She was fairly young. Sunday night her dad had a massive heart attack and died. Please pray for her and her family. I can't imagine loosing both of my parents so close together and also at such a young age!!! She's an only child and from I knew about her in highschool her extended family wasn't that close.
