Many of you know that Dylan has been away from home for 5 weeks and Preston joined him the last 2 weeks. Well, they came home last night and my heart is filled with joy. They are truly the light of my life. They came with many stories to tell including the whereabouts of Preston's "nonnie" - the Winnie-the-Pooh blanket that was given to Dylan, before his birth, by his Aunt Tammie that Preston has slept with practically every night since he was just a few months old (he will be 4 in 2 weeks!). It seems as if it was left at a hotel in Branson, MO after a trip with their father. Now, all of you fathers are saying "what's the big deal?" and you mothers are saying "what the #&*%^@*#%!?" I am truly disappointed to say the least. I think the message I left on their fathers voicemail probably gets the point across.
The boys arrived last night around 5:30 pm. My MAGNIFICENT brother-in-law grilled steaks for us. It was such a joy to share last night with Leann and her family. Wait, did I say Leann? She was actually at the hospital helping babies "nipple" and, while that truly sounds exciting, I do believe that me & Jay had more fun eating dinner with 4 obnoxious children. Preston playing with his food. Kaylee burping. Dylan having a melt down after Kaylee spilled her Dr.Pepper on him. Hannah imitating her mother getting food stuck in her gastric band. FUN, I tell you !
Leann did get home in time for dessert- anyone surprised?
We spent a little more time there before our trek home (down the street). Leann ask me to talk with boys about flash flooding before bed, due to all the rain. So, once we were settled for bed - my bed, of course - I began what I thought would be a simple conversation. Fast forward 45 minutes. Dylan wants to move because he doesn't want water to get in our house. Preston just wants to ask God for it to rain a little bit, but not a lot. We of course need to talk about Noah and how we don't need to build an ark. How that the creek behind our house WILL go down after it stops raining. We have to talk about the children that have drown due to the storms and AGAIN what we will do when the water does get into our house.
Thank you, Auntie.

I love your posts...I laugh out loud! We were so blessed to be with the boys on the 4th and we missed you, but we are praying that your arm is doing better! We were looking at the old 4th videos - you know, back in all our "fen-fen" days? Anyway, Dylan saw Auntie first and said, "what is wrong with Auntie's hair!" (remember the long permed curls?). Then he saw you and he said, "is that my mom?" We told her yes...that is what we all looked like before children! Anyway, he said "my mom is hot!" That's a whole other post...
Hugs!
