Oh my,what a week! I am on the down hill slope of my busy month and I am ready to be back in my house. I write to you live from my sister and new brother in laws house as we are house/dog sitting for them this week. I have now been living out of a suitcase for six weeks now. I wear the same clothes through out the week, wash them on Saturday and repeat for the next week. I have this thing down to an organized science. I think I have found a new calling:)

I would love to share pictures but I am using my BIL computer and my camera is at my parent's house. You all will just have to come back and keep checking, soon I promise. My face cleared up just in time for the wedding. We had a scare and trip to the ER for Cooper. He had some spots of the ivy on his body and his eye began swelling so the doctor suggested going in for a shot. Cooper recovered very quickly and nothing spread other than where it first showed up. I was very grateful.

We did end up going home for four days leading up to the wedding. I couldn't take anymore. The stress level was at an all time high and I wanted to get away. We returned in time to help with the decorating and my mom and dad, me and Brian stayed up until after midnight after the rehearsal dinner finishing up all the details at the church. Crazy thing was that after the wedding/reception we had to take it all down for church the next morning. Luckily we finished taking it all down by ten o'clock the next night. Now the people who really need the vacation are still facing day to day blahness:)

The wedding went off perfectly. My brother performed the ceremony and I am just amazed at the natural talent he has at delivering his words. I was so impressed with him and proud at his gift he uses for God. We were all a bawling mess and yet my sister held it together. The reception was held outside at a friends house. Everything was beautiful and would have been even better if we only started two hours later. It was HOT! The saving grace was the inground pool that the kids got to swim in. Fun times that I am glad to see in the past!

Brian gets to stay with us all week and I am pumped! We have many plans to go places and things to do. This will be our little vacation too. July 4th is my second favorite "holiday" so I am glad we will all be together.

Cooper and Wyatt have been very attached lately. They enjoy each other's company and play with each other instead of just by one another. Cooper is such a little helper and wants to please us as much as possible. Wyatt is in the throws of "terrible twos" and has a high pitch scream that will shatter any eardrum. I have had to dust off my time out technique and put it back into practice and it seems to be working, a little at a time! He is definitely not a baby anymore:) I am glad to see how much the two of them get along. It is one reason I have enjoyed having them so close together. The sibling connection is not one to take for granted.

All five siblings are now married. Amy caught up to the rest of us. We are proud to add John to the family and think he will make a great member! Congrats!!!
