My dad, who is a hero, took Emma and Drewdie to the fair all by himself. All 3 had a ball. After they went back to Mimi and G-Daddy's to play.
Emma comes out and says, "Mimi, Drew is having a baby and can't get it out and I'm the doctor and don't know what to tell him". Mimi and G-Daddy advise Dr. Emma to tell Drew to "PUSH, PUSH".
A couple of minutes later Drew and Emma emerge from their room with 2 stuffed animals wrapped in a blanket and announced the birth of twins, Floppy and Teddy. Too funny!

Birthdays, Flu Shots, and Field Trips
I know it's been an incredibly long time since I've made a post, so here goes...
My sweet baby boy, Drewdie is turning 5! I catch myself wondering where in the world the last 5 years have gone and I'm constantly trying to figure out how to keep him a baby...I've just about given up. He is such a very special child and he cracks me up constantly with his Uncle Scott-like sense of humor. He's very quick witted and almost always on his toes.
BJ and I had a chance to play at a youth lock-in last weekend and a precious 17 year old boy played with us. The whole night I couldn't shake the thought that in 10 years that could be Devlan. This has rocked my world! In 2 years we will be half way through our time with this amazing boy. I know it is only by God's grace that I have the 2 most beautiful, smart, and sweet boys God ever made....
So our awesome pediatrician called on Monday to check up on Drewdie Poodie. We got into the conversation about flu shots....to vacinnate against H1N1 or not. Both boys now get the flu mist for the seasonal flu, but there have been many questions about the H1N1 thing. I trust our pediatrician, maybe even to a fault, but she's never steered us wrong before. I'm really more scared of the kids getting the H1N1 virus than any possible side affects from the shot. At some point I guess I think you have to trust the people you pay very good money to and ask the Lord to handle the rest.
I pride myself on being honest with my kids...like when Devlan pressed about where babies came out, we had a very detailed conversation about it. I want them to always feel like they can ask me anything and get a real answer, however, when it comes to shots I'm scared.
I don't like getting a surprise shot, so I really fee like I should let them know, but unfortunately Devlan Grey is mine through and through and by the time Saturday morning rolls around he will have an ulcer. Drew won't care so much, but I don't want him worried about a shot during his birthday party....these are the things I never imagined thinking about before children but as the boys grow older I find myself facing more and more of these delicate situations...now I'm seeing why my mom always said it gets harder as they get older! She also says that you're going to screw your kids up and even if you don't they're going to blame you anyway :)
Finally, I am going with Delvan on his school field trip to Old Salem. I've always wanted to go and never have, so I'm really excited (and yes this only confirms what a huge dork I am). The only issue I'm having is the bus ride. Everyone that knows me knows that I get horribly car sick. The fear of getting car sick only makes it worse giving me panic issues on top of it. I've decided that if anyone can get me through this fear, it's Devlan. I would do anything for him and even though I laughed at my mom when she went a spinning ride with Devlan (that she knew would make her sick) at the fair, she did it for him. I'm going to follow her example and take one for the team. I figure I'll take a Dramamine and pray alot! I hate being such a freak, but the Lord isn't done with yet!
