Mission completed successfully!

After an easy trip down but an arduous trip back, we are finally safe and sound at home with the boys! Steven went with us so he could see his sister for the first time in a few years, meet her boyfriend and of course his new nephew. I didn’t realize it but Dennis had figured out that he would be staying down there with them. He wouldn’t admit to it but when the suitcase went in the trunk for an overnight trip… Supposedly he is only staying for a week and then will take a bus home. He did check out bus prices online so hopefully he is coming back soon, and I can’t really blame him for wanting to visit his sister again. I just get nervous when he springs these things on us, especially when he is trying to get everything set to go into the army. Oh well, nothing’s written in stone, especially with this motley crew! lol. We got some wonderful pictures of the kids here. I know, I still need to show you our spa-like bathroom. Oh! We got great feedback on that! FireFaerie and her honey stayed the night to take care of Jasmine for us and once they got in that shower, they decided NOT to take the townhouse they had FINALLY settled on. Why? Because they couldn’t put up with that crappy bathroom after using our new one! LOLOL! I never thought I’d hear anything like that about this house!

Ok…here are some pics!

This is a picture of 2/3 of our kids (4 out of 6).

Stephanie’s little family.
They are doing wonderfully despite the fact that they are so young and had just started dating when she got pregnant. They have just been able to move into their own place and both are working. His parents have been alot of help to them. They lived with them while she was pregnant and gave them the land to put a a mobile home on, plus they own a store that Stephanie works at. I know I keep saying it, but the transformation in this child is absolutely phenomenal! I guess she just wanted her own little family to belong to. I am a happy mom seeing her so happy! And happy parents make for happy kids…this little guy of theirs is one little cutie that has a perpetual grin on!

Making Pepere Dennis proud showing his Red Sox colors!
He’s soooo cute and cuddly isn’t he???

Here he is meeting his Uncle Steven

and checking him out a little closer….

Well, I hear the boys moving around and I promised them pancakes this morning so I should run. Dennis is working this week until Thursday so not much going on here except cleaning out Steven’s room and getting it set up for the boys instead. I’ll be back as soon as I get those pics of the bathroom!
