I haven't posted in a while because of all that is going on with my dad and I haven't had much time to myself with Wesley being out of town. After 4 weeks of being in and out of the hospital my dad is doing better. Just a run down on the last 5 weeks...Wesley left town (Shreveport) on the 15th of June for one month, my dad went into the hospital(ICU) on June 18th with sepsis due to E-coli in his prostate...on the 16th he had a prostate biopsy and when they cut the prostate it released the e-coli into his body. He was in the hospital for 9 days, got to go home on IV antibiotics for 10 days, got released by 1 doctor on Monday, the other on Wednesday and on that Wednesday night was back in the ER with 2 kidney stones. After a Lipotripsy on Thursday afternoon, they released my dad to go home on Friday morning. By Friday afternoon he was again having severe pain and fever. That is when we decided the best care for him was in Jackson. Thanks to one of my sweet doctor friends everything was set up for him by the time he got to Jackson. Since Friday the 10th he has had 2 more surgeries to remove kidney stones and was finally able to come home on the 17th! He still has one more surgery to go--in a few weeks he'll have surgery on his prostate...we are still praying for a miracle that he won't have to have it.
In the middle of all of that me and the babies have been on the road back and forth to Soso and Hattiesburg, went to Shreveport for a few days before the 4th and my parents came here for the 4th...IV antibiotics and all! I have had lots of help from family and friends to prevent me from feeling like a single parent and to get in a nap here and there.
And with everything else going on I had to stop in the middle of that and have an endoscopy done (for my reflux issues)...Jennifer and Ollie took me to the doctor and drove my loopy self home(I think I talked her ear off!)I did get some good rest that day! After leaving Aunt Lani with the twins for about 6 hours I think she decided she doesn't want any!!(at least not 2 at one time HA HA!!) They wore her out! They wear me out everyday I am just used to it! 
Wesley did get to come home the weekend of the 10th and the babies wore him out too! He napped when they napped. He'll continue to work out of town a few days a week, but anything is better than only seeing him 3 times in 4 weeks! His babies missed him so much. I have the sweetest video of Sara Beth giving a picture of Wesley a kiss. One day when I have time I'll post it...along with more videos and pics!
Last week Daddy Day and Gran came for a visit and to help with the babies while I was at the hospital with my dad and Wesley worked. The babies kept them quite busy and entertained!
This past weekend we went to Birmingham and Atlanta...a whirl wind trip! We stopped at the Coulson's new house to let the babies burn off some steam(this was the worst road trip we have EVER had. The babies screamed 85% of the time...they slept the other 15%. So playing hard with Maury and Carter's "new" toys was just what they needed. Of course I didn't have my camera but those kids are so precious and growing soooo fast!
Saturday we went to my sweet Katie's wedding. Katie Madden Saunders is like my little sister. As she says I "paved the way" for her. We went to high school together, both were Golden Girls (dance team), both were captains of the dance team a few years apart, both went to MS State, both were DG's at State...you get the idea. I've always called her "my sweet Katie." She and Harris got married at the Botanical Gardens in B'ham. Again I didn't have my camera, but she looked beautiful, she had a gorgeous dress and it was a "Katie" wedding...simple yet elegant. We were glad we got to be a part of it!
As for the rest of the weekend that will have to be the next post...this one is way too long!
