Catch Up Soon

We have been in UT for a week now and it has been crazy. I have a lot of catching up to do but it is going to have to wait. Things have been pretty stressful with my family lately as my older sister Felicity contracted swine flu coupled with pneumonia and was eventually placed in a medicinally induced coma and placed on a ventilator. After three days they thought it would be safe to wake her up and this afternoon she did and seems to be doing alright... she will still be in the hospital for a while but it is nice to have her be able to say a few words. Since I am obviously not allowed anywhere near the hospital we have been trying to keep busy and the boys have been having a lot of fun with their "friends" as Sam loves calling his cousins. I was also introduced today to the amazing world of a Feis (pronounced "fesh") or Irish dance competition. My little sister Claire has been dancing for 13 years and finally decided to compete so we went to scope out the competition :) It was so fun to see the array of costumes and the tiny little kids dancing. As I said pictures will eventually follow when I find a second between waddling after the boys, downing water and resting :0) Five more weeks!

I am so sorry about your sister! I am glad she is doing better.

I hope it's a quick 5 weeks and no more! Don't do what I did and go over.

It sounds like things have been super stressful. I hope that everything is going better and you can relax a little before the baby comes. Let me know if you need any help. I know you have tons of family here but I could watch the boys or something to give everyone a break. Good luck making it through the heat! I had an August baby and it was brutal.
