Wow...so much has happened since the last time I blogged, it's incredible! I guess it serves me right for letting everything pile up for so many days without writing. I can't be too hard on myself though, it's not like there's been a lot of time to do this!
OK, first, I've managed to move Shanna and Kyle up here from Sarasota, along with most of their stuff, and they've moved in my house along with Ian and Krystal. There are still boxes everywhere, but it's getting there. Since I've had to work, Krystal's been great about running Shanna and Kyle everywhere so they could get registered for all the stuff they've needed to do. The only thing left is school, and we're waiting on Social Security cards to arrive so they can do that. In the meantime, they will probably have to wait until after the Holidays to get registered, because it's right at exam time now, and they have to go to the school board to get registered. Everywhere you turn, it's nothing but red tape!
Yesterday was Shanna's first Dr. appt. She went with Krystal, and they're both using the same Dr., so it's very convenient, thank God. Both got ultrasounds. Krystal's baby is sitting breech, and is down so low in her pelvis that...you guessed it...they can't see what it is. So many ultrasounds, so little info. This baby is trying to be as mysterious as her Daddy thinks he is! 
But all still seems to be well, and she is now in her 30th week.
Shanna also got an ultrasound, and got lots of pics of her little tadpole, which came out very clear, complete with flippers and everything! So incredible...I'd have given anything to have seen what my babies looked like! Of course, it's waaay too early to determine the sex, but so far, so good. They did back up the due date, though, to July 21st, so she's in her 9th week now.
This week has been very rocky in other ways, too. We had a problem with lighting the pilot light on the water heater, so they went a week with no hot water. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the sewer lines backed up, so we had to get that fixed. It could have been so bad, but God was with us, and with a little help from our friends, we got by with no bloodshed, and very little money spent! For that alone, I am profoundly thankful for the Angels God sends to take care of us. But can I tell you how my boys rose to the occasion? I have never, ever been so proud, and that's saying a lot! Thank you, boys, for all your help. I love you!
This weekend, Shanna and I will be heading south, while everybody else tries to finish settling in, unpacking boxes, etc. And next week, we'll be planning to merge our trip to see Tex next weekend with shooting farther south to Sarasota so they can see Kyle's parents on Christmas eve and get the rest of their stuff while they're down there (including their bed, much to Shanna's relief...her back's killing her from sleeping on an air mattress on the floor!). Then it's back to Baxley to spend Christmas day with Dad!
