Well, the Taylor's have survived 4 months with the twins and things are going well. We were doing pretty well with a schedule for everyone until we took our cross-country trip to WV. It was a wild ride, but worth it. We had a great time! But readjusting to "normal" life is taking some time.
I do want to take a few moments and share some of our trip highlights.
I was a little nervous about the success of our trip when the night before we were to leave, I got a flat tire. So instead of leaving at 5 a.m. as planned, we did not get started until 10 a.m. The blessings in that were I found the flat in my church parking lot with wonderful friends to help change it and watch the kids. Also with the late start, we stopped short of our intended destination which was hit that night with tornadoes-hhhmmmmm.
The next day our DVD system broke so we stopped to get another one (necessity) which put us behind again, so we did not make it to Nashville. That night Nashville was hit with tornadoes and killed nine people-dodged the bullet again.
Then on the third day (yes, I said third day) we were about 200 yards shy of being hit by a car that lost control on the 4 lane and hit the wall and spun around. Eric and I both prayed and thanked God for his blessings of protection disguised as delays in our trip that were annoying at the time.
While in WV, luckily things were pretty uneventful in the car. We enjoyed Easter with the family. The boys received way too much candy from all the baskets they got from the grandparents. My sister and brother were both able to meet and hang out with the twins which was great! We got to visit with old friends and family that we do not get to see that often. We also had a blast at my brother's wedding where my boys were dancing fools!
April also marked the date for my eldest turning 6. Jacob is turning into quite the little man.I can't believe how fast the time has passed! On his birthday, we had his party in the park with a big-bouncy moonwalk. The party was at 5:30 and at 4:30 it started to rain. Of course I was getting worked up and upset by the rain. I was reminded quickly by my son to get myself in check. He said, "Don't worry Mommy. God is just trying to give me a rainbow for my birthday." The party was a huge success and yes, it did rain and the kids loved it! Oh well.
Thanks for checking in on us and keeping us in your prayers. Hope you enjoy the pics. I have more on my facebook page if you want to check them out.
