June "Joy"...


We had two joyous occassions in June. One was Jeremy's birthday. The girls wanted all 37 candles on the cake...hence, all the "smoke"! The other was the dance recital that the girls were in.

The rest of the month went DOWNHILL. Parker and Allison decided to jump on mom and dad's bed, ending with Jeremy rushing Parker to the pediatrician and then to the ER to staple a very, very large gash in his head AND Sarah rushing Allison to the ped. dentist (on his day off) to try to fix a broken off top, front permament front tooth. We will be seeing $$$ for the rest of her life. If it had only ended there...

Sarah had a terrible, terrible case of the flu. Which she passed on to the babysitter from the night before and on to the rest of the babysitters family. She also passed it on to Jeremy. And, if it had only ended there, too...

The babysitter had been watching the kids so that Sarah could go up with Jeremy to catch a sale at Jos. A Banks. The suit needed in Jeremy's size arrived a few days later. The whole family went over to the store, on St. Simon's Island, so Jeremy could have it fitted and to eat some ice cream. After leaving in the store, they all got back into the car and found that it would not start, nor even turn over. It was completely dead. While waiting for a tow truck, some gracious friends of theirs from the neighborhood behind the store, came to give the van a jump, which it would not hold. They lent Sarah their Jeep Cherokee so that more hours would not be spent also securing a rental vehicle that night. The plan was to drive it home and return it to them in the morning. While on the way home, Sarah was sitting at a light, and was completely rear-ended in their vehicle by a person that was not driving their vehicle either, nor had a license.

There's always something going on at our house!
