font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande'"> I woke up at 4 am on Sunday August 14 (13 days overdue). I went to the bathroom and noticed that I had lost my mucous plug. I went back to bed and fell asleep until 7pm while having regular contractions. Bear in mind that I had been having frequent contractions for weeks. I told David and he wanted to know if we should fill up the tub. I thought that breakfast was a more pressing issue. I called Nadya, my midwife, to let her know what was happening. She seemed convinced that I was going to have a baby that day, though I was not so sure. </p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande'"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande'"> The morning continued and so did the contractions. I told David that we should get some help with the children and the tub. He agreed and called his mother and Lauren. Lauren arrived to help with the tub shortly. Things were coming together but the contractions puttered out. Sam brought breakfast and David, Lauren and I ate and talked. After a while of not having contractions, Lauren and I decided to take a walk at Spring Grove while David put the boys down for naps. I am really thankful for the walk because it was cool and not too bright. It was nice to walk with a friend. During the walk, my midwife asked if I could stop by to listen to the baby's heart tones. We arrived at Nadya's house and he sounded good. We also discovered that he had moved from my right side to my left. I was so happy to hear that because most of the pregnancy he had been on my right side. I was however a bit bummed that the contractions had stopped. I was also not convinced that I was actually in labor though Nadya seemed to think that I was. After seeing Nadya, I went home to take a nap myself.</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande'"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande'">When I woke up from my nap, I noticed that I was having contractions again. David's mom came over to help with the boys. I stayed in my room and sat on the birth ball during contractions. I also would stand while holding David's hands during contractions. Nadya and Sora came around 3pm when the contractions seemed regular. Nadya kept checking the baby's heart tones regularly. Lauren also came back to help. At some point I decided to get in the shower. While in the shower, the contractions became more frequent and more intense. I would sway during contractions in the shower while praying for God to give me strength to endure them. I also sang praise songs and though my circumstances did not change, I can honestly say that I could feel God getting me through them. I decided to get into the birth tub to get some relief. When I got into the tub, I felt like I had to go to the bathroom. So, I headed back to the bathroom. As I sat on the toilet the contractions became even more intense. Nadya came in to help me through them. I felt lost and confused. Nadya assured me that these feelings were normal and that everything was ok. Nadya told me that she could see the baby's head and asked me if I wanted to stay where I was or go back to the birth tub. I decided to leave the bathroom and made my way awkwardly to the tub, again.</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande'"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande'">I thought that it would not be long for the baby to be born once I was in the tub. The midwives told me it was ok to push with the contractions. I was confused about pushing because the contractions were so intense that adding anything to them seemed unbearable. I tried a number of pushing positions but none seemed to really fit. I was hesitant to push because I really thought I might break in half. Nadya suggested touching the baby's head while I pushed, but I was reluctant. After a few more contractions I decided to try. As it turns out, the bag of waters was in front of the baby's head. I got a clearer picture of what I needed to do to push. After one effective push, the bag of waters broke. Nadya reminded me that things would feel differently now that the BOW was gone. The difference was incredible and the intensity increased noticeably. Each contraction I would look at Nadya and tell her how it was all too much. I turned from a squat to hands and knees position. I tried to push and it was too much so I said, "I can't do this" and quite literally attempted to jump out of the tub. Luckily, Nadya was in front of me preventing me from getting out of the tub. I got back in and very rapidly pushed his head out and then one shoulder and finally the rest of him. I took hold of him and to be honest, paid very little attention to him because of how overwhelming pushing was. We decided to get out of the tub to deliver the placenta.</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande'"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande'">I got out and laid on the bed and delivered a very large placenta. The midwives checked the placenta and while everything looked good they did note an area of interest* on the placenta to check out later. I held Phinn while the midwives rubbed my uterus down. Everything after that seems a bit fuzzy. Though, I do remember Sora weighing and measuring Phinn. We guessed how much we thought he weighed and she proclaimed, "10 lbs even" and 22 inches. His size explained a lot. Lauren got me an ice cream sandwich to celebrate and I was so happy to have him out. I could barely believe he was actually here.</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande'"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande'">I am grateful to Nadya, Sora, Lauren, David's mom and David for everything. It was the hardest birth yet and it was so vital to have a team to support and pray for me as I delivered Phinn. I also could really feel the presence of God during and after the birth. He showed me how to depend on His strength instead of my own and to throw myself on His mercy.</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande'; min-height: 13.0px"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande'; min-height: 13.0px"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande'">* A few days after Phinneas was born, Nadya came back to talk to David and I. She discovered what was in the placenta. She informed us, to our shock, that I had been pregnant with twins. The other twin had died at 12 weeks. We saw the tiny baby and were so surprised. Even the ultrasound had not detected the other little one. Since the birth, we have felt a large range of emotions; grief, joy, shock and loss to name a few. It is truly remarkable, how it is possible to love someone you never met and barely knew you had. We have named this little one Arrow. Initially, we had considered the name Arrow for an additional middle name for Phinn but when he was born, it didn't seem to fit. We chose the name from Psalm 127.</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande'; min-height: 13.0px"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px 'Lucida Grande';

I was in a sour mood but my friend Christine, who was my doula with Isaac, asked if I wanted to go with her to the children's museum. Trying to salvage the day, I agreed. David dropped Isaac and I off at the museum. Isaac and I had never been to that museum and it was very fun. The whole time, I just felt uncomfortable. I figured that the contractions were the same as the ones from the week before, which had not yielded a baby. Christine suggested that perhaps I was in labor, despite my cynical insistence that I was not. After we all finished lunch, David picked Isaac and I up. Now, I was not looking forward to the car ride and David knew it. Every time we hit a bump I would throw him an evil glance. He tried to comfort me by touching my leg, to which I replied "don't touch me". I should have known that something was happening but I chalked it up to me being 9 days overdue. When we arrived home, David put Isaac down for a nap. While he was upstairs, I felt like I had to walk around. So I paced around our downstairs and David observed that I was acting strangely. At this point, Isaac was crying and I decided to hang out in the dark and quiet downstairs bathroom. I turned on the shower and the fan for some soothing white noise and swayed as I had contractions. David suggested that I call my midwife who was at a class that day. I called and told her I would keep her posted. The contractions increased in frequency and strength. I kept drinking water and I told David that I didn't want a bunch of people gawking at me and that I didn't want to worry about the other two boys. So, David went to work procuring care for both Kadin and Isaac. He also talked to Lauren, who was going to be at the birth and contacted our midwife. He checked on me and asked if I wanted to move upstairs. I asked if it was dark and if there was noise. He said yes to both and we made our way slowly upstairs. I came into my room where the birth tub was being filled. It was dark and there was sounds of ocean waves playing. I should point out that this labor was very different from Isaac's. I could not sit down at any time for contractions. I also felt the urge to groan with contractions. Most of the time, I would hang from David and squat during the contractions. After a while, the tub was ready. Lauren went on an ice run to get it the perfect temperature. When my legs felt like they were going to fall off from not being able to sit down, I got in the tub. I was so grateful for that tub, I cried because it felt so good. I was in the tub when transition hit. I felt out of control and looked to Nadya for guidance and encouragement. She helped me breathe and focus. It felt so hard and I just wanted it to be over. Finally, I was ready to push. I made David get in the tub with me. Nadya was in front of me, helping me with each contraction. Another midwife was directing me how to push. Lauren was spoon feeding me applesauce and helping me drink water. It felt like eternity. Finally, his head came out and then the rest of him. I am not very sure what happened after that. All I know, is that my very mellow son was in my arms and my husband behind me and my placenta was floating in a bowl next to me. It was pretty intense. I felt very aware of everything, including my very sore rear end. I would say that active labor started at 2:00 pm and Levi was born at 6:31 pm. It was perfect timing because Isaac came home and went to bed at his normal bed time. It was as if we had a normal day and had a baby. I could go on and on about how wonderful the whole experience was. I loved being at home surrounded and supported by people I love and trust. I am so grateful for the care I have received before, during and after. I am so grateful for my son Levi Pax which means attached peace.sarah truehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03898985227849116831noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8271214727522061078.post-147483525084896712009-09-09T10:07:00.001-07:002009-09-09T10:12:31.873-07:0041 weeks<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXxuD5gdrZGMznwjOaTEUMkjQO9bInaX26OGn-fKOs_M96Vi0wd9-lwmYGDgKgGmzzHbW3gkeryo0sppN6gUaqvVXWSKSsoXACONEBbbad4DyD3jiqhmG2HLSalt-3OfM0AvOeevJ0-x4a/s1600-h/Photo+43.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXxuD5gdrZGMznwjOaTEUMkjQO9bInaX26OGn-fKOs_M96Vi0wd9-lwmYGDgKgGmzzHbW3gkeryo0sppN6gUaqvVXWSKSsoXACONEBbbad4DyD3jiqhmG2HLSalt-3OfM0AvOeevJ0-x4a/s200/Photo+43.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379515792419101922" border="0" /></a><br />I am still here and still pregnant. Something about this scenario seems strangely familiar. I went 9 days over with Isaac. I had been hoping to have a shorter experience this time around, which is still possible. Somehow, I wouldn't be surprised if I went even later with this one.

I asked my grandparents if they could send one to me for the birth. I still have my purple unicorn quilt my grandma made me when I was little. Instead of sending a quilt, my grandma designed and made one just for the baby! She is an overachiever :) We love it. Isaac keeps curling up with it while saying "night night".

My birth supplies fit into a plastic container. There are a few things missing. For example, I am currently washing towels which will be packaged up and tossed in there as well. Obviously, the birth tub is not in there, but the liner is. But, I am pretty sure most things will fit into this container. It only took me 38 weeks to get it together.sarah truehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03898985227849116831noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8271214727522061078.post-51991131119753056392009-08-04T20:12:00.000-07:002009-08-04T20:21:29.788-07:00Belly Pics<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSfcY-c6S26CeCtPjoDsj_AsYSCzbyfdfLM7qbCd6jS_zqDjPxOsmeMupaFbjuJ0VIqR5kt8bR7ZSmQBb3vAsmc_uJymS-CFMwMoQjkW31QlOLXlWFwQoKeANzNrEwjRzGQEJIi5eqB3mC/s1600-h/sheena+and+me"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSfcY-c6S26CeCtPjoDsj_AsYSCzbyfdfLM7qbCd6jS_zqDjPxOsmeMupaFbjuJ0VIqR5kt8bR7ZSmQBb3vAsmc_uJymS-CFMwMoQjkW31QlOLXlWFwQoKeANzNrEwjRzGQEJIi5eqB3mC/s200/sheena+and+me" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366313162579590994" border="0" /></a><br />On Monday, Sheena and Crystal came over to play.

Needless to say, gross! You can understand why there is no picture with this post. He has never done that before and hopefully won't again. He has been very interested in sitting on the potty recently. He also likes to flush. I should have explained that you can't flush a bathtub, perhaps that will keep him from using the tub again for pottying purposes.sarah truehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03898985227849116831noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8271214727522061078.post-90927562708772537862009-07-14T04:32:00.000-07:002009-07-14T04:42:38.336-07:00Pictures<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwmmd3w8YnfqBPF7AXoB8eyEBtJU8uPAuxawyRTPkxSbu-0P1_kEqdUdwRMGqEbKThhV1mSb7M-aVuvYFJ_gGStfma63axyBuJEHLV0T5oc1MofCILpsJV-UztAHg3TvTRtjEnIYyIjEMV/s1600-h/0710091700a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwmmd3w8YnfqBPF7AXoB8eyEBtJU8uPAuxawyRTPkxSbu-0P1_kEqdUdwRMGqEbKThhV1mSb7M-aVuvYFJ_gGStfma63axyBuJEHLV0T5oc1MofCILpsJV-UztAHg3TvTRtjEnIYyIjEMV/s200/0710091700a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358279404939572818" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOQ0Wy48I9CUzEDvPoVcswd837wemc7cQ9EsHpvdxW1uA0pWP8xMw73ZI6ACN1jda5R8VCEsw_i-2rmjl-qBP1r1kvhJz_oSlfpZzKMr86HIx1L4emDOSVHK-V8olYtVz0w92GO65pEOuT/s1600-h/0626091257a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOQ0Wy48I9CUzEDvPoVcswd837wemc7cQ9EsHpvdxW1uA0pWP8xMw73ZI6ACN1jda5R8VCEsw_i-2rmjl-qBP1r1kvhJz_oSlfpZzKMr86HIx1L4emDOSVHK-V8olYtVz0w92GO65pEOuT/s200/0626091257a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358278940067274754" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy-M11NEbOFxpoLWTe6FFtRXTpbWWWG7Wbiwrl-uW8OCFgmDIlOHnYf9kJzSpqWd9vjBSgNLXyCRWAbqWvuvOLkSiYgLPymuur7jJ74b6riuK7fEblBsk3QyzIGQpF0ZTOQhdjRp_wRRJC/s1600-h/0625091513.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy-M11NEbOFxpoLWTe6FFtRXTpbWWWG7Wbiwrl-uW8OCFgmDIlOHnYf9kJzSpqWd9vjBSgNLXyCRWAbqWvuvOLkSiYgLPymuur7jJ74b6riuK7fEblBsk3QyzIGQpF0ZTOQhdjRp_wRRJC/s200/0625091513.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358278786947578322" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQJhlQr3ZKfzjhBA43AUX6vXuGkIRd9BXXdPpoIFBzdSSQY29L1TJRItZMQiwBZ4Xjf1sTRWX42oKas2hIZmslzcEK-u00jsrXD5rEeK-Yirufxlvyj0gxs8eHzinLCxJ6EC1wjMi34umV/s1600-h/0626091258.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQJhlQr3ZKfzjhBA43AUX6vXuGkIRd9BXXdPpoIFBzdSSQY29L1TJRItZMQiwBZ4Xjf1sTRWX42oKas2hIZmslzcEK-u00jsrXD5rEeK-Yirufxlvyj0gxs8eHzinLCxJ6EC1wjMi34umV/s200/0626091258.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358278560169398802" border="0" /></a>sarah truehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03898985227849116831noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8271214727522061078.post-64470323881098871302009-06-10T17:09:00.000-07:002009-06-10T18:02:06.029-07:00Happy Birthday Prari<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj76bNV6QTpJDfIjAnudLONO0DJoOc-qp8-W40dLaBL_Bv_rCjj3_hQJeOX1oRj1qvj0q2nh_Jcegr9B2-12cGpB_Qhc7sAEFk4lU80NW3n1dF6kOqHACwvW6UhkB0dE1KULvvaWWKl2JfR/s1600-h/prari+bbq"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj76bNV6QTpJDfIjAnudLONO0DJoOc-qp8-W40dLaBL_Bv_rCjj3_hQJeOX1oRj1qvj0q2nh_Jcegr9B2-12cGpB_Qhc7sAEFk4lU80NW3n1dF6kOqHACwvW6UhkB0dE1KULvvaWWKl2JfR/s200/prari+bbq" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345856997540874754" border="0" /></a><br /><br />While this photo is not of Prari's birthday, it is darn cute.

The number one will always be that she led me to Jesus, well He did but through her! She is an evangelist, a wife, a mother, a generous and hospitable woman. She is honest and compassionate. Prari, may God bless you this year with grace, freedom and peace. May His face shine upon you and grow you more into the beautiful woman He made you to be.

I have felt more and more pregnant recently. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going. Although, you could ask me about that in 12 weeks and I might rip off your arm. It hasn't been bad but I am not looking forward to the heat either. I have been trying to get the house ready for baby #2, boy #3. I think a pretty big driving force for that is having a homebirth. At any rate, the house is being cleaned.sarah truehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03898985227849116831noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8271214727522061078.post-10848871465421540662009-05-26T10:32:00.001-07:002009-05-26T10:40:58.015-07:00Kadin's Birthday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCp3Q9-GqV1Tq2n3pYdCf0JNt7a5Eq9tEgI3M4fSXMyptu2qrSc74Wb7-JHlO6N22iZCiua9HtZg23GqDhmsjFvD9l8KUOeiBrrHzLbEQXwxR90ORHuXE4Ksq2XCcC4Ra7w4jDkuaWm0e_/s1600-h/DSC_3654.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCp3Q9-GqV1Tq2n3pYdCf0JNt7a5Eq9tEgI3M4fSXMyptu2qrSc74Wb7-JHlO6N22iZCiua9HtZg23GqDhmsjFvD9l8KUOeiBrrHzLbEQXwxR90ORHuXE4Ksq2XCcC4Ra7w4jDkuaWm0e_/s200/DSC_3654.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340187631538428786" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSnW0AkK8p31Gd0mp-QDofhhZmVUujFfeEp3i-WQ4JKktCdTeckQaTjJ4TDT3maQNdpe1lypy_tbrTPALAczzSUrs8kJkGKwj7OtqSO81IglvjIPOdGxp7Rej7kyd1CgMuPD8jHXvHD2FV/s1600-h/DSC_3646.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSnW0AkK8p31Gd0mp-QDofhhZmVUujFfeEp3i-WQ4JKktCdTeckQaTjJ4TDT3maQNdpe1lypy_tbrTPALAczzSUrs8kJkGKwj7OtqSO81IglvjIPOdGxp7Rej7kyd1CgMuPD8jHXvHD2FV/s200/DSC_3646.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340187472676993842" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm_qPHnbVfZron2QvY4VS_hSKwA4HF9-uY5wLF9oRQbcFQCN2jlfKQ_BLrQRJUtrg8_7kcepqRADQ1ofKptJUC_Ri4OoTDtTboymqCJDRIEFaImcTjhkgHe_Ii-2-CVBlcKi3OXrnWl6mc/s1600-h/DSC_3653.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm_qPHnbVfZron2QvY4VS_hSKwA4HF9-uY5wLF9oRQbcFQCN2jlfKQ_BLrQRJUtrg8_7kcepqRADQ1ofKptJUC_Ri4OoTDtTboymqCJDRIEFaImcTjhkgHe_Ii-2-CVBlcKi3OXrnWl6mc/s200/DSC_3653.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340187261576840946" border="0" /></a>Wow, I am a slacker about blogging! Kadin's birthday was May 16th and he turned 11. I think he had a good birthday. The weekend before he went to Columbus for a birthday party with Grandma and Grandpa. He got a zoo pass which we used for his actual birthday. We all went to see the zoo babies. He had a little party at our house too. David also took him to see Star Trek. It was fun for everyone. <br /><br />*Kadin wanted me to thank Grandma and Papa Royer for his gift and card. He currently has stashed the gift until he can think of something good he can use it for. :)sarah truehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03898985227849116831noreply@blogger.com4
