***BREAKING NEWS***

This just in...Aidan has a tooth!! WOOHOO! Go Aidan!

I love living in a small town. A really small town. I was born and raised in Florida. The last town that I lived in had a population of 51,364. When I was 18 I moved to Tennessee. The population of the town I currently live in is 1,702. When I moved here from Florida, I was a little "culture shocked"! In Florida, the daily newspaper was very thick and filled with horrible stories of crime. In Tennessee, my local paper is published weekly, and is still very small! I got quite a kick reading it the other night. The paper was set up so that each community in the county had a small area where it could update it's members with local happenings. Well, obviously, not a lot happens. Most of them contained who was getting married, and whose birthday was coming soon. Then, they ran out of steam! The writers would then put who had visitors! And I am not talking about out of town visitors, I mean "Sara and Jim went by to visit with Mary and Bob on Saturday"! I was in shock! I could not believe that something that small, made a spot in the paper! Sadly, in Florida it would never even be considered. There, you would have to come up missing to get in the paper! And if that didn't tickle me enough, when I got to the next section, the writer started telling the readers about her pet goats! I was loving it!

"The Boys"

Here are my other little sweeties. John is my oldest he is on the far right, and Dylan is my second oldest (i am not a big fan of the term "middle child" as i was one myself, and HATED it!) he is on the left in front.

This picture was taken at their baseball award ceremony. Both of their teams were #1 in their division! WOOHOO!! The boy in the middle is their cousin Jesse, and the little boy in back is one of Dylan's team-mates who just snuck in!

Dr. Jamie, Medicine Woman

today at work, i diagnosed my co-worker with a rare disorder. it was quite fun! i am happy to say that she is doing very well now and is expected to make a full recovery! LOL!! in all reality, i realized that i may be a bit of a hypochondriac. when i think about all of the times that i have searched online and found rare and serious diseases that i was SURE that i had, it makes me laugh! and it is not only me, but my children also. i have come to the conclusion that all of the health websites out there should have huge disclaimers that read "HEY! YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE THIS! GO TO THE DOCTOR!" in big big letters, just for people like me!

however, in my own defense...I did accurately guess that my son has scarlet fever years ago and the doctor was quite impressed! GO ME!

Aidan

it took me awhile, but i am back! just wanted to add a picture of aidan. he is almost 4 months old, and last night he rolled over all by himself!! he is so smart! i will add pictures of the other boys soon.
