The Madness Has Begun!

I had intended on writing at least a couple of times a week, but I'll just blame my inconsistency on the holidays for now, since we've already had family with us for Christmas for the last week! John David flew from Germany, picked up Cami and Isabelle in Texas, then flew with them to Utah last Sunday. It's been so nice spending time with my brother, as it's been quite some time since we've been able to really catch up. My girls are LOVING having their cousins here, too! They all get along really well--at least for this first week--we'll see how worn down they get in the next two!!! I'm excited to get the rest of the family here on Saturday. THANKFULLY , they'll be staying with Meredith since having 9 people in here is already making our tiny house bulge at the seams!
I really should be taking advantage of everyone being at school and out shopping, and clean my house before they all get back. There's now toothpaste in places I never knew existed, and seriously, who knew milk could superglue cheerios to the kitchen floor? I've already told the rest of my family that I can't guarantee what I clean today will stay that way by the time they all get here, and until my children learn how to fold laundry, clean the dishes and mop the floor WITHOUT me having to redo it, they'll just have to be satisfied with what I get around to doing!!!
