He's Coming Home!

HUGE SIGH........

I was able to get a flight for Jullien today to get back home (April 19th-May 4th) so his mama can take care of him! I didn't even realize the extent of the weight I was carrying until I booked the flight. It was just complete & total relief...as if I had been carrying an incredible load.

Funny how we don't even realize the stress that we walk around with. It somehow just becomes a normal part of everyday life these days.

So he'll be here for 2 weeks, fly back to NY for court on the 12th, then to Utah on the 23rd to hopefully get an immediate implant at the dental office that my mom works at. That's the plan for now anyways.

The sun seems to be shining in my little corner of the world again!

life's waves may come & toss us...but God's love continues to shine through

Taping Day: Nickelodeon's BrainSurge

We went down to LA on Monday...Elijah and Adam got to be on their first T.V. game show. Nickelodeon's new show BrainSurge is due to air this summer. The boys were so excited that they got to take the day off of school. But that excitement quickly fizzled, they had to go to school on the set. We sat around the green room eating, eating and eating. Oh, did I mention we ATE?
How come whenever you're bored and there's food around, you keep munching away? By the time they finished school we were stuffed.

It was a VERY LONG DAY. We got there at about 10:00 a.m. and the boy's didn't finish until about 8:00 p.m. A word of advice for you parents who want to get your kids into acting...you better have tons of patience.

We were talking to a dad who does this all the time for his daughter and he said that last week he spent about 30 hrs. just sitting in his car waiting for his daughter. NO THANKS! I'm pretty patient but that is ridiculous. It was a really fun experience for the boys. You are probably wondering how they did? Sorry people...but we signed legal papers saying that we can't give out any information until after the show airs. So I will tell you when it's on and you can watch my two "little" guys answer some very difficult questions.

For all of you parents who think that this show is just for kids, you're wrong...make sure you watch it with them. It'll be an exciting family friendly show. I even had a hard time answering some of the questions. I predict that BrainSurge will be an instant BIG HIT!
