~GROUP HUG~

    I just noticed it has been awhile since I checked in so thought I would try and update a bit. This last week has been a bit of a whirl wind! I guess they all are when you have 4 kids...but this one was really busy. SF teaches at a school that has Evaluations 2 times a year. When this happens the teachers meet with each parent for 1/2 hour...this makes the days really long. The evals start at 10AM and the last one is finished at 10PM. So the kids and I didn't see SF much this week! To our advantage the school just moved to a new location and it is only 5.5miles from our house...so that did help!
    SF's parents arrived Thursday evening and have already been a great help! EM will have his pharyngeal flap surgery done Monday morning, so they will be here to hold down the fort! I will spend the night in the hospital with EM and hopefully be home sometime on Tuesday! Having 2 boys with cleft lip/palate...can equal many surgeries...but we are so blessed to have them!
    I think I have mentioned that JM will have his first palate surgery the 28th...so once this month is over we might be able to come up for air! I did make a call to our insurance the other day...just to make sure that we really do have as good of coverage as I thought and yes everything is covered! We are so fortunate in that respect. We couldn't do it otherwise.
    The photo is of SF's dad with the 3 oldest...they do love having their Grandparents here!
All for now!
