We're home!

We are finally home. It seems like forever since we've been here. In fact, Hayden asked me this morning why we were at his house? We have been to Josh's grandmother's, the mountains, Josh's parents and my parent's house in the almost 2 weeks since we left so I guess I can not blame him by wondering why we are back at our house. Anyways, we had a great time, but are happy to be home. We started our Christmas festivities at Josh's grandmother's on the 23 and then left on the 24th around 8:00 pm. We got to Tennessee around 3:00 am on Christmas Morning. My poor mom and papa stayed up waiting on us. We thought both boys would go to sleep immediately upon our arrival. If we had any trouble it would be Hayden since he slept our whole trip, but all we would have to do is put him in the bed with us and he'd be fine. We thought Cayson would lay right down since he was awake most of our trip. Hah! He had other plans and kept his daddy up all night and then slept almost all of Christmas day and so did my poor husband! We had a great, relaxing time in the mountains though and Cayson was fine the rest of the week. We didn't do as much as we normally do, but it was nice to be able to relax and not have anything to do. We left on the 31st (Josh's birthday...He turned 25!) and went to my parents house to spend a few days with them. We always do a big New Year's Day dinner. However, I did not stay awake to ring in the New Year. Hayden and I fell asleep around 11:00 pm and that was just fine with me! Yesterday, we went to the hospital because my papa had a coronary(I think that is the name) cath put in to look at his arteries. We were afraid he was going to have to have bypass surgery, bu the doctor's were able to put stints in instead. He is doing well and we are so thankful he doesn't have to have the bypass surgery and is doing good. While I was at the hospital, my boys went over to Josh's parents to hang out for awhile. Once I was able to see my papa after the procedure and talk to him, I met Josh and we were on our way home. My dear husband turned the heat off though and when we got home it was 50 degrees in our house. So he turned the heat on and we went and ran some errands to let the house warm up some. So we finally got home around 8:30 last night and today I have been trying to get bags unpacked, wash cloths and all that good stuff. I start school back on Thursday and we are going back to SC on Friday for a wedding we have this weekend so I'm trying to get our house in order.
