I miss you guys, but man have we been busy.  Twin toddlers are a handful to say the least.  We're tired.

As previously stated, the kids were sick.  Well they recovered and got sick again.  We all got healthy  and things were just fabulous in Reedland, but Jake managed to contract some ghastly virus a few weeks ago and bring it home.  He was super sick for a week and a half, Karen got so sick she had antibiotics and Codeine pain reliever.  Vance got sick, Paige got it and I managed to skate.

After the worst of it passed, I got it.  I'm still a little down, but not too bad.  Jake's getting there and Vance is finally coming out of the woods.  We're so tired that we had to pass on a family reunion the other night because we were fairly convinced that it would put one of us in the hospital.  Seriously.

Sunday I was getting ready for church and Karen was calling me.  I got my shirt buttoned, worked on my tie and went down, to find her on the floor.  Yep.  Down, but not quite out.  She hadn't sounded hurt and all she had done was call my name.  That's because all she could do was call my name. She had another one of those brown outs like when she was pregnant.  Finding your wife on the floor is terrifying.

I felt indescribably guilty.  I took my sweet time because she sounded like she just wanted a hand with something.  She forgives me and understands, but I have to tell you it's nothing you want to have happen to you.  It just sucks.

What else?  Not much on the bad tip.  Things are leveling off finally, or at least for now.  Let's hope.

 I get baptized Sunday which I'm excited about.  I may have video for you guys, but I may not, it depends on how things go, and whether or not I make a sniveling baby of myself.  I may post it even if I do, but...yeah.

Paige finally walks.  She has been able for about a month, but she just refused to do it.  She went all gaspetti legs until we refused to carry her and had to remove all the walkers from the house.  She held out for a little longer, but I think  watching Vance have all the fun was the motivation she needed.  Now we have two toddlers.  Two.  At once.  I turned my attention to Vance for a second the other day and went and found Paige AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRCASE, smiling at me and trying to open the gate.  I just about fainted.

  Vance has squid suckers for fingertips, man.  If he touches something, it's adhered to him.  We have to get to him before he touches stuff or he's got it in his grasp.  I think things have actually been drawn toward him just by his will alone.  He's something else.

Jake is Jake, dudes.  He's doing fine and baseball starts tonight, so we have now officially lost him for about a week until we can reign him in.  He has that look in his eyes that tells you nothing you say is getting through.  Doll's eyes.  Boys.

So, yeah, no funny wild stories no interesting points of view this time, just family business, like the Corleone's.  Now I got some business to settle...

I'm glad that the Reed clan is doing well. I can't believe how big your little ones are getting... Are they going to start driving next year? I keed... I keed...

Hopefully Karen is okay. :( I've only passed out or nearly passed out a couple of times, and it's a very scary feeling. Hopefully she's okay.

Good to hear from you man!

Glad to hear the family is starting to heal from the nasties that last too long. That flu went around here for a couple of months and was no fun at all! Hope Karen is okay, that her "brownout" was only because of her flu & it won't be happening again.

Congrats on the baptism, too. I'd love to see the vid, whether you're crying or not. I remember how special my own baptism was to me, so can relate to the emotions you might be enjoying now. :)

Toddlers = the best darn weight loss program on the planet! ;)

Teens = gray hair... and lots of it!

Dude sounds like you've had more than enough going on. Especially chasing those babies around, that's more work for one day that I do in a week.

Don't beat yourself up about Karen, as wives we really do understand the hesitation even if we don't like it. I do hope she is ok though, I would be terrified.

I love to hear about the twins. I am sure they are exhausting but believe me the time will fly by all too quickly. Enjoy it, you can sleep later...like when they're thirty.
