sweet tea any one?

Well I made the great adventure across 5 states...Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and into Alabama, with my 4 little girls.  I think I deserve some kind of mommy award for traveling alone with my kids like that.  So right now I am sitting in my mom and dad's house in Harvest, AL,  with Jon and Kate plus 8 playing silently in the back ground as my 4 little angels snooze away a hard day's play in their beds.  My folks have spent many years living on a military salary.  My dad has been retired for 8 or 9 years now and they finally can see the fruits of their labor.  Their home is beautiful and there is plenty of room for me and my brother to come at Christmas with our families.  Together we have 6 kids plus his wife and my husband.  It will be a bustling house full, but I am really looking forward to it.  Our babies our just three weeks apart and his 7 year old is 8 weeks older than my 7 year old.  So they are great friends.
