visitors

last week we had a wonderful visit from my mom and three of my sisters. i hope they thought so too. i sure enjoyed lots of good food, fun games, and other people keeping afton busy! afton loved going for a ride with grandma (shopping especially) and having lots of people that let her be the center of attention. rayna didn't really seem to care about the company per se, but she sure liked being held so much. paul especially enjoyed missy's company, cause she did all the dishes for the WHOLE week. i wish i could say i was sure they loved it here, but afton also had a double ear infection the whole time they were hear (pun intended) so she wasn't nearly as happy as she usually is. unfortunately, she shared her cold with the rest of us, and i'm afraid by the time they left, everyone had it. so anyways, rayna's already had her first cold, and she finally seems to be on the mend (i think i only had to suck the snot out of her nose twice today!). i'm feeling better too, but i've decided that if i ever want to sell a house again, i'll do it when i don't have a brand new baby, and when we're all healthy (okay, so that's a good goal, i know it may not be a practical one, cause really, who knows if we'll ever be able to buy a house again, let alone have a house to sell?!). i guess the combined affect of sickness, lack of sleep and pressure to keep the house clean are a bit much for my nerves (or is it my hormones?).
i've just uploaded my pictures onto the computer, and it occured to me that i didn't take many pictures with my family here!!! mom, if you have some good ones, i'd love to see them.

i do have to say though, when the realtor called last week and wanted to show the house to a couple people, i was truely amazed at how fast my house got cleaned out! it not only was clean, but there was no way anyone would guess that there were four extra people living there for a week! you guys were great!
