Hotel Patton

We have unofficially become the pitt stop from SLC to the Oregon Coast. Dan's brother and his wife stopped by two weekends ago and then last weekend on their way to and from the Oregon Coast. Then Dan's little sister and her 5 friends stopped by last weekend on their way to the coast. They are on their senior trip. Saturday night we all played "Bang." Miraculously, 9 girls in one house made it to 9am church with 5 minutes to spare. So all of you who can't make it to church on time... stop making excuses! Dan, luckily, had a meeting at 6:30am Sunday morning so he missed the chaos. This weekend coming up, Laurel and her friends will come back and Dan's mom and grandma will come to visit on their way to the coast. Well, at least the beach house is getting lots of use. So we have had lots of visitors. I realize that I need to buy more bath towels to accomodate our visitors.

Sacrament meeting has been nice because the girls are now preoccupied with our visitors so I have been able to relax a little the past two Sundays. Last Sunday Ryleigh decided to throw a tantrum so I had to take her out for the first time. She cried for 20 minutes in the foyer and I couldn't figure out why. She finally calmed down just as the meeting was over. I pass her off to Dan and what does she do? Falls asleep on the floor of Sunday school. Ryleigh will be going to nursery next month. She should transition well. Then the baby will come and we will have our hands full again. But talk about good timing.

Sorry no pictures this time. You are just going to have to imagine 6 -18 year olds in sleeping bags on our living room floor.
