The coolest birthday party idea ever....

We have found the coolest, most awesome tween/teen party ever!! Kaylee was invited to the 14th birthday of a school friend. When I dropped her off, the mom told me that the girls were going to go on the 360 Party Bus. For those of you who don't know, the 360 Party Bus is this radical bus/motor coach that you can rent out, complete with a drive - to drive around and party. For the kids, they had music (really loud!), dancing, and pizza - while they cruised around Asheville. I'm not sure if I should be proud, or what....but she was quite excited to tell me that the bus had a "strip pole." OMG!!! Garrett summed it up the best by saying, "Hey Mom, we watch Law and Order. We have seen those things on tv." Stripper pole aside, the 360 Party Bus was a huge hit with the kids. Lana and Garrett are planning their upcoming birthday parties on the bus - and I am super excited since it means no cleaning up for me :o).

On another, more serious note, Jude is staying an extra night in the hospital. Since his birth, his breathing has been off and shallow, and he is a bit jaundiced. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers....we really want him home soon!!
