Updates and Chores :)

OK, so yesterday I informed you all about Jessie and the boys who were after her (see previous post titled "So Darn Pretty"). As soon as she got in the car after school yesterday, she told me that she now has a "boyfriend".



Me: "Who?"

Jess: "Guess."

Me: "Scroggins?" (He is the boy that she has had a crush on, but wasn't one of the ones planning on asking her out.) (We always refer to him by his last name since Jess doesn't want Ryan to know his first name because he will tease her about him.)

Jess: "Nope."

Me: "Sam?" (He is the persistent boy who went and got permission from Jessie's friend.)

Jess: "Nope."

Me: "The sixth grader?"

Jess: "Nope."


Now I was completely stumped.


Me: "Who is it then?"

Jess: "Jesse!"


Prior to that moment, I had never heard any mention of any boy named Jesse, but apparently she has had a crush on him at the same time as liking Scroggins. It was news to me.


Me: "But what about Scroggins?"

Jess: "Well I still like him but he isn't going to ask me out."

Me: "Of course he's not going to now because you have a boyfriend."

This new "boyfriend" of hers asked her out through her friend and is as shy as Jessie. They don't have any classes together. They have separate lunch times. And he doesn't have a cell phone to text. So I'm sure this will be a very long, meaningful relationship. :)

Jessie + Jesse...awww, how cute.

Yesterday I also informed you about Ryan's cousin's wife Michelle and her twin girls (see previous entry titled "Prayer Request"). Well she gave birth to her twin girls yesterday. I think they are about 7 weeks premature, but are both doing OK. They both weighed in around 4 pounds. As of yesterday afternoon, they were having to help Baby A breathe a little bit, but the doctor's didn't seem too concerned about it. Chris and Michelle are still undecided on names...they thought they had a bit more time to decide! Michelle seems to be doing good. The doctors are hopeful that her liver will be fine now that she's given birth. And she was able to deliver naturally, so she doesn't have the added pain of healing from a c-section. So hopefully everything will continue to go smoothly for them. I'm sure that the girls will have to stay in the hospital for a little while. And while I'm sure that will be hard for Michelle to leave the hospital empty handed, at least she will be able to get a good night's sleep in the beginning and be able to recover a bit quicker. She's going to need all the strength she can get once the babies get to come home! :) I'll keep you posted.

As I sit here typing out this post, Rylee and Devynn are "cleaning" the blinds and dusting for me. Rylee is trying to earn money to pay for frozen yogurt for all of us (What a sweet girl!), so I am giving her chores to do. And Devynn just has to do everything that Rylee does. It's so cute to watch them with the duster and cleaning wipes in their hands. Adorable!! And yesterday Rylee vacuumed the entire upstairs for me! Thanks Ry Ry! :)
