Three sisters

Amy came down to visit us today in Raleigh. It was so nice just to spend the day with both of my sisters! It does make me feel a little sorry for Jemma... she will never have a sister to share days like this... of course, I'm hoping that she and James will be close and be able to share quality times together!

There was an American Idol recap on TV, which captivated the attention of both boys.

Jemma was singing into her "microphone." Aunt Amy danced with Logan:

James and Amy playing: You'll notice in this picture that Jemma has on her pretty white dress shoes. I put her in bed for a nap with no socks and shoes. When I woke her for dinner, she announced that she was ready for ballet class. She had emptied (yes, taken everything out) the suitcase, put on her socks backwards (so the bows were in the front and not the back) and white dressy shoes.

I tried to get a picture of the kids with Aunt Nicole and Aunt Amy... these three are the result of my effort:

Jemma had another night of tossing and turning with lots of teeth grinding and episodes of crying... I'm just beyond tired. I hope that the kids sleep well tonight because I need sleep before driving tomorrow!

The lack of communication from my husband is driving me crazy... I truly feel sorry for the women (and men) whose significant others can't communicate for long periods of time. I love living in the era of cell phones and emails so I can hear from my husband often. I hope that they get the ship's email up and running soon!

I'm off to bed... I'll try to post from home tomorrow evening! :)
