Things are going well here. Uncle John has found a new apartment and will be moving in in a week or so. He is moving next door to us again. One apartment over from where he lived when T was born. It will be nice to have him so close again. I am glad that T will have his godfather close and that Jayden will know John like T did from an early age.

Terrell started T ball yesterday. It was so funny to watch the kids trying to play. They would forget to run to the base or they would all chase the ball. Too cute for words. Jayden is doing good too. Growing like a weed and starting to be alert and interact with us. Yesterday he gave his big brother the biggest smile. It is so cool to see that smile but he is not doing it all the time yet. He is also cooing and babbling to us now. Jayden's baptism is 1½ weeks and I have done nothing to prepare yet. I need to get my butt in gear.

Devastated

How was your 4th? Ours started off really nicely. We had a bunch of people over for a BBQ and of course fireworks. Had a blast and was so tired last night. About midnight my doorbell starts ringing. Now you know in my head I am saying WTF! I go to the door and it is Uncle John. His house burned down last night. He is safe and everyone got out ok. One firefighter did have minor injuries, it was a 3 alarm fire from what the news said. He is at the house now seeing if there is anything salvageable. He will be staying with us for the foreseeable future. Sleeping in the boys room. T will sleep with Dad and I will continue to bunk on the couch. I am so grateful it happened at 10pm instead of 2am. If it had happened later I fear we would be planning a funeral today. John said it spread really fast. He overheard his downstairs neighbor on the phone to her DH saying that she had a candle going and it caught the curtains on fire. UNBELIEVABLE! Here is a picture of the house.
