Shout out to the In-Laws

Before I forget to do this again... I wanted to take just a second and let my mother-in-law and sister-in-laws know how much I love and appreciate them. Those of you with children know how hard it is to leave for a few days, let alone a week, having to worry about your younger kiddos. My boys split time between the in-laws while we were in Florida because Eric was out of town the entire time also.

They had a ball. My boys are good kids but still boys... Therefore, they aren't the easiest of children but I soooooo appreciate the help that we received from Eric's family. I know I have said it before but I am so glad I married such a wonderful man with a great family. They are awesome. Thanks again!!!

And BTW, Eric's cute little sis, Em is going in to have her baby tomorrow.... Yes, she watched 3 extra boys 38 weeks pregnant (gotta love her!) Good luck Em - I am sure this princess will be beautiful like Peighty! Quick background on the Madsen kiddos. Eric's mother has 13 grandsons (almost) and only 4 grand-daughters so we are soooo excited when we get new little girls on the Madsen side. Unlike my side of the family, we have 10 girls and 7 (almost) boys. This sounds pretty even unless you take into consideration that 5 of those boys are mine!! HAHA - One of my sisters has 4 girls and the other has 3 and 1 boy. My bro has 2 girls and 1 boy. So it is more lopsided than it looks - until the Madsens come into the picture that is!!!

Anyway, good luck Em!! Can't wait to see her!
