Von Canon B&B: Maximum Capacity 16!

Well, it isn't hard to believe that this entry got forgotten about...May ended with a BANG and then June flew...so did July...see next post! Here is what I had before time really slipped away from me...! LOL!

It is hard to believe that it has been almost a month since my last post...well, if you look at my calendar, it isn't really all that hard to believe! It has been very busy and lots of fun!! See if you can keep it all straight...
~ Monday, May 24 Fred leaves for business trip
~ Tuesday, May 25 Gramma (my Mom) arrives for the week
~ Wednesday, May 26 I leave for birthday trip to Vegas with Chrissy (final destination unbeknownst to her!)
~ Thursday, May 27 Fred returns home in the evening after my Mom has taken the girls to the Talent Show up at school. Lesley goes into the hospital around 10 pm (long)after her water has broken, we expect a baby sometime soon!
~ Friday, May 28 Jon (Fred's brother), Jenni, Owen (age 3.5), Andy (age 1) and Ollie (age 1) arrive. No baby yet.
~ Saturday, May 29 early hours Livia Marie Siscoe arrives! I arrive home as scheduled at 11:30 pm, Theron (Jon's son, our nephew) arrives on a flight that was delayed from 11:20pm to 1 am. Fred came out to the airport to pick us both up, so we spent that time waiting on the flight catching up on the last week's events.
~ Sunday, May 30 In my car, Jon, Jenni, Owen and Theron leave for 6 day cruise leaving Andy and Ollie (our 1 year old, both walking, twin nephews) here with us. All 7 of us (my Mom included) pile into the van that we traded for my car and head to the hospital in Wilmington to meet Livia and check in on the rest of the Siscoes. Kind of a hard day because Livia was having some tests done on her GI system thinking that there may had been some blockage. The good news is that by the next morning they were able to tell us that there was nothing wrong and that Lesley and Livia could go home! The bad news was that for about 24 hours they really didn't have anything conclusive to say and had a tube down Livia's nose and were taking pictures every 30 minutes of her intestines waiting for things to move through.
~ Monday, May 31 fun day back in Raleigh with my Mom, the twins and the girls. No school for Maggie.
~ Tuesday, June 1 Maggie goes back to school, and Fred takes my Mom to RDU for her 9:30 am flight home. For the last few days we have been waiting for David (Fred's other brother) and his wife Carolyn to get here from Fayetteville, AR. Unfortunately, they had car trouble multiple times along the way. They got here Tuesday night finally, when they rented a Uhaul and towed the car the last 200 miles! We were so thankful that they were able to stay for a week...from the time that they got here!!
~ Thursday, June 3 Lesley, Ty, Alex and yes, 5 day-old Livia, come to visit for a few days!! Hooray!!
~ Saturday, June 5 Jeni, Jon, Owen and Theron arrive back from their week long cruise. At this point there are 7 children here who are 6 and under...THREE of which are 1 year old boys! :) ...and the grand total for the Von Canon B&B rises to 16! We had a TON of fun and everybody really enjoyed themselves!
~ Sunday, June 6 we ALL went to Faith for church...and then out to Golden Corral afterwards for lunch...I think that we REALLY got our money's worth that day!! wink!
~ Monday, June 7 we made a last minute decision to go Vollmer Farms for our annual strawberry picking...how fun it was to have both of my sister-in-laws with me!! ...and Maggie too...who had an "educational opportunity" that gave her an excused absence from school for the day!! wink, wink! ...ask her about milking a cow!
~ Tuesday, June 8 David and Carolyn had a flight back to AR (their car is still getting fixed!) and Jon and his departed on their road trip back to Kansas City.

It was quiet here for a few days... :) ...we had company arrive on Friday morning for the weekend to join us at the softball tournament in Greenville...!! :)
