Well, we survived the week with four extra children and belt testing and new carpet all rolled into one!!! We had new carpet put in last Tuesday in our upstairs bedrooms, hall, stairs and living room. Our plan is to put laminate into the family room but we will actually see when that project gets finished. We had mold in the baby's room from heavy use of the humidifier during his first two years of life but we got it all killed and new carpet put down.....ahhhhhh......that was a sigh of relief. Mold is definitely not something to mess with!!! (Kristen.....there is all your excuse to get your new carpet downstairs. What with all that flooding that has happened in your window well....unfortunately you will probably have to rip out the sheet rock and replace it too) Then for the rest of the week we had upwards of 4 extra children all week and over the weekend. Verlene had a healthy baby boy named Quentin Bonsall Johnson, 6lb 7oz, 19.5 inches born at 3:26 A.M.!!! He is the cutest little guy and they are all doing well. Amidst all of the craziness and fun, the boys had their first belt test. Each did a really great job and they received their yellow belts at a belt ceremony that was last night!!! They were so excited and we are so proud of them and the hard work that they have given to their new interest......Grandpa and Grandma Whitesides were able to attend and we were so happy that they could make it. So as it goes, life continues and all is well at the Mills household. I am just trying to recover from having seven children and keeping up with all that goes on in a family and household!!! I am thoroughly convinced that God gives us one at a time(for the most part) for a great reason......love you all and hope you are all doing well.
