-We are having a cousin party...11 kids including my own at one point (2 babies, a 2 year old, a three year old, two 4 year olds, three 6 year olds, a 9 year old and a ten year old). I love having a full house. We watched Mr. Magorium and Bridge to Terabithia on the projector with some fabulous microwave popcorn.
-My cousins' 91 year old grandma went through the temple today for the first time...how cool is that?!?
-We got our structural engineering stuff back. Not really sure what that means, but I know we need it, so woo hoo!
-Bryan got into the doctor, and the doctor is cool! He wears hawaiian shirts, drives an old, beat up truck and saw Bryan for over an hour!!! Hoe-Lee Cow!
-I successfully got all 8 children to sleep before midnight...my house is now silent!
-Bryan's doctor says that all the other doctors Bryan has gone to in the past took it upon themselves to tell him what he didn't have, but that his job is to figure out what Bryan does have.
-On his to do list, the doctor even wrote "follow this through to the end." Kind of sweet :)
-The doctor says that since he has had these problems for 3 years, it most likely isn't something scary.
Optimistically-challenged news for the day:
-I didn't get pictures of today with all the kids because...did I mention I had 11 kids here?!? I will try again tomorrow.
-It looks like the sale fell through on our house...again. Kind of a bummer, they are really nice people.
-Our house project has become a circle....see below.
In order to get our loan, we have to rent out our house
To rent out our house, we have to move to our new house
To move to our new house, we have to finish the kitchen and bathroom (at least)
To finish the kitchen and bathroom, we need a loan
Repeat.
-Bryan's doctor says that since Bryan has had his problems for 3 years, they are probably here to stay. He will have a bunch of tests in a couple weeks, so we'll see what that brings, but just having someone validate Bryan that there really is a problem was a great step for him.

HOLY COW, 11 kids, only you can do that Tiff! You are amazing. Although it does sound like a lot of fun to have a big movie night. You will have to keep me updated on Bryan, I am glad you have finally found a doctor that will try and figure this thing out!
You brave, brave woman!
Sounds like you found a cool doctor. Hope they get it all figured out so Bryan can find a little relief.
Hurray for doctors who actually care!! I'm sure it's a relief that he thinks it's nothing too serious.
Don't you just love all the hoops you have to jump through to build a house (or in your case, remodel)? At least you're making progress with your house plans! Yeah!
Okay Tiff, I can't believe that anyone would expect someone to watch 6 of their kids when they know you already have four of your own. They did know you had kids, didn't they? You really need to learn how to say, "no". I do it all the time if you need any helpful pointers!
What an amazing cousin you are, Tiff! No wonder you are so skinny and look like a teenager still, because you're running around watching everyone's children...if that's what YOU call them. I bet they had so much fun...whoever they are! Let me know when you have any free days and time so I can 'drop' my four kids off to you!
Know I love and appreciate you, Tiff! You are truly an angel! Love, ME!
I'm so glad you found a doctor who won't give up on Bryan. Hope relief comes very soon.
