Clarifications

I thought I had better make a couple clarifications for anyone who might be deceived by the finer details in the story below!
1. Never in the existence of my home ownership have I ever had . . . and I really mean ever had . . . a spotless house. I'm sure that anyone who reads my blog might already know that . . . but just in case I have led anyone astray on that point I thought I better make that one clear.
2. In case my account leads anyone to believe that I never get a break from Ada's talking . . . that is not so much true either. I happen to live next to three girls who are believe it or not half human and half angel. It's pretty amazing really. But these girls ages 9, 11, and 13, actually come knock on my door a couple times a week and ask if they can play with my children! Could there be anything more lovely than that? They are wonderful. I seriously want to adopt them except for the fact that they already have one of the most amazing women on the planet as their mother. They take the kids outside and play superheroes and ride scooters and all sorts of things. When we were planning Hayden's birthday party we asked him who he wanted to invite to his party and he replied, "Megan, Jenna, Brittney . . . and Sister Hahn." That was his list . . . and those are the neighbors. Needless to say, we love those guys.
