Around February, when I had decided on a date for Abby's baptism, I called my dad to see if he wanted to come out and baptize her. Lucky for us, he did. I didn't tell the kids they were coming because if something happened and they couldn't come, I didn't want to deal with the aftermath so I've kept it a secret for months.
Dad & Susan flew out on Thursday, October 14th. I had picked up both kids from school and told them that Todd needed us to pick up some girl from the airport and drop her off at the auction since there was no one around to do it. We waited in the parking lot for a bit until I got the call. We then went in and waited. It was a fun surprise for the kids. *See video at the end*
Thursday:
played baseball & golf
swinging on swings
grilled bbq chicken for dinner
talking
Around 11pm, Todd was moaning in the shower so I went to check on him and he was in pain due to a kidney stone. Luckily we were able to leave the kids with the parents and run to the ER. The ER in D'ville was crappy so we left and went to Tanner in Villa Rica and got right in, drugs on board, CT scan and home by 3:15am.
