Surprise!!!

Yesterday after church Karyn and Wyatt invited us over for dinner and a nice evening out of the house. While at their house we had left all phones in the car and didn't get any of the calls that had come between 12noon and 8:30 when we left Karyn's. So when we came home there were multiple missed calls on our home and cell phones from Corey's parents and his brother. Finally we had a message from his brother on the answering machine. This is what we heard...

Hey there Hanks, it's the other Hanks. Hope all is going well for you guys. Just trying to catch up with you. Oh yea Brother just wanted to let you know that Mom and the gang is headed your way and should be there soon. Hope you had a good day.

We listen to this and then decided to try and call his mom. We called her on the cell phone to find that she just came off Tahachapi and is almost to Bakersfield. Corey's mom, dad and two of his sisters had gotten in the car in the morning and came to see how he was doing.

I felt horrible for how the house looked... I had just spent 3 days at the hospital with Corey and the others trying to take care of him and the kids. SO needless to say our house was trashed, but good thing it was just family, they have to love you even if your house is messy. The kids loved to have the surprise of having everyone visit. Ella especially loved that Grandpa Walt came. She loves her grandpa and always wants to be right with him.
