This afternoon, flying in from BC, we have: Janet (Ted's mother), Jeff (Ted's brother), Mark (Ted's brother), Tanya (Jeff's wife), Natasha (Mark's girlfriend), Austin (Jeff and Tanya's 4 year old), and Grace (Jeff and Tanya's 5 month old).

Yes, they are ALL staying with us! I think we have sleeping arrangements figured out. We'll put the whole family of four in the basement spare room where we have a bunk bed (the kind with the double on the bottom, and a single up top for Austin) and a playpen/bassinet for the baby. Then we will have the other couple in the attic where we have put our king bed, and Janet on a mattress in the den. Whew!

They will be here for a week, including Peyton's birthday (which is on Sunday) and hopefully lots of other fun events yet to be planned. There will no doubt be some challenges with so many guests as well. For one thing we currently don't have a working stove (long story, maybe I'll blog about that later).

Lucky little Peyton will also have more out-of-towners around to help her celebrate her birthday. It is just a coincidence, but my Uncle Terry, Aunt Sheila, and cousins Jenna and Victoria will be in town from Newfoundland as well - but they are staying with my other Aunt and Uncle. Hopefully we'll get to see them a bit though.
