Forgot to mention in the newsletter, that I will be in Ruston from June 29 to July 3 for StudentLife Camp at Louisiana Tech. Can you believe I said I would never again stay in those dorms! Never say never!!
I would love to visit with all of our friends while I'm there. Let me know when's a good time.
Of course I will have plenty pics of the twins! :)

Happy Anniversary!
Today, Monday, June 9, marks 7 years of marriage for Melissa and myself!! It's hard to believe it has been that long. And yes, after 7 loooong years of waiting, I finally got our wedding video finally edited. Thank you to all of you who were there and oh yeah, especially for the interesting comments in the "interview" reel!
Contractions, Hospital Runs, and Still No Twins! Oh, My!!
No, K & K are still not here (I'm sure that's what you thought when you first got this email. We have had some close calls (the latest being this past Saturday, June 7). Melissa's contractions were 4 minutes apart. We drove to Rush Hospital in Meridian (trust us, you don't even get a band-aid from Newton Regional!), got a Breathine (sp?) shot, contractions stopped, and came home. This was better than on Mother's Day weekend where Melissa had a 3 day stay in the hospital to get the contractions stopped.
She was 36 weeks as of this past Saturday (June 7) and the babies at the last ultrasound weighed 5 lbs 11 oz and 5 lbs 13 oz. We go for another doctor's visit tomorrow (Tuesday, June 10). Dr. Purdy's goal is for neither baby to visit the NICU at all. He is hoping to push Melissa at least to the 15th. We believe that if she starts having a contractions after the 15th then he will go ahead and take them. If not, the girls will be here no later than Tuesday, June 24th. That is our scheduled delivery. Of course, it will be a c-section.
Continue to pray for Melissa (she has been on bed rest for 3 months now) and is very tired. Both girls are doing fine. Chloe is very excited and ready for her sisters to get here. Jason is just wondering how to survive with 5 females (if you count our dog) in the house! :) Of course, he is excited, anxious, and ready as well for his "new princesses" to arrive.

It's Been A While
Wow! It has been a looooong time since I posted anything. I don't have much time this morning- probably why it's been a while :) But a quick update on everything- Melissa has been put on permanent bed rest until the twins arrive. We had some scary moments the week of April 7 (two visits to the hospital) due to early contractions. She was given a shot and was actually in danger at one point of losing the babies (because the doctor did not do what he should have done- NOT our doctor, unfortunately, our doctor was on vacation). But, praise God He watched over Melissa, Kennedy, and Kaitlyn.
She is home and doing well. She's going stir crazy, but we haven't had any more spells since that week. She's on constant medication and for the most part, is taking it easy. Wilma, Melissa's mom, is here to help us out. Praise God for mothers!
We go to the doctor again this Friday and I promise I will try my best to post a report. Also, we begin renovating the twins' bedroom this week so I will try to get some pics posted, as well as new ones of Chloe! :)

Who are the Camdens?
The title of our blog is really one of those "inside family jokes." Well, since you've asked (OK, no one really asked, but I was looking for something to blog about and decided on this). But ever since Melissa and I have been married (and even before then) we were both fans of the TV show- 7th Heaven.
And fairly often, probably every three episodes or so, something would happen in that show that would parallel our lives. We began saying to each other- "Our life is like the Camdens!"
For instance, the Camdens have the same Denby china that we did (we lost ours in Katrina). Also, of course the obvious one, Eric is a minister and so is Jason. The Camdens were surprised with twins, and so are we. Now at least our twins are coming after just one child, not five! And Chloe is very reminiscent of a young Ruthie! We're praying that she becomes more like Lucy!!

Aagh! I'm sick!
And not only me, but my whole family- Melissa and Chloe included. The only on that is well is Holi (the dog). We all have the flu and let me tell you I will be the first in line to get the flu shot next year! This stuff is not fun!!
It's been a while since I wrote last so I thought I would give you some updates as to everything that's going on. Both Kennedy and Katelyn are doing great. At the last sonogram (a week ago today) Kennedy weighed 1 lb, 10 oz and Katelyn was 1 lb. 8 oz. Both right where they need to me. Melissa is measuring 34 weeks (although she is only 25!) and is starting to feel somewhat uncomfortable but I'm sure the worst is yet to come.
In my previous post I had said I'd vote for John Rousanville for Congress. Well, I changed my mind and voted for Greg Harper who is in the runoff against Charlie Ross. I really don't think either one of these guys is a bad choice.
And isn't it fun to watch the democrats tear each other apart!! Keep it up Hill and Obama!

A Class Act
Tomorrow is Mississippi's Primary- a race I don't really get to vote in. Well, at least for President this go around anyway. Followers of this blog know that I have been a vocal supporter of Mike Huckabee since the very beginning. Unfortunately, its not his time this go around. And no, I can not go into the voting booth and vote for Hillary just to keep the democratic party furor going until their convention. They're doing a good enough job of that on their own.
Of course, I am now adamantly and whole heartedly supporting John McCain. You might not agree with every one of his positions- when have you ever found someone you agree with 100% of the time besides yourself?- but I do believe he will keep our country safe, take us in a positive economic direction, and uphold the values and traditions of our country, our religion, and the Republican party.
For those of us in the 3rd Congressional District in Mississippi that are Republicans, we do have a major vote to cast in that primary. My vote will go for . . . John Rounsaville. I encourage you to support him as well.
I've said that this blog would also be about technology and all things Mac, and with very limited exception, I've really yet to post anything on here about that. Well, get ready, as we prepare to take a brief break from the political realm, I need something new to rant about. :)
BTW, click here to read Mike's letter about his departure- he is truly a class act. And my "dream ticket" for 2016 (Yes, of course McCain will win in 08 and re-election in 2012 :) Mike Huckabee and Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal! The south will rise again!! LOL
