This morning Fred woke up and went down to the breakfast area where he told the motel manager that it is Elliot, and Albert's first birthday. I can't believe that they are one years old. It seems like I just had them. Having 4 kids is awesome but they grow up too fast. I want to have at least 6 kids mainly because the only life I know is having a big family, and I don't care about what my life in Africa was like before mom and dad adopted me. Mom and Dad have always been my parents and they will always be my parents. I don't want anything to do with Africa because it's not anything that is important to me because the only things that are important to me is my family, and my children.
At breakfast we sang Happy Birthday to Elliot, and Albert. Their smiles is what makes my day because they show me what love and happiness is. Carrie, and Caroline do that as well but they enjoy their brothers and try to play with them but Elliot, and Albert are too little to chase them like they try to do. My girls are energetic, and sometimes Fred has a hard time getting them to bed when I'm working at the hospital. With the boys I don't have that issue as they are pretty calm. "Mommy can I get a hug." Asked my 5 year old daughter Caroline. "Come here sweetie did you enjoy your night with Nana, and Papa?" I asked her. "Yes I did I got to spend time with my baby cousins. I wish Rachel was their because she is so adorable." She said to me. "Mommy where's daddy?" asked Carrie. "I think he went with Albert to the bathroom" I said. "Oh well can we go to Epcot today and see Anna, and Elsa?" she asked. "Honey I think we are going to Hollywood Studios to see all the attractions there." I said to her. "Wait Zola where going to Hollywood Studios today awesome I can finally go see the Star Wars attraction." Luke and Bailey said. My brothers are funny at times.
I enjoy being their big sister, and everything about them is awesome. My sisters like to do the same as my brothers well except Hannah who has a fashion design job, and modeling job. Hannah is hoping that she gets to have a Vacation instead of being on the phone with David her assistant who doesn't know how to run the show. It was so bad that when she had Rachel she had to go into work with Rachel in her baby pack that Hannah wears. Technically she was supposed to be on maternity leave but David didn't know what he was doing or how to do a certain thing. I feel bad for her as she hasn't had time to bond with Rachel really well because she has been busy. Rachel has more of a bond with Lexie, than her own mother. I think Lexie is going to be a good mother one day I just wish a sweet boy would be interested in her.
"Zo can you take Leia, Luke, and Gail for a while today while I take Elliot, and Albert for a while." Asked my dad. "Okay but why do you guys have Gail, Leia, and Luke all the time and how come Ellis and Roger don't have them." I asked. "Well your father and I decided to let Roger, and Ellis have the honeymoon they never had because of her being pregnant at the time, and Roger working." My mom said. "Well that is agreeable because they deserve it." I said. "Well you and Fred deserve it as well." My mom said. "We had our honeymoon 5 years ago before the girls were born we went to LA for a while don't you remember?" I asked. "Oh ya and I was so worried about you because when you got married you were like 29 weeks pregnant with the girls." My mom said. "Well I know everything was a blur during that time as you and dad were rundown because of Elizabeth, and Tyler being little, and how they weren't sleeping through the night yet." I said.
As the day progressed we spent time with Albert and Elliot. I love my boys and I can't believe that they keep growing so fast and I don't want to admit it but growing up is horrible. I enjoyed my childhood with my siblings, and I really wasn't ready to leave when I started college, because I had a home, a family that loved me, and I had a boyfriend who is now my husband to love me. My life has never been boring, as I have had lots of adventures. I actually remember when Bailey, Lexie, Ellis, Hannah, and I actually came to the hospital one day after school and we pretend to be doctors which was fun, my favorite activity we did was pretend to heal Hannah. This was around the time Mom and Dad were busy with Luke, and Amelia. I know they always thought we did our homework, then fell asleep in Doctor Bailey's office but we didn't we did our homework but then we played then fell asleep.
I enjoyed today even though it made me sad because my boys are now toddlers and not infants anymore. I remember taking a child development class in highschool because I thought I wanted to be at teacher or something like that but I really wasn't sure what I wanted. I have my LNA right now but I spend a lot of time with Uncle Alex as his nurse for children as not many stay because they can't watch a child go from being in one stage of healthy to dying the next day. I know it's hard on parents. At least I have yet to experience this with my little ones because I don't know if I could do that because it is a tough thing to go through as I see it almost every day.
"Hey Zola can you talk to David for me he can't handle me being gone and I really want this vacation as I didn't really get a break when I had Rachel and now that she is 6 weeks only I think it's only right for me to have a break." Hannah said. "Okay I will." I said. "Okay thank you." Hannah said. "Hello David? This is Hannah's older sister Zola she is not going to be back in Seattle for 12 days and she isn't going to be answering her phone she is spending time with her family and baby and if you call again I will fly myself to Seattle and deal with you myself, and if Hannah has to fire you so be it." I said to him. "I'm sorry ma'am I won't call I guess I'll have to figure it out on my own without Hannah." He said to me. "Thank you Zola I tried to tell him and he won't listen and I think he has just lost his right to be an assistant because he doesn't know how to handle things without me because he is always calling me even on my vacations, in fact when Nanna died I didn't even get to grieve properly because of his stress which actually is the reason why Rachel is already born. She wasn't supposed to be born until a few days ago actually." Hannah said to me. "I know sis I hope you figure out what to do because stress isn't good for you or Rachel." I said.
I know Hannah is trying to be a good mother to Rachel but when you having people like David driving you crazy because he can't figure out what is going on. If I was Hannah I would have him fired for not letting her have a life with her daughter and her family. I'm glad that Hannah moved back home so that Lexie, mom, Dad, and the rest of my siblings can help with Rachel because her ex-boyfriend, Rachel's biological father doesn't even care about Hannah or know about Rachel's existence because he told Hannah that she either leave or he would and that he never wanted to see her again. Rachel will never know him because Hannah doesn't want her near that drama I agree with her but I still feel sad for her daughter as she doesn't have a father figure, but she does have a lot of people who love her.
