What's been goin' on?

Hello everyone! Morgan here with the latest updates! There's tons to tell of course since it has been a while since I've posted.
Dad is doing fabulous at his job, loving every moment. Work is tough but I've never seen a better man to do the job than my Dad! He spends his free time at home, wipping the boys into shape for the new baseball season. Playing catch with Bren and Ethan, work and continually helping mom with some leftover chores leaves him exhausted at the end of the day.
Mom is at home tending to her amazing motherly duties. And they are many!! I don't know where we'd be without our mother, but organized is not one of them! She consantly keeps things in order even when there are six rabid children running around the house. She works so hard so that the rest of the family can return home to a house that's clean and happy. I can never say thank you enough for her constant care! I love you mom!
Erin is kept busy with her new job and making many preporations for her new baby that is soon to arive in April. She is constantly on her feet (poor Erin!!) and working hard to keep her little home clean and organized. For being out on her own, she sure is doing a fabulous job! We see her every now and then when she comes home to visit, moments we love and crave!
Lorin is starting up the new year with a season of Track. Constantly running, the girl is sore! But when she's not running or dancing or doing all of her fun athletic things, she is at home helping out our mom or out with her friends! She and I just finished up our first Semester at Wakeland High School and took our exams. She recieved two B's and the rest A's!!! Yeah for Lorin!! Her Senior year is prooving to be a little tough but she just squares her shoulders and runs at the obstacles head on. What can we say? She's a beast at life.
As for myself, I am sick at home with Mono. It stinks of course, and I wish that if I must stay home from school for a few weeks, I would like to at least help my mom out with the chores. But alas, I have barely enough energy to get out of bed in the morning. Headaches preceded the diagnosis with much fatigue and a weak body. Doctor said that we should get an MRI to clear out the scary yet slim chance of a brain tumor then go home and rest. After getting poked six or seven times in the arms for blood tests and IV's, I went home to sleep. The next day brought on a whole new set of needles after I passed out in the shower and my mom rushed me to the ER. More blood tests and IV's to pump me full of fluid as I sat in the ER for more than four hours. Not a fun experience. My arms are bruised and my head still hurts. But before the mono came happier times. I am now the official singer of the National Anthem at the Boys B-ball games at my high school! This has also lead to my audition in Febuary to sing the Anthem at a Texas Rough Riders Baseball Game! This'll be fun. Our choir performed the totally awesome Renaissance Festival where I played the Jester and made the crowd laugh. I'm sure we are all agreed when I say this was the perfect part for me.
Brendan and Ethan are getting into shape for the new baseball season! The boys are jazzed about the tryouts that are moving closer each day! But at the moment, Brendan is playing on a Basketball team with a bunch of his friends, having a grand ole time. Ethan plays with his friends and is getting even better at his skill for reading. The boys are continuously outside with their many friends having air soft wars and chasing bunnies. It is actually alot of fun!
And last but certainly not least, Reagan. She has been admitted into Pink Elementary's DAWG pound! (This is a life changing experience you know.) The DAWG Pound is for students who are especially nice and helpful to all of their classmates and respectful to their teachers. She is thrilled and constantly wears her DAWG tag around everwhere all the time! She is so excited and pumped full of energy everyday and is always with her friend Bella (I did not arrange that!). She loves to talk on the phone with her friends (That is not a good sign) and spend time outside playing.
There's the update on all of us Empey's! Hope you're still awake! We love you all and hope you have a fabulous day!
