What to do

I have to personal service papers to my son, Thomas, and I'm just not sure how to do it. At this point in time, I'm thinking of just having someone take a picture of me handing the legal documents over to Tom. Being that this is a hearing for and about him, do I read all the pages to him? I could just flip through the pages and show him whats on each page. I can't believe we have to do this.
Laura, look for 23 pages of a notice of a hearing that you are being service to. It's coming registered mail this week. I bet you are as thrilled as I am. If you take this legal document to work and show your boss, will it get you that day off of work? Worth a try. Would be fun to have you and the kids in court with us.

Doesn't this look like a serious talk between father and son?
Could it be about driving, dating or sharing?
Maybe it's dad tell son "please don't tell mom about what we did last night."
Are they sharing a secret or making plans?
Is this just love?

Wonderful Weekend

There are no words to describe how proud, happy and how much love I felt over this part weekend.



















He takes the skid steer with him everywhere
Austin who can be shy, was not shy at all with us this weekend. He would talk to me and if he knew I didn't understand what he was trying to tell me, for most of the time I did. He’d grab my finger and take me to where or what he wanted and point. When Austin would ask about his Mommy or Dada, all I had to say is that they went out with friends and he would see them later. He was happy with that and didn't mind being here with us.

























We're BFF
Georgia knows she’s growing up and getting older. So when she would do something she was proud of or something a little advance for her age, she would tell every one “I’m a big girl now“ or “I’m a big sister“. Often over this past weekend she would proudly tell family and friends that she was Grandma’s big sister, I couldn’t help but to beam with pride. She also told me often that I was her best friend and I just had to let her know that she was my best friend forever too!

New Feeding Tube

Tom received a new feeding tube yesterday. I'm not sure if I like the new one yet or not. The old tube just looked like the end of a beach ball. This new tube reminds me of an umbilical cord sticking out of his stomach. Sorry, should have taken the gauze away before taking picture. The only thing I don't like about the new one so far is it's length. What I do like it this whole set up is so much easier on Tom when having to replace it. You can feed him without lifting his shirt way up. More then one port to feed him from. Less likely to leak.



















The old "button" it terrible to get in and out but is more pleasing to the eye. This button leaked and I think the acid in Tom's stomach was somehow eating away at it. Look at the red around the site. Tom received his first G-tube in May of '89......wow, 20 years of tube feedings...is that a record???

For Lambrina

You can't tell but Tom is very happy in this picture. He loves being sung to and "Happy Birthday" is his favorite song.


















Usually it's the back yard that floods and not the front. With the last rains both over flowed.

someone to explain this to me

Here is a picture taken of my nieces on stage at their dance recital in Toledo. My sister took the picture with her digital camera. I wanting some of the pictures she had taken with her camera. So I took the chip out of her camera and downloaded the pictures to my computer.
We are freaked out by this photo with the man on the right. Don't know who he is or how his face came up on this picture.

Happy Birthday to my Baby

Forever thankful for this blessing from God.

Sister's Party

Last evening was a birthday party for my sister. It was very nice.

Being we'll all get together again in 2 weeks for a family wedding, it was nice to hear about the wedding.

Hooray for my son

Told Tom if he wanted to give me a gift for my birthday I would appreciate him having a bm at school instead of his usual at home during the night.
Guess what happen today.
I am so Happy!!

Can't help but smile

Here is my gift from God.

Cute beyond words
