Madison is very expressive and she has her Pappy wrapped around her little finger, she never wants me, just Pappy. If I go to the kids house without Doug she will look at me and hold her hand up and shrug her shoulders and say Pap. Sort of like yeah ok, you're here but where is my Pap? We were at their house a couple of weeks ago and it was so nice out we sat outside, Madison decided to shuck all her clothes and was having nothing to do with putting them back on. Some kid had left a bike laying on the sidewalk so she decided she needed to check it out.
I am pretty sure that this picture shows that she is in training to be the next Mrs. Al Bundy with that hand in her diaper.
I am not sure what is so funny to her at this point but something sure was.
For some reason Maddy took off running, she looked so determined to get to where ever she was going, probably to Pap.
Yeah she was definitely heading for her Pap, looks like she is quite pleased with herself now.
Chad has a special relationship with our dog Missy, he is able to get her to do things that no one else can, like here where he is using her for a pillow.
I love this next picture, Doug and Chad were messing around on the couch and Chad just kind of collapsed on Doug and Doug laid his head on Chad. Don't let those eyes deceive you, Chad is actually grinning.
The next 2 pictures are from the ballgame last night, it was exciting to see Chad carry the ball, I wasn't to fond of it when all those other players would pile on him like they did but I gotta take the bad with the good I guess. The papers said that he rushed 10 times for 49 yards, it sure seemed like more yardage but the statistician recorded 49. He had 3 runs that were called back, you could tell he was getting very testy about that happening, Chelbug said "Look at Chad, he has his hands on his hips, he is getting mad". According to Joe Hall she was very right, I guess he had a few words to say in the huddle but I can't repeat them here. Chad played a good game, he said today that his ribs, arms and calves were sore, he took a knee in the ribs on one play. He had told me he was gonna get me a touchdown for my birthday yesterday and he sure did, when they all came off the field after the game he gave me a hug and said Happy Birthday, it was very sweet and meant a lot that he would hug me in front of all his buddies but lord he was wet, sweaty and stunk to high heavens but I was still glad to get the hug.
Chelsea started out at the Career Center on Monday, the 24th and so far she is having a blast. She is working on braids and roller sets right now, she braided my hair the other night and did a good job with what she had to work with. She said I am going to be her first haircut and I am hoping that I won't have to wait until next semester for that!! She comes here every afternoon and does her homework, I have even got her coming on the days she does not have homework to study her terms for anatomy and the cosmetology terms she needs to learn. Friday they had a test in her Cos lab and she made 100, she was so pleased with herself, they had another test in there and she made an 85, she was not to happy with that one because she knew the answer but she flipped her terms so it made her miss 2 questions but that was all she missed. She is really coming out of her shell and getting involved in things at school and she is very involved in her church youth activities. We have our Pre-Trial on Oct. 7th, that is when they will assign the Guardian Ad Lideum, but if Kerry will agree at that point then it will be over and Chelsea can come home. So keep good thoughts for us on this, Chelsea wants to be here and of course we want her here.
My Johnathan started 1st grade this year and so far so good, he likes school at this point so that helps, he is getting so big, it just amazes me every time I see him how much he is growing. He looks so much like Steven did at that age. Steven takes him to the bus stop everyday and then Johnathan goes to Steven's after school everyday, I never thought Steven and Maria living so close to each other would work but they have made the right choice (most of the time anyway) to work together for Johnathan. Johnathan stayed with Steven the majority of the summer and I was tickled about that since that meant we got to see him every time we went to see the kids.
My doctors can't seem to figure out what exactly is wrong with me, they think I have some form of Lupus so I saw another specialist on the 25th, he said I definitely have symptoms of Lupus but he is not sure that is what it is, he confirmed the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia, he is the 3rd specialist to confirm that one. He ordered a ton of lab work, 11 tubes worth of blood and a chest x-ray, I got my blood work done there but I am going to have my chest x-ray done here. I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired and would like an answer to all this mess, hopefully this doc can give me one. I had lost 30 lbs when I got so sick but I am gaining it back since I can eat and keep it down, I would have liked to have kept it off but I like to eat. The way I was losing was not the way to do it for sure.
Well, I have rambled on long enough, shared some pictures and what new news we have, everyone please take care of yourselves, we love you all.
