More on our update

I messed up and hit publish to quick, took the kids for their routine eye exams, I was sure Chad would need stronger contacts because he was starting to squint, Chelbug had been having a lot of headaches lately and in trying to figure out why it finally dawned on me while she is not a big reader she does spend a lot of time on the computer and texting on her phone. So Chad got stronger contacts and he got to get the ones that he can sleep in and only has to take them out 1 night a week and change them once a month. Chelsea did indeed need glasses, she wanted contacts but finally decided she would rather just have glasses, she picked out the cutest frames, I tried to get her to get these cat eye glasses that had lots of bling on them but she said I was crazy.... imagine that. Anyway, here is a picture of Chelbug with her new glasses, she said she can see much better now and it is much easier to read her text messages and work on the computer and so far, no headaches, YEAH!!!



Chelsea is starting her Junior year at the career center taking cosmetology, she will go full day out there and she is pretty excited even though she starts school 2 days before Chad.

Let's see what has been going on with Chad, he has spent a lot of time with his girlfriend this summer, her name is Michael. She came to a family get together we had to celebrate BeeBee's birthday, she is a very pretty girl, she will be a Senior and I believe she is planning on attending Pittsburgh Technical Institute, I may have the school wrong. Here is a picture of Chad and Micheal, Chad actually smiled for the picture which is completely out of character for him.



We had a very good time that day, we played washers, I washed out pretty damn quick. Someone, namely Doug I am sure broke the cardinal rule and took a picture of me, of course I am getting ready to feed my face with birthday cake, and you can see that our angel was looking over my shoulder laughing.



Did I say our angel was looking over my shoulder, maybe I better rethink that angel status.



Ron and Kathy were at the gathering so of course I had to get some pictures of the brothers together, I had no idea what I had let myself in for.




I am not real sure who they were trying to convince that they still had some big muscles but no one that was there bought it for even a minute but it was quite amusing and we did get a good chuckle.

I guess this brings me to Chad and football, he was chosen to be one of the top 5 players on our team to watch this year and he got to be on the WTOV9's High School Super Site, here is a link for the info on Chad, they have had some 7 on 7 passing scrimmages, I only have pictures from one of those but here he is going out for a pass.



These next pictures are of Chad on media day at the football field, the first one is Chad and one of his best friends Joe Hall, the boys have played football together since they were 7 years old, I call Joe by a silly nickname, Joe Joe the Wonder Dog, don't know why but I do and bless his heart he always answers me.



This one is just Chad, I almost coaxed a slight grin out of him, almost!!



These next 2 pictures were taken 7 years apart, Chad and Doug, these pictures are very close to my heart. I tried to explain to Chad that every time he runs onto the field I expect to see the Chad that was taken in 2002. We had just finished playing Salem at Salem and I snapped the picture as Chad leaned up against Doug, Chad still plays football like he did in Little League football, the kid is all heart and hard work and we are very proud of him.




This is the last picture, it was taken yesterday 09/14/09, this season will give Chad his 3rd varsity letter in football, his senior year he will be the only 4 year letterman on the team.



This has been a busy summer that is for sure, we have had more doctor's appointments than I have had in my life I think, hopefully things will start to slow down for us for a bit and we crossing our fingers and toes and I have said a lot of prayers that our summer dream come true. I don't think I will be letting so much time get in the way of posting on my blog... it takes to long to get caught up. So to all my friends who might read this, I wish you well and peace in your life.
