One week ago today we left Madison in Illinois. Today's post is not going to be about her. Today's post is going to be about all the things that have gone on since we left her.
We arrived home Thursday afternoon around 3 and Elijah had a ball game at 530. It was a beautiful night for a game and the Burrito even enjoyed it!
Isaiah wrote a paper for foundations of faith class at church. I am so proud of him for what he chose to write. He is a quiet, keep to yourself, kind of boy and he stepped way out of his comfort zone on this paper. I hope Mrs. Dee likes it too.
Amaris and Sam have both been having a difficult time this past week. I am not sure if they have always had a difficult time and we were just too wrapped up in Madison that we missed it or if they are responding in their own way to her absence or a combination of both.
Sam's kindergarten class at school has baby chicks and ducklings hatching this week each day we have a new number. Sam is very excited about this addition to the class.
Dominique had a flat tired on his way to school one day and ended up needing all new tires and an alignment on his car. OUCH!! He did a fine job finding a good tire place and setting up his own appointment.
We had Sunday lunch at Uncle Gene's lodge, food was yummy and it was really nice to chat with Uncle Gene.
Took Elijah to the eye doctor last night after school and it turns out the boy needs glasses so I ordered the ones he picked and they should arrive in about a week.
The Burrito and I went shopping yesterday with Aunt Cindi for Joy's bridal shower this Saturday. We had tons of fun and the Burrito remembered and LOVES Aunt Cindi!! We also discovered that he LOVES Buffalo sauce from Burger King. Crazy Boy!
I had CASA meetings this week and court next week.
We are preparing to take Isaiah up to Minnesota for his check ups. Always a stressful time as we never know if this visit will be the one when they schedule his next round of surgeries.
My brother is getting married May 31. Elijah, Isaiah and I are driving with my brother Philip out to Philadelphia to the wedding. We will leave directly following 6th grade graduation on the 28th. They are both very excited because Dominique will drive up from Baltimore to the wedding too! YAY!!
In between all this craziness we have had ball games and practices and life really does continue onward even if you don't feel like going for the ride!
