Day 225, Monday, August 13, 2012
Today we met with an emergency psychiatrist through Network 180. We needed a prescription for one of Simeon's meds that is pretty heavy duty. He needs weekly blood draws to be sure that the meds are not harming him.
Later the Place Family moved in for 10 days to babysit so we could take the 7 of us on vacation while they did child care for Cody, Simeon, and Meika. We were all on pins and needles over leaving Simeon home, but the Places were willing to give it a go.

Simeon's first full day at home again.
Rosie and Bonnie returned from their Bangla Bible Camp missions trip. Very thankful that they arrived safe and sound.
Later we heard that the DeCook family were hit by a drunk driver on their way home, and although thankfully no one was killed, they received serious injuries.

Day 222, Friday, August 10, 2012
Today we had to go to Hawthorn Psychiatric Hospital in Northville to pick Simeon up as he was discharged today. It was an uneventful trip home, and he seemed glad to be back with family. He desperately needs a haircut---I had asked them to get his hair cut a couple of times, but it never happened. He was there for 3 1/2 months.

Today was Sam's first time to show his rabbit at Fair. He is an official Explorer (aka Cloverbud) in 4H this year! He did quite well!
It was a busy day as I also had a dental appointment and Cheryl, Kaitie and I toured the Life Skills program that we were considering (and ruled out) for Kaitie.

Day 218, Monday August 6, 2012
Today is the first day of the Kent County Youth Fair. Our club booth banner is in the booth already!!! Mahree and Merica have rabbit breed judging and Mahree has cavy breed judging and showmanship. Mahree also was supposed to be in the fashion show and model her outfit, but we forgot to get her modeling narration card in on Saturday. They would have made an exception, but Mahree decided to opt out anyway with the bunny barn activities.

Day 191, Tuesday, July 10, 2012
Stopped at my son, DJ and his beautiful wife, Meredith's home last night---they are in the midst of renovating their home. Since DJ works long hours, has been ill, and needs some sleep, progress continues, but slowly! Here are Katelyn and Tyler who have also been ill.
It's good to see the progress that has been made on the house!
Mahree & Sam came along, and walked around the yard, and
visited...beautiful evening!

Allyson came over to help Merica work on showmanship---she's not at all confident with her bunny. Ally also helped Mahree go through showmanship.
Day 181, Saturday, June 30, 2012
Once again we have a foster kitty family! The Mommy is a long haired Siamese mix, tiny, and very sweet---we hope she finds just the right family.She had 5 kittens, and they came to us when the babies were about 10 days old---we gave them a birthday of May 8!
 |
| Mahree is the foster Mommy, and named the Mommy cat, Rue. The black tri-colored cat is Cinna, the light colored tri-colored cat is Brenda. The two grey and white kittens are Grover (the bigger one with the pink nose) and the other is Gale and he has a black nose. The buff and white colored kitten is named Percy Jackson! She named them all after characters in books she has recently read! |
This is the only picture I could get today with all 5 kittens---one of them is always moving!!!Day 180, Friday, June 29, 2012
An at least once daily routine---Mahree and/or Merica unlock the bunny barn, and take care of the bunnies. They are very faithful in their care of the animals! Proud of them!
Spencer enjoys playing in the water, and in this picture is getting the hose out. The kids like to play in the sprinklers, and we are so blessed to have inground sprinklers. They have favorite zones, and will ask me to put on number 7, or change it to 5! Sometimes they get the kiddie pool out fill it as well....
Spencer has grown so much over the past year. At 10 he is taller than I am, wears size 10 1/2 men's shoes,and his voice has already changed! So much for a very young boy to deal with---and he is rather shy to begin with---soon all his peers will catch up with him!!
Day 180, Thursday, June 28, 2012
Kaitie, Spencer, and Sam happened out the door, and it was fun for me to catch this impromptu photo of them! Love those kids!!!
Dora (the Explorer) is one of our two "barn" cats, who live in our garage. They come and go, and are becoming more and more friendly. Dora is Mahree's cat, and our other "barn" cat, Pippi, is Sam's!
Our theme has become frogs--for F.R.O.G.--Fully Rely on God! This frog's been swinging in our front yard for a couple of years now!
Day 178, Tuesday, June 26, 2012
The kids love to play outside in the sprinkler, and the hose often comes into play as well!
Mahree really loves all of her animals, and Purina Bree is one of her favorite bunnies---unfortunately Bree has developed a dewlap (check out the extra lump under her chin) and can no longer be shown.Monday, June 25, 2012
Day 177, Monday, June 25, 2012
Merica & Sam wanted to play with Play-Doh,
so I set them up on the picnic table---no mess for me to clean up!!
Day 174, Friday, June 22, 2012
We enjoyed a short time on the beach---I really liked this picture of Sam enjoying the waves!
It's our day to drive home, but we wanted to check on Uncle Tom first! Got to visit with his daughter, Wendy, as well as Aunt Jody!! Aunt Jody let Sam climb on Uncle Tom's John Deere! Merica, Sam, and I took a walk almost to the horse barn, and enjoyed the view of the cabin and their lake!

Day 166, Thursday, June 14, 2012
Merica, Jarvis, Lentee, and Sam went to VBS at Calvary (called CSI) from 9:30-12:00 noon on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Then, we had lunch and from 1:00-4:00 PM they went to VBS at Forest Hills Presbyterian Church on Monday thru Thursday! These pictures are from the FH VBS. On the last day they gave all the kids a blue themed shirt--SKY!
Sam is partially hidden in this picture, but as you can see, he is participating in the song! I was so thankful---last year, he sat down in the middle of all the kids and put his head in his hands---I think he was overwhelmed.....this year he participated willingly.
more pictures to follow---computer is acting up!
