One Big Happy Family

Well, again, haven't updated in forever...Kara is now 21 and pregnant, Brandon is a doctor and Tyler's in jail!! So kidding.... Well it's official, I'm now a official mother of 3. We gained full custody of Tyler on Friday the 24th. That was the trail date, you know with all the witness and all that jazz. Well we never went into trail, as soon as Heidi and her public defender saw that we had a CPS worker and a doctor as our witnesses that we supeona'd (I really don't know how to spell that) they backed down, but not before the decision to pull him out of her house by the kids law guardian and the judge was made.

Her first question...what about Tyler's Social Security...I looked at her, my mouth dropped and I said "Heidi, it will come to us and go in his savings account just like the rest of the kids" she said oh...ok. Then after a little conversing we left, got 100 feet down Arsenal Street and she calls my cell..."One thing that wasn't discussed was Child Support" I started to laugh...and responded "Heidi, we can't get blood from a stone, you don't work and how do you expect us to gain money from you, we are not bad people, and we aren't worried about money, when you have Tyler, all we ask is that he is taken care of as he is taken care of here" "Oh...ok" It was her weekend this past weekend and needless to say he was back at 5a.m....yes 5a.m. on Sunday morning. He has to go back for one night overnight with her (Monday nights) and dinner on Thursday nights. It won't be long and she will stop seeing him just like Brandon...she hasn't seen Brandon since July 19th, but really whos counting. I was advised to wait 6 months (which will be January) and file for adoption on Brandon. He wants nothing to do with her, calls me Mom, Mommy, etc...and understands why she is the way she is...he is in counseling once a week, but he still understands.

Kara, my wild child is growing and making me laugh more every darn day. She now makes this face when shes excited or something amazes her and we call it her "O" face. She makes the darnest faces and noises. Of course...yes...she's spoiled rotten and I really don't know why I pay for birth control cause she is the perfect pill I've ever had to take...sleeps right between us, cuddled up to her daddy of course...Everything is Mom Mom...mamama...until Daddy walks in the doors, she books over to him with her mouth wide open (signaling a kiss). She will be 9 months tomorrow and we are looking foward to her first halloween as a COW...haha...whole other story, but to make it short, her biological maternal grandfather, if he claimed her...hates cows and calls lowville, cowville, I for one, think it's quite hilarious. She will be cutest MOO COW I have ever seen.

Tyler continues to make great strides and we are starting the potty thing this weekend. Brandon and I were at Walmart tonight and I bought diapers and underwear in the same isle, and I looked at him and said "this looks funny huh"? he said yea, kind of pointless. He is going to school with me 2 times a week and gets speech both days, he is talking so much more and actually talking in English, he says the funniest things and tries to use sign language (he's taught in school).

We are one big happy family, and enjoying being newlyweds, for what we see of each other!! Thats all for now!!! xxooo
