Seriously, who could resist?




So, I've been MIA for awhile...

That's because I have had alot to do. I know everyone else does too, but I didn't have time to blog. One of the most rewarding things I have been up to, is watching the precious, adorable, little girl pictured above. (the baby, I've been watching the other adorable little girls their whole lives!) I took care of her for 2 full days and most of a 3rd day. She is such a good baby. She is quiet and smiles all the time. She does want to be held all the time, but I don't mind. Even Ken is smitten with her. I know some of you (my older girls) are asking themselves...how can she watch a baby when she gets so paranoid? I still got paranoid. I was touching her chest 50 times a night to make sure she was breathing. I guess I was able to do it because the alternative for her would have been riding around in a semi truck for 2 days with only her daddy, who happened to have to drive the semi truck. How can you care for a 5 month old while driving a semi? I couldn't stand the thought of that. Her mommy was in the hospital, they have no family here, so my heart overtook my fear. We all just love her. Liz was so cute when we had to take her home Saturday morning. She kept saying that we just couldn't return her, that she felt like she was going to cry. I don't think I could ever be a foster parent. It would break my heart if I had a child for months, or years, and then have to give them back. Kudos to foster parents! (good foster parents, that is)

In other news, I went to Kate and Ry's tennis match yesterday. They won, so they are still undefeated. We're very proud of how well they have been playing. They have another match this evening. Liz has been home the last two days with a cold. She hasn't minded one bit, though. :-) Today, is my last Tuesday to drive Ang for her radiation treatments. She is on her last week. Please pray that they have done what they are supposed to do. She has been through so much! It's Uncle Alan's 50th birthday today! If you think about it, give him a call, or send an e-mail! I guess that's about all for now. If I don't get going, I'll be late to pick up Angela. For those of you wondering where Liz will be, I'm dropping her off at the trailor in North Fairfield. I'll probably have to ask Pedro to check in on her, so "someone" will remember to! LOL

That's all for now!

Love to all!

Good for you, what peace of mind for the poor mom knowing she was with such a great family instead being strapped in a truck for all that time! She is a cutie.

Good luck Katie with your match!
