Boy drama

How can someone that loves musicals so much also love the look he gets from other children when he slaps them in the face? He looks innocent enough, maybe even a semi-happy kid. I am at a loss, how does someone that can be so sweet turn into a devil at school? We are out of our days of getting bite reports after filling at least 3-4 pages of victims and into the days of office visits. Any help here? Threats don't work, missing Scooby only bothers him a little, the boy hasn't gotten to watch "whospray" (Hairspray) in weeks......is this just a phase that will end at some point or the next 18 years of my life? Anyone with a boy give me some answers.

Valentine's Day

I spent the morning at Jack's school party.
So excited about getting to eat chips.

Then we went to Vivian's party.

Pup-cake anyone?
And after a long day of parties the children retired to their cage......they put themselves in there.

He's home safe and sound

Dave made it home yesterday around 6:30. We were so happy to have him home and to hear he and John Michael bonded some while on his trip.

Saturday around 4:30am

We set out for Ft. Smith early Saturday morning having no idea how to get where we were going or how the next few hours would go but we were excited about playing with the new car.......

The car has Onstar which if you haven't played with it, you should. We called in where we were headed and for the next few hours we watched in anticipation of our next voice-guided direction.

V-how will we get there

D-our car is very smart, it has a satelite in space telling us where to go

J-Daddy, I see it.

D-you see what?

J-Arkansas

Glad to be home

We spent the weekend with David's family in Arkansas, his grandfather passed away early Monday morning. I am always blessed because the family I grew up with but I always seem to long to be with them after spending time with the Romans' side.
I have come to appriciate my family more and more. I love that to them we must seem boring. I love that I don't go years without seeing my brother and cousins. I even love the fact that Mim's has nothing better to do than sit around upset that we didn't think to call her that day. We all have it so easy and I wouldn't trade places with them ever.
I won't go into detail (unless you ask) but I pity a family that is ok being strangers. I have even threatened to write a book about David's family......it would be GOOD.
I am glad that Dave and I got to spend time with John Michael, he and Dave have so much in common but grew up thinking the other had it so much better. Keep them in your prayers, pray they continue to get to know each other. Having a brother is cool and they really need each other more than they may think.
Also, Dave is driving back alone for the funeral Wednesday and will be there until Friday, keep him in your prayers that God gives him a safe trip and an open heart while spending time with his father.
