I think it’s time to blog again. Our little family has been busy busy busy for the last month! We went on a vacation with my dad, Tracy and my brother to Utah, Nevada and Arizona. Everyone was on motorcycles but me… It was a long trip, but fun. Thomas was very good the first and last day, but in between he was just mad. He did not enjoy being in his car seat all day. After we got back from our trip, we went up to McCall with Gabe’s family. Some of Gabe’s Dutch cousins were in town, and all in all we had 23 people staying at the cabin! It was crowded but tons of fun! The more the merrier with Gabe’s family!
Our little chunky monkey is now about 13 pounds!!! He is in the 75th percentile with height and weight. I am glad he has 75th in both, it wouldn’t be as great if it was just weight! J He is getting happier by the day and is the light of our life!
Deep thought… It’s interesting how there are some people that you don’t have to love, you do, and others that you are suppose to love, you don’t. For example, relatives. I am very frustrated with some people on my Mom’s side of the family. We have hardly heard a peep from them since Gabe and I got married, but this wasn’t so surprising since we had hardly heard from them in my lifetime. Now that my mom isn’t here, we figured they would either try and stay in touch because she was gone, or lose touch completely. My mom’s mom, my Nana, but I call her Kay, is a little crazy. She was never really nice to my mom ever, and the more stories I hear about her, the more I dislike her. I do not know how my mom turned out as wonderful and Godly as she did. I sent all my mom’s side of the family a baby announcement when Thomas was born. I’ll admit, I did think this would raise a few eyebrows, and be a reason for them to contact me. The only person that did was my mom’s favorite aunt, which turned out really great because we got back in touch. Kay did something strange, she called my grandma (dad’s mom). She asked her what was this about me having a baby. My grandma talked to her a little bit, and then told her he was adopted. Kay simply said oh, they didn’t wait long enough. So, that made me mad, but then I figured I would hear from her. Nothin. I feel like I am suppose to love her because she is my relative and because God says to, but it is very difficult. I guess all I can do is pray for her.
This coming weekend Gabe, Tom Tom and I are headed to Spokane to set up one of my dad’s school locations. We are becoming professionals at putting computer desks together and getting the computers going. This will be the first time we have done this with Thomas, but it should be fun! The next weekend Gabe is going deep sea fishing with my dad, brother, and Tracy’s son Nate. I will be all by my lonesome with Thomas.
