Birthdays and babies
Happy Birthday to my daddy!!! Today he is 60. It's so hard to believe.
I called him and told him Happy Birthday. He said it meant a lot. But what he doesn't know is what we're going to do for him this weekend.
He has a play at church that he has the lead in. It's been a big deal for him to have us kids see him in this play. So me, Cass and Jax and my sister and her family are going Saturday for his play. What he doesn't know is that my brother and his family are coming from Illinois late Friday night! It's a total surprise. My dad will be very thrilled! Plus he thinks we're coming Saturday night for the play, but he doesn't know we're coming at 1:30 for his 2:00 surprise birthday party. He's going to be in shock. I hope he enjoys all that we are going to do for him. I know he will!
So Wednesday a caseworker is coming to the house. She's doing a background check on Jax and getting the paperwork ready so that we can get the baby. I guess I didn't explain things. Jax's cousin fathered a baby and nobody wanted him. So we are taking him. It's probably just for a short while, we will see. It's considered temporary. We shall see. We all have mixed feelings about it. It's going to be lots of work but I think the reward from it will be well worth it. This is a little baby that nobody wants. So he's going to come live with people who want him and want to give him a better life. We're excited, yet scared to death too. But I truly know it will work out. All things always work out with us. We have our good times and our rocky times, but in the end it always works out. That's because we're a team. We both work hard. She does what she's good at and I do what I'm good at. And somehow it always comes together. We have our moments, don't get me wrong. But we ALWAYS work it out. That's how it should work. Our house is a well oiled machine! She cleans and I cook. I go to work and she takes care of everything. When I'm at work she runs Cass to school and goes to basketball games. When I'm off I take her to school and run her around. That's how it works. Give and take. There would be more happy families in this world if they were all like that.
So anyway that's the scoop for now.
As they say..........times, they are a'changin.
