Not Moving After All

Well, a lot has happened since last we posted. Andrea's best friend decided to leave her husband for good. It was a long time coming, but as we know with receiving the gift of the children, even things you want to have happen can come as a shock to you.


We decided that instead of moving, we will help our landlord clean up the neighborhood. We've reported to him the major problem home in the neighborhood and he has promised to contact the owner and see about taking over as the manager to clean the place up. Speaking of that home, we watched a domestic dispute on the lawn (again) yesterday and our lawn care boy was arrested, yet again. It was just as well, he needed money and we had none to give, so he was coming over often.


Karma has now changed the color of her mohawk. It is a pretty purple at the moment. She's saved up some of her allowance and bought some hair glue. We'll be posting a picture of her purple, glued mohawk soon.

The kids' grandparents are visiting and taking them places soon. Andrea's mom and aunt have requested the kids from July 7th-9th and then Faith's father and step-mother are planning a visit on July 11th and 12th. The kids aren't fully aware of their trip with grandma and Aunt Peggy yet, they know something's going on but not when or where.

Most everyone has new glasses now. Sam, Aurora, Karma, and Caedmon had vision exams over the last couple of weeks. Sam and Aurora each got a new pair of glasses. Karma didn't want glasses, so the opthamologist said she could wait until next year's exam, because her prescription would be pretty light. Caedmon explained that he had glasses before, but he purposely busted them because he did not like the headaches and dizziness associated with new glasses. Taking this into account, the doctor wrote him a lighter prescription than what he really needs, in an attempt to minimize his suffering. When he gets his vision exam next year, he will get the appropriate prescription. Caed's glasses should come in this next week. Once everyone gets their new glasses, we'll take pics and put them up here.

So, that's about it for now, you know, more has happened, but there's only so much typing one can do in an individual session.
