Wow...you guys are hard to keep up with....I try to comment on some blogs, but some of them were written a week or two ago so I wonder if you see my comments. Anyway......
Jodi - Ann can relate to the whole stress thing......I'm sure you two could vent together?
Ron - thanks for the kind words - I really do feel other peoples' pain - how did you know that?
Zach - I didn't get any of that "making things with my hands" gene....I know Jim and Dave did..........consider yourself lucky.
The rest of you - Hi!
We've been busy with track, dance and baseball. Today Adam had a base hit, caught a fly ball in center field, scored his teams' first run, and they won their game!! And that wasn't the highlight of his day...
He has grown up so much lately. He has moved from the holding hands stage with me because he trusts me to protect him in a large crowd.....to saying, "Dad, trust me.....let's go." And off he goes......through the Metro Dome, me 20 steps behind him trying to keep up. Tonight we went to a Twins Game - Adam would say we went to a Red Sox game - his favorite team. I thought it would be a good idea to sit in the left field seats and try to snag a homerun ball during batting practice. He thought we should be across the Dome above the Red Sox dugout trying to get the attention of his favorite player, David Ortiz. We settled in with dozens of other fans along the first base line and waited. Ortiz came to home plate to take his turn at batting practice. We were amazingly close to lots of players. I didn't have a camera - loser! Ortiz took several turns at bat. At one point he hit a foul ball that ended up at his feet. He picked it up and left the batting cage turning right towards Adam. He made eye contact with Adam and Adam held his hands out as if to catch a ball. And sure enough, Ortiz tossed him the ball.......I'm thinking @#$% because I forgot the camera......Adam was so excited that we could have gone home then and there and that would have been fine with him. I'm learning to trust him.....he's not a little kid anymore......which really kinda hurts now that I think about it. Like I said, "When did that happen?"

Hooray for Adam!! Did he sleep with the baseball?
Several teachers at PC have been stranded and then unstranded and now may be stranded again. Its a mess. I hope things work out for Ann!!
Love ya,

Sweeeet!
I did reply to that post. It said "Why didn't you give David a different body?" but I never saw it posted.

Chard, I kinda feel the same, sometimes I don't go on here for a day or two and oh my gosh, where did that blog go?? Anyway, I heard about Adam getting the ball; I am so happy for him. Ya know, Bruno and I have noticed such a change in him over the last year, yes he has grown up!! I imagine that it is hard to let go of his hand, he's your 'little boy'. He had told us a couple weeks ago that he is a Sox fan, so when I heard you guys had gone to the game I was excited for you guys!! Brent is going to the game on Thursday afternoon with his Special Ed class and they have an extra ticket so Bruno gets to go with them. Since Brent is coming from Grantsburg, Bruno will just meet them there. And he is just so excited to go to a Ballgame with his boy. As I imagine you were yesterday.
Love you Brother.

That is wayyyyyyy coool!

Richard, It's kinda weird that I am younger and maybe giving you advice, but I do have to say I totally get you starting to trust Adam.
It is the hardest thing I ever had to do, ecspecially after Tyler got into his
bad,bad things. It took over a year to trust him again , and now when he says well I'm gonna drive to the concert and to prom etc.. and I know it's different levels of trust but trust all the same. I chalk it up to this: maybe we just worry and don't want to see our sons get hurt and see them have pain? IT SUCK'S. I do the same thing with Jamie and Michael. I have always been told that I take care of others before myself, but how do you not? you tell me your older dammit! and as to Anne, I will call her and let her vent her heart out, that has got to suck #&$($&. not knowing the unknown.
Love Toad
