Beach June 2012

This is Jake and Mia's first time to the beach (June 2012)!  They both had so much fun and loved it!  Jake learned quickly not to drink the water but Mia...not so much.  Mia has this 'tick' that when she gets excited, she licks everything in sight and drink water galore.  Well she did that with the sea water and it made her sick...several times...but she kept on drinking. lol  She is too cute.  Jake got so sunburned I felt horrible. :(

Jake's burned ears :'(

Paparazzi

LOVE all his cute little faces!

He cracks me up how he sits back there with his "I am king of the world" attitude

My First House-Sam's third :)

It's official, our house is on the market (08/24/12) :'(. It is bitter/sweet. This was my very first house and I qualified on my own to get it. I have grown so attached to it and the neighborhood. Our neighbors are amazing and I don't think I'll find these kind of neighbors anywhere else. Much like when I left region 7 and knew I would never find co-corners like them in region 8. I was right. Hopefully the neighbor situation will be better. I am excited about building but still can't be extra excited as I feel I am being greedy. :/. Here is a link to our MLS.

Guardian Angel

Someone told me today that I was their guardian angel and it made my day and nearly made me cry. Ms. W called panicked from the doctors office because they would not see her daughter due to her not having a document that states she is legally this child's mother. She said she made many appointments on her day off right before school started and needed to get this done. I asked to speak with the doctors secretary and I fixed the problem with one email. Ms. W calls me back and is so sweet. She thanked me repeatedly and said ****I have been there for her through out the entire case and have always made things happen when everyone else dropped the ball. The case is now over yet here I am still helping her and dropping what I am doing to help her fix the problem. She wishes there were more people in this world like me because if there were, children would be better taken care of. When she becomes financially stable he is going to mail me a a dozen roses because she truly appreciates me.****

Wow! She said to me once during the beginning of the case that she thought I would be like all the other workers; judgmental with many broken promises. Then she said I have a way of doing my work that doesn't make her feel like she is doing something wrong all the time and that I have proved her wrong by actually getting things done with her case. How intoxicating to hear all those great things about yourself! THANK YOU Ms. W!!
