Been out of touch for a few days...had to get a 50th surprise bday for my mother-in-law together. It went GREAT! Of course, we've had to lie to her for a month, but her reaction was soooo worth it!!! It almost didn't happen...I was sick for two weeks, then SHE was sick the week of the party...AAAAAAHHHH!!! She was REFUSING to go to dinner with me & a few of her friends for fear of getting us sick. SOO, we finally got her out of the house & to the party place. The girls were the first ones to yell HAPPY BIRTHDAY & SHE LOVED IT!

The girls are loving dance class & AWANAS. Mosnter is so happy in her Daisy troop. In fact, we had the Troop's Investiture ceremony last week & she is still talking about it.

We went on Monster's first field trip Friday (to the Zoo) & then had her parent-teacher conference. She is doing PERFECTLY & is right where she is supposed to be. We're still working on not talking at inappropriate times, but if that's all, I think we're doing great!  She takes after me on that one.  ;)

Monkey is still my little energizer bunny. I don't know how I'll keep up with her in a few months...HA!

Denied.

YAY..."Her royal craziness" did NOT get her appeal!!! IT WAS DENIED BY A UNANIMOUS DECISION!!!
We are so glad that everything is finally over so that we are able to move on with our lives. We know it isn't "over & that it will get ugly in the coming weeks/months while she deals with her own emotions, but we are ready to stand strong for Ashley's sake.
THANK YOU TO YOU ALL FOR YOUR THOUGHTS, PRAYERS, AND WELL WISHES! We are so blessed to have family & friends that have helped us through this difficult journey. Always remember that God will answer our prayers, even if not in the way we expect.
