angel garden for the angels (Clayton, Emma, Savannah and Jace Marie)A lot has happened in the last 2 months-Jace is now 7 months old, Emma is now 20 months old. Our niece Savannah is 17 months and niece Abby is 6 months tomorrow. Our nephew Daniel is 7 months old now, not a crawler yet, but soon, and Nathan will be 4 in 4 months. Next week is Easter, we arent celebrating, and the following week or so is Mothers Day and hopefully Jace's headstone will be up by then. Then as we all know its Memorial Day. I was talking to my grandma tonight and I think Im going to have a birthday dinner to remember my Grandpa Sheldon by. Fresh corn on the cob, whole garden tomatoes, burgers or steak on the grill, fresh strawberries in cream and sugar and 7 layer salad. My mouth is watering already and its 2 months away haha. Josh got the full time position and is now permanent with the company, he had his first round of training in Peoria last week and passed his HAS-MAT test with literally flying colors, he tied for the highest score out of 11 people, he leaves this Sunday for his fire fighter training and will be home Friday. So tonight whats on my mind is "one way streets". Why do some relationships only seem to be one way? Like we go see my family all the damn time, but they can never come see us because and I quote "the neighborhood is not safe and there are homeless people". REALLY!?!?!?!? Our neighborhood is inner city, but most of the neighborhoods are around here, and every city and town has homeless people. Grandma meets us in a neighboring sister city, which is fine, she makes an effort, seems like shes the only one who makes the effort. The other thing I am battling with in my head is, neglected kids taken by DCFS. I know a family, who has a 3 bedroom house and 8 people living there, and one of the family members threatened to call CPS on them and the DHS. Why? If it wasnt for these kids grandparents, then yes, they would be having issues, but the grandparents take such good care of these kids, and to take them away from that just seems so wrong. Granted this old bat is a little off her rocker, but still. Its not even cool to joke about things like that. We moved our dining room back into the kitchen and started putting up some baby things yesterday. Pretty cool, seems like life is making a full circle, in a good way though. Well Josh is home-off to make grilled cheese with tomato and tomato soup for dinner-
