Happenings

Well, I worked this weekend. I didn't reallly have a bad weekend. Although, Sunday was hard for me. I got pulled from the personal care unit to the brain injury unit. It was so hard to see them all in that shape. I am telling you, I just was emotionally drained by the time I left that unit 12 hours later... I then went to the unit I usually work to find two of the people working over there were just trying to upset me by forcing me on an assignment that I had never had. I just decided to do the good thing and take it with stride. I got the assignment done with no problem, then one of the two were having trouble with one on her assignment (which is the assignment I always have) so I told her that I would deal with the person. She said, no, you will need 4 people to deal with this person. I went in the room anyway, did what I had to do and got out with no trouble at all! When I told her and the supervisor, they neither one believed me! I mean, a lot of the time, it is the rappore that you build up that he patients react on. This person trusted me because I have worked with her in the past. Kenzie and Maddie went to Mom's this weekend and had a blast. Ryan had some time to himself. Then today, we got Kenzie off to school and while she was at school, it gave me time to get some pics of Maddie.... so here they are...

"I like books" and so I thought it was a cute time to get pics of her!

And here, she is reading to me! It was so cute. Yes Carol, that is the book you sent her for her birthday.... It plays the birthday song! So cute to see her finally interacting with it!

"Look Mommy, My Book!" She decided she would try and share the book with me. She is growing up so fast! And I can't believe that she is already 15 months old! She is such a big girl now. And we go to the doctors on Sept. 6 for her 15 month appointment. "Mommy, this is how you read a book" and so she teaches me also!

I have decided to start teaching her baby sign language. I will keep you updated on how this goes. I have to send out a big thank you to Beth for the link she sent me for teaching baby signlanguage. I sure do hope she catches on like Isabella has!

Other than that, not much going on. I will post again when we have somthing more to say!

Love,

Ryan, Dawn, Kenzie, Maddie and Angel

Kenzie's day at school

Kenzie got off of the bus screaming, "Mom it snowed!" It was so cute. Then when I got into her backpack, I found her daily sheet with this on it... Kenzie had wrote her name (not perfect but she tried) and a note from the teacher above it saying "INDEPENDENT WRITING-- ONLY VERBAL PROMPTS!" I am so excited for her! We are definately getting somewhere. Then under the teacher comments part, I find... "SHE CAME IN TELLING ME IT WAS SNOWING-- SUPER EXCITED!" I too saw this when she got home! Construction Zone Newsletter Week 2 Dear Family, This week Kenzie will learn about solving problems. Using the topic "Build with Me," we will read stories about building things and working together to solve problems. You can help your child learn more by talking with him/her about things she/he is doing at school and the new letters and words that he/she is learning. Here are some ways that you can work with your child at home. Think and Talk: What did y...

And WINTER is here!

I look out the window to see.... A BLANKET OF SNOW! It is covering my driveway, walkway, yard.... and we are expecting more this week! I think it is safe to say that winter has finally decided to come! Don't get me wrong, snow is pretty, but I don't like it because that means I have to drive in dangerous conditions! I would much rather be driving in tropical storm force winds and rain (I have done this! When all the hurricanes were going through Florida a couple of years ago!). Now on to other things... Saturday: I had a really busy day. I was at work and didn't think it would ever end. Admissions and falls and sending people to the hospital... stabalizing others and stuff that goes on in the health care centers all the time. Sunday: Zach forgot to add me back into the schedule, so I got off at 2pm. Rode home with Maxx since he lives in Jeffersonville and Ryan and the girls were going to be at his house anyway. When we got there we watched a little of the game an...
