Fall Mornings

Sierra still has that baby look while sleeping, but has soon as she is vertical she becomes a big girl.

Scooter

Mr. Farrell, a teacher at the high school (also husband of Colleen's kindergarten teacher ) tore his Achilles' tendon and bought this scooter for himself.  He has been gracious enough to let Conlan use it during the school day.  It has helped Conlan's mood as it is a great toy for him. Plus it helps with the long hallways.

Back troubles

Donavan hurt his back last Sunday during basketball.  By Wednesday he was in all kinda of pain and had to sit out during football.  I took him to our Chinese Guy.  Besides having his feet, calves and back worked on he did this suction cup trick.  Today he practiced for 3 hours and never once complained.  We tease that the aliens came and got him.

Colleen time

We made it to the homecoming game!  My girls love the camera!

Ebola Ready

The joys of Haz-mat!

Friday Night Lights

Massaponax is still undefeated 8-0!  It is hard watching Conlan crutching it on the sidelines, but he is being a great cheerleader.  He also still huddles with his O-line and is still their leader.  

   We have been having to keep a closer eye on Dman, as he likes to be social.  Thankfully we also have Sierra who loves to check on him;)

Thornburg football

Donavan's team is still looking for its first win, but D is doing great.  He is a team captain and Is on the field for everything but kick off return.  He loves to hit and hit hard.  It is fun to watch when he Is such the laid back kid.

Beach Day

Ray and I got a day away so we went to the beach.  It was great while it lasted.

RMC Volleyball

Sierra and I spent the day watching two games and then going to a reception at the RMC president's house.  Sierra loves the vball girls.  She doesn't even pay attention to Colleen.  She has a whole group of new girls to hang with..I am glad Colleen also has these group of girls to hang with.  It was also senior day. Bailey is the only senior,  and you can tell the love all these girls have for her.

Still My Baby Girl

Sierra this morning was sleeping in her infant pose.

I KNOW YOU

Ann and Brooke worked hard trying to improve Sierra's drawing skills.  Sierra drew a great picture, unfortunately it was on the couch cushion.

       On Saturday while Ann was interacting with Sierra for over an hour or so....Sierra looked at Ann and exclaimed

     I know you...you were in Colorado with us.

      So funny....

Brooke and Ann Visit

VCU was a bust for Brooke, but we enjoyed having them for a couple of days!

Poor Conlan

Conlan got back on the field only to get his ankle broken. His lower fibula is cracked about 3/4 of the way.  The jury is still out on whether he will have to have surgery, but things are looking positive.

  Conlan is learning just the basic things like going to the bathroom, getting water, putting on his pants is very tiring and hard.  Praying his toughness will shine thru the next couple of months.

Sweet Child

Sierra got her first positive referral!  Sierra said the principal told her about Conlan coming to him for positive behaviors.  I said and Donavan? Sierra said "He didn't  say anything about D"

D later said probably BC I only got one in four years.
