Choices and Consequence

The final long weekend of the summer is here, Labor Day! But of coarse no plans. For fear of a repeat of the last "holiday" we took as a family we are just staying home.

Friday evening was spent at Trisha's place hanging with the gang! I even got a little baby time with little Patrick as I had a few "things" for him. Haven't seen the little sweetie since the hospital. He is still owe so tiny, just over 8 lbs he is still weighs less then my littlest baby Isaac who was 8.6 lbs at birth.


I find it so sad that I will miss so many of his "baby days", I would like to ring Casidee's neck for taking such an important time away from the family. I know she doesn't see it that way at all. As she has said in the past "you know where I am", and specifically said prior to this disfellowshipping that it is "your" choice (ours) not to associate with her. She is a very selfish person, and doesn't seem to feel any remorse or shame for her situation...But she is right it is a "choice" and we choose to serve Jehovah, and she is choosing not to. It is certainly not the children's fault however, and despite the poor choices she has made, I know that we all will do our utmost to ensure that Hailey and Patrick will always feel the love of us all.

Anyways on the way home the children were having an interesting conversation about Paradise. It's so funny the way their little minds work. Olivia pipes up and says "I am bringing my Butterfly net to Paradise, I will run from Armageddon with it all the way to Paradise and catch some toads in the river." I had to laugh, so cute! Those two and their toads.
