YORK'S ANIMAL KINGDOM

We arrived early to work around Rebekah's schedule.

                                            Just a little excited

We saw all kinds of animal and had some great conversations.

Stood in front of the mirror that made you look funny.

 

                                                                   Austin and Gabriel  

                                             Hrutuja and Gabriel

                                               Rohana and Austin

                                             Rebekah and Hrutuja and Rohana.
            

At the end we went into the butterfly kingdom.

You could tell the little were a little apprehensive about the butterflies

And this beautiful one landed on dad's pants 

everyone was looking at it and then one landed on my arm.

As soon as Rohana saw one land on my arm she started screaming and crying.

Talk about sensory overload !!

After we got her settled down we went on some rides.

I never pass up the chance to go on merry go rounds with Rebekah.
And yes, that is Hrutuja not holding on.

Nate and dad on the bumper cars.

Practice driving because he is taking drivers ed. soon.

RIVER ROCK

Dad and I went to River Rock @ Sunday River (July 1 & 2)

                                          Schedule

                                          Selfie

                                          There is the stage.

Later in the after noon it rained off and on... uggg.
before the last band was to play we were told " we can do lots of things but
lightning is not one of them. We need to go inside for shelter...
So we missed Mercy Me because we went to our hotel before the storm came.
The next day we took a walk up the mountain and I was not feeling to well.

GONE

What a month..
 The week right after school ended the littles went to VBS.

 They had a great time !      Ocean Commotion..... Noah's Ark

And the week after that we had eye doctor and dentist appointments.
And during this very busy month we delt with PPRs for Rebekah and Gabriel.
Along with the once again NEW agency and their inability to NOT work with us.
We had to let the beautiful siblings file go....#*@?....ouch,....heart break !
I am at a loss for words.

JUNE ?

forgetting to blog lately........
I keep saying "I'll do it later "...

CARDIAC EVENTS

On the 8th got a phone call that no one wants to get.
My father drove himself to the hospital (early am) because of chest
pains. They checked him out and were going to release him when
his heart just stopped, he fell to the floor. They got his heart beating
again and sent him to Maine Medical Center. Where 24 hours later
his heart stopped again. A very emotional and stressful time.
He is currently in Rehab.

Rebekah's IEP meeting with Child Developmental Services was full
of we are short staffed, I'm not sure about equipment from inventory
or purchasing it ??  She has a lot of  unmet needs.

Met with yet another home study agency because we need an agency to
write the 2 year Post Placement  Reports for Rebekah and Gabriel.

We were suppose to go away for a week,  ha,ha   Cancelled !
We did get our deck fixed and stained ! And the shed cleaned out.

Took the kids to The Children's Museum in NH.

And at the end of the month my mom had a stroke.
