Yea!

Audrie got her approval to visit Myk. So the plan is to go up for afternoon visit on Sunday. After that we'll head over towards Buckley and get the car seat that her aunt and uncle offered us. Their boy just got the next bigger one. :)

Quiet

So we are settling into a routine. Dave is back on the road. He is in Texas. Next he spends some time in Olympia. At least that isn't too far from home.
We got the contractor in to fix the holes in the 'girls' room'. Tanya came over twice and helped me get it painted. Looks so much better. We bought a set of bunk beds to go in it. One of the ones that has a full on the bottom and twin on the top. That way there is always room for Doug.
We are hoping that Audrie can go to Littlerock next weekend to visit Myk. We have all the forms filled out that will allow her to go. We are just waiting on the approval from the correction center.

Myk

So Myk moved to Cedar Creek Correction Center last week. I went up and visited him on Sunday. Boy was it different. I signed in and gave them my car key. Walked down a sidewalk to another building, showed my ID and was assigned a table. That is all there was to it. Visited with Myk for a couple of hours. We played cribbage. When I left I had to show my stamp and collect my key. It just amazed me.
Myk is doing well. Taking a chemical dependency class and a drywall class. Said he got his community card so he can do any job offered at the center. Right now there are more inmates than jobs, but he is ready to roll when one comes available. Said he was going to go to the NA meetings and started going to church. All things that are good for him. I just hope he can continue on this trend of moving in a forward positive motion.

Time at the Park

Cassie wanted to see Audrie. So we met her at the park near Clark College. Tanya and the girls went with us. The playground structure is very big there. Adrianna actually seemed more interested in the sandbox than the structure. Elizabeth only wanted to be on the tire swing. Tanya and I just sat on a bench and watched the girls play. It was a good hour and Audrie enjoyed her time with her mommy.

Thai Lotus

We went out to Thai Lotus with Amanda from work. Amanda has been wanting to see Audrie so this worked out well. Amanda just started working in a daycare so she isn't working with me much.

Audrie was wearing her hippy clothes and looked so sweet. She liked Amanda.

Camera Play

My camera does some interesting things. I was just playing.

Man

Today was clean Mom's house day. She had gotten up to see Audrie. She tripped over Hank, one of her french bulldogs, and down she went. Very scary to watch and know there is nothing you can do. She banged her head on the wall, her arm on a side table and knees on the ground. We ended up going to the emergency room to make sure everything was relatively okay. Broken bones would not be a good day. After two hours I went home to make lasagna for family dinner and she got x-rays. Pat picked her up two and a half hours later and brought her to Battle Ground. Doc said she just sprained her knee and got banged up pretty good. She is going to feel it a lot worse tomorrow. Good thing they gave her some pain pills.
