TRACEY HAS BEEN A VERY . . .
busy girl since her last post. Lots of drama, but not much that would be worth reading about to many folks. Charleigh-Anne is growing by leaps and bounds and will be attending Kindergarten this year. At her pre-school graduation I almost fell out of the pew because I could not believe the performance that once shy little girl put on. "Who Stole the Cookie From the Cookie Jar" was Charleigh-Anne; her and two other girl with them singing it and her saying "NOT ME"! Even 4 months prior to that I don't know that she was courageous enough to do that in front of so many people. Growing up secluded as she was, although, by no means, not exposed to people, she was so shy and nervous; had her feeling hurt during her first year of pre-school by the tiniest things. Being so rural and having no virtually no playmate her age, she really got all she wanted because well, when you are 2 or 3 and your playmate is 6 or 12 or 17, you always get your way. Mt. Pleasant Pre-School prepared her well for Kindergarten with her education and also did wonders with helping her grow socially to "survive" the real world out there.For you out there just getting to know me the 5 year old has a 21 year old brother, my son Joey. You older followers know him as my cranky, but loving helpful, messy, greatest big brother in the world, ROTC, Boy Scout, argumentative, brilliant teenager. He's 21 now. And he's getting married on September 5th to our (Mom's) adopted daughter Tasha. Well not legally, but Mom saw her through High School and lived with her and Charleigh-Anne tells everyone that her sister Tasha is in TX and is buying her a Rapunzal dress. (Natasha is in the Navy, she graduated from the Boot Camp at the Grayslake Naval Training Center on May 6th, which Joey and I attended on a marathon trip, literally. (that's another story for another day but it started out with us leaving at 8:30pm May 5th from my house and arriving in Great Lake at 5am and supposed to be at the Command Center for check-in at 7am; didn't even know if we could get in our room, but we could and did, ty Comfort Suites of Grayslake, IL
We had a fantastic time.
Gotta run for now, trading daylight for darkness as dad would say.
