It is hard to beleive that summer is coming to an end and that Angela will be 4 years old in a week. Summer has gone so fast. We were able to go on a mini family vacation to the cleveland zoo. It has been a couple years since we went last time, so we hope that she will remember it this time. She kept wanting to see the frogs. It was one of the last things we saw, because the rain forest was our last stop on the way out. She was able to ride the train and the bus. I tried to get her to ride the camal with me, but she would not even get near them. She enjoyed petting the sheep.
She has enjoyed the summer with Papa and Roxie's puppies, Cuddles, Tucker and Peanut. Peanut has now joined our family, named due to the fact that she is so much smaller then Buddy & Honey. Buddy and Honey are still getting use to having another animal in the house, but it is going better then I thought it would. The hard part for mommy is forgetting to look down. I feel bad, put I have stepped on her a few times. She is full of energy and it is nice to have a playful pup back in the house. Angela wants to play with her all the time, but after growing up with Buddy, our Akita, she forgets to play easy with her. Buddy pretty much lets Angela do anything with him, it is hard for Angela to understand that Peanut is to little to play with like Buddy. Peanut has learned to run and hide when necessary.
We spent two days at the Stark County Fair this last weekend. Angela loved it and even rode many of the bigger, faster rides. She loves to spin and get dizzy, so those rides were her favorite. She did not show any fear toward any of the rides. Friday we stayed until the fair closed at 11 and Sunday we were there from noon till 5:30. She just didn't want to leave and was exhausted and still did not want to leave. She came home Sunday and took a bath and went to bed for a short nap before Grandma Barb came to get her. They spend Tuesday at the Akron zoo. That was Grandma Barb's birthday present for her.
We have been working on taking Scotty's old room getting it ready to move Angela into the bigger room. She has gotten so tall that she is out growing the toddler bed. We got the wallpaper off and all the holes filed and sanded down. Mommy is off tomorrow, so I am going to start painting the walls tomorrow. We are doing the walls in lavender and then the window frames, base boards, door frames and doors in a darker pink. I am not sure what color of carpet we will put in there though. I am going to have to see what it looks like once we get it painted. We are then going to do the stencils (flowers & butterflies) in white. Because the walls were blue under the wall paper, we are going to do a coat of white on the walls first before we paint them in the lavender. We decided to use the same colors as her other room because we have purple curtains and I really like them and the valences are purple with butterflies on them. We have bought her a mattress and box springs. We have a metel frame that we will use for a while and get her an actual frame with head and foot board down the road. Her dresser is white, so I would like to find a white one to go with the dresser. I am really excited about getting it done and her moved into it. She will have so much more room.
She starts her 2nd year of Pre-School on Monday Sept 8th. Last year, her first day was her third birthday. It will be hard for me this year because I will not be able to be there for her first day this year. I can't drop her off and be in Akron for work by 8am. At least I was able to be there for her very first day. I know she is ready to get back to school and started asking to go back a few weeks ago. Her causin Jacey goes to the same school, but has been back for a week already. I think Angela misses her during the day now.
I am sorr it has been a while since I posted last, but I hope to post about her first day of school and about her birthday.
Thank you for stopping in to stay updated on Angela. Please sign her guest book and let her know you stopped in.

On Wednesday June 11th, Angela headed to NC with Grandma Pam, Aunt Becky, Grandma Barb, Jacey & Justin. They have all be going for a long time and this is Angela's first year to go. I have to say it was not easy foe Mommy to let her go. I do miss her so much, but she seems to be having a great time and does not seem to miss us as much as we miss her.
We were afraid that she was not going to be able to go. About a week before they left and two days left of school, she woke up with a very high fever. Daddy stayed home with her because with mommy's new job, I don't have any vacation time. He took her to the doctor and he was afraid she mind have apendesities. We had an ultrasound done and blood work. Thank goodness she was ok and by the next day she was back to her old self. I am sad to say that she did miss her last toe days of school. She does love to go, so I am so glad Daddy and I got her into a great school. She is so independent now and she is so smart.
Mommy and Daddy have enjoyed spending and Sunday with the family. Had a great time with Papa, Aunt Pooh and Uncle Phil. We moved Daddy's big computer back into the diningroom and I rearranged the livingroom. We also exchanged the lawn mower, so I got the lawan mowed and the livingroom done. I just hope Daddy likes it when he gets home.
Mommy's new job is going well and I work with a wonderful group of people. It is a very small office and a big "Thank You" to Miiark for letting me leave work early to be with Angela on June 4th at the Hospital and for letting me make up the time I missed. I really like my new job.
I hope to start working on Scot's old room so we can get Angela moved in there and get her a twin bed. She is ready for a bigger room and a bigger bed. I can't believe she is almost 4 years old. I am still so scared that I am not going to be a good Mom to her. I know I made so many mistakes with Scot and I am so scared. I guess all I can do is my best and I do beleive God gave me a 2nd chance.

What a nice change in the weather!! It is so hard to be inside. It seems like winter has been here forever.
Angela has hit another stepping stone. She is riding her tricycle all by herself. She is so proud and bugs us to go riding everyday. We are going to have to get her a new bike because she is so tall that her poor knees have bruses from hitting the handle bars. Aunt Pooh bought a new pool so I know she will look forward to swimming this summer. She was on their tramp jumping when I arrived to pick her up tonight. I know we are all tired of being stuck in the house.
Angela and Daddy played hooky last Friday and she was not happy about not going to school. I have a feeling that when school is out, she is going to be bugging us about not going to school. She really loves school and is doing very well. She is the youngest in her class, but seems to be keeping up with the other kids. She is becoming more independent each day. She is getting herself dressed with little help from us and wants to do more and more things by herself. We are so proud of her.
Mommy's new job is going well. I really like it and I like the people I work with. They seem like a great group of people. Michael, the owner will be in town next week, so I will get to meet him for the first time. I have only talked with him once, so I am looking forward to meeting him. Mark is a very down to earth and I feel that he and I will work well together. Vicente is one of the sales reps and he is a citizen of Chilli, so I have enjoyed getting to know him. He is young and I enjoy watching him learn, after being in sales for so many years. I can say i do not miss sales. Nick, the guy who runs the warehouse is young as well, but very polite and does a great job. Janice has been with the company for many years and has been a great teacher. I look forward to learning from her. Bethany is our accountant and also works for More then Gourmet. More then Gourmet is owned by Michael's son and is in the other part of our building. She is a swwwt person and has been helpful as well. Dana is our sevice/engineer person. He is older and reminds me of the 70's. He also is a great person. I have about 4 weeks left with the temp service and then I will start on their payroll. I am so excited.
The need to buy a second car has come with my new job because it is in Akron, so we know own a 04 Jeep Liberty 4x4. it is red with crome. I love it. I also realized today that we bought the PT almost two years ago. It still feels like just yesterday. It has grown on me and has become my car. it will be better on the gas going to Akron everyday, but I do drive the Jeep on the weekends. I really like it.
Daddy has been going to school to improve his photograpy skills and is hoping to start doing that on the side. He has always taken great pictures, so I know he will do well. I am really proud of him but I have to say i do miss him in the evenings after Angela goes to bed.
Well I think it is time to close this posting for now. Thank you for stopping in and visiting. Please post ibn the guestbook so Angela will see it is the future.
