Q&A #143

So Renee....I'm thinking maybe a Kassidy Q&A for the 150th. Or the 160th. Either way, I think a Kassidy Q&A is in the near future. How does that sound?? =]
Ahhh how about the 200th?! LOL I would need to get on the ball and collect questions from all of you and then actually pull out the camera and DO IT! HA! Do you remember how long it took me to do Kameron's?! LOL

I'm poking around the Schwan's web site. It looks like they have some kind of referral program....are you in it? I could give you credit for making me buy some chocolate marshmallow ice cream.
I should be!!! Just put in my name and see if it comes up. I'm not sure how it works. If you need more info, let me know!

Are there 5 1st grade classes (and 5 of the others too)?? Wow! That sounds like a big school. About how many kids are in your classes? We have 3 of most grades with about 20- 25 kids per class.
Yep! I'm almost positive there are 5 of each. There used to be 6 Kindergarten classes, but they got rid of one year before last. It is a pretty big school and we have A LOT of Elementary schools in Clarksville... 21 of them to be exact! I don't know if they're all the size of ours, but I would guess that they are... and most likely the ones closer to Fort Campbell are bigger. In our school the kids average right around 20 per class, I think. Kennedy has 16 in her class which is small. I think she started with 18. Kameron has 18 in his and Kassidy has 21 in hers. I'm pretty sure the other classes are all around there as well.

Oh my...is Kellsey getting prettier and prettier. She doesn't even look like she did when she was in the Orphanage! How much she has changed! I know she had some teeth and hair issues from when she was in the orphanage. How is that going? Any luck in those departments?
Wellll... her hair is doing great! It's so soft and pretty now. I still don't really see much growth... it grows very unevenly. It's strange! I've ditched the pony tails completely. They were giving her a permanent cow lick! LOL A straight iron and a little hair spray has done wonders for her! ;) I think she looks much older with her hair down too... more like a 3 year old instead of a baby! :o) Her teeth... we're STILL waiting to get her into the dentist. Her appointment is April 5th. That was their first available. I have her on a cancellation list though so if someone else cancels they will call us. She needs to get in there BADLY!!!

I think Kellsey looks adorable! She looks so happy. I would love to see her with one of those HUGE bows in her hair! That is a "Southern" thing, isn't it? Like the one Eden had. (How did they get that to stay in her hair?)
LOL I think it is! I'm not sure how that bow was in Eden's hair actually! Maybe her mom will chime in here! ;)

Question...I've felt like your last few postings have seemed a bit sad...just kind of "off". Or, am I just "reading" something into them? ; ) Are you feeling down about Frank leaving? I know, silly question! Of course you are! I just feel like I want to give you a big hug. I can't do that, but I can and will be Praying for You and for Frank and ALL of those children you've been Blessed with! I know that all of them have experienced the separation and it has to be keep you busy (er) trying to support them emotionally, along with ALL of the normal "Mommy" stuff. I'm curious to see how Kellsey does without Daddy being around?
Thanks for asking! I'm ok!! Just had a busy week last week and then Kellsey's GI stuff threw me for a loop (especially with the drama at the clinic. I hate drama!) and then yes, all the emotions getting ready for Frank to leave... that's always a little stressful! We appreciate your prayers! We'll roll, as always! :)

are you using picnik for these?
Nope! I found a new site... LunaPic! And it's FREE! There's SO many cool things you can do with that site!

Just got a chance to watch the video, Renee. I love it! So much fun with all those little hanging around! Kennedy has GREAT hair! And the way she swings it around? Better be ready for the boys when she get older! ;)
LOL Yes, Kennedy and her hair! She is a crack up! She will put her hand on her hip and flip her hair over her shoulder! She's such a diva! haha Her teenage years are going to be fun! LOL

So, when exactly is the last train to Clarksville?
I'm not sure Jeff, but if you find out, we'll meet you at the station! ;)

69% for toilet paper
42% for zipper
38% for frozen foods
That's 139%. Who are the rest of these people? :-)
Hmmm!!!! LOL Good question!! ROFL

I would have totally taken his license plate number, gone back inside, alerted customer service, and have them page the driver to move his car or risk having it towed.
See! I never think of these things at the right time! I so should have! LOL These are the things that Frank always thinks of!

I think that it would have been fun to put a bunch of carts behind that truck that the owner would have to move before backing out.
I do find some of the parking at your WalMart to be a bit odd. A mix of parallel & pull into parking.
Again, dangit, I wish I could think quick on my feet like this! ROFL! I think our parking lot is odd too... I don't understand it.

This is a bit off topic, but my son, Peter, had his neck instability xrays last week, and I just found out that his measure was 5 millimeters (the highest part of normal is 4.5 millimeters). I don't know much about this (they don't automatically do these xrays in New Zealand and I specifically asked to have it done after reading what you wrote a few weeks ago)and just wondered what the measurements were for your girls. I think I read once that Kennedy's was 10 millimeters?
Now Kennedy had AOI which means that her gap was between her occipital lobe and C1 instead of the typical AAI which is between C1 & C2. Kennedy's was 12mm when typical is 1mm. I'm not sure what Kellsey's gap is. She hasn't had her MRI yet. I do know hers is more mild than Kennedy's and she has AAI, not AOI. confused yet?! LOL I hope that helps some! I don't know if I answered your questions or not! I feel like I just talked in circles! Feel free to email me if I can be of any help!!!
