Dear Jeremiah,


Today is a blustery day. It’s been windy, raining and cold. Half of a tree broke off and fell back near the CC building and another larger branch came down out of a sweet gum by B104. they didn’t land on anything which is good. Sometimes they land on cars or carports. One time half a tree landed on a stair case. The clouds are moving pretty fast because of the wind. So every once in a while the sun breaks threw the clouds. I love fall days like this. Makes me wanna stay home in bed with a good book or a movie. Drink tea. I took the boys over to G&G’s last night and had a good visit with them. We watched the cars movie. I hadn’t seen it before. Grandma found some sheets for Bear’s new bed. So he is now set in that department. When we got home I put the boys to bed. But BooBoo decided that he needed to be awake so I laid him at the foot of my bed so he could watch tv. We watched A Walk in the Clouds. After that was over he finally accepted a bottle and went to sleep on my arm. I fell asleep too. Wes came in later and asked why I didn’t put him in bed and I told him I couldn’t pick him up cause my arm was asleep. So Wes rescued me. =) Booboo’s head was right on the vien that supply’s blood to my arm. Then I could finally change the channel on the tv cause apparently I was watching an infomercial for Girls Gone Wild in my sleep. The sound is pretty irritating. BooBoo can almost roll over completely. He is pretty good at turning on his side. Gotta watch him now to make sure he doesn’t roll off the bed. I don’t know how all this stuff with the boys will work out. It’s really hard to say. Ann says she wants to move to Eugene and make a fresh start. Then the next minute she says that she doesn’t want to lose the boys. It’s hard for Mike because he isn’t here. But at the same time I think its good for him to be away from her. I think it’s good for Ann to want a new start. I don’t think that she has the means to support herself and 2 babies. She is sorely lacking in life skills much less education and job skills. So I don’t know what she would live on. Mike called and left a message with his child support case worker for him/her to call him. Mike also asked that we call child support and DSHS for him to tell them that he has the boys since 9-11-9. so Wes called them yesterday, (I’m surprised they were working on a holiday) and told them about Mike having the boys for the past month. So they said that they were going to mail out forms for variation of custody. But that was about all. When we get them for Mike, I can fax them to him where ever he is so he can fill them out. We will just go from there. Mike dropped his load off this morning at 3am near Chicago. Now they are on the way to a small town in Wisconsin to pick another load up to take to Montana, well to Billings. So they will be driving thru Wisconsin, South Dakota, Wyoming and then up to Billings. Mike and his trainer are now driving as a team. So they can switch off driving and not have so much down time. Team driving also pays more per mile so Mike’s trainer likes that. Mike will still be getting paid the same base pay. Mike has been sending my email pictures. Today he says he sent a picture of corn fields. Says he wants to drive thru them like the movie Son-in-law. Haha. I got the shirts you sent us. Thank you. I really like mine. Very cool. I will put the boys in their shirts and take a picture to send you. They really need a cool Uncle like you. They have so many grandmas and grandpas that it gets confusing with everyone having the same name. they only have one Uncle. Who else is going to show them how to do the things their parents won’t? Sure Mike can teach them catch. Who’s gonna teach the dangerous stuff, like climbing the tallest trees, peeing on electric fences, blowing stuff up? Parents don’t do that. Well I betting get started on my work. I love you and miss you greatly.



Love Mom.
