Birthday Parties:

[gentlew0lf]

 Been busy getting ready for the girl's birthdays this weekend.  Rhiahannaen turns 1 on Friday, August 10th and Leigh Ann will be 2 on Saturday, August 11.  I've uploaded their birthday pictures, plus one taken of Raphael since we didn't have a 3-year picture taken of him.

 I'm working on the kids room, which we have painted.  We bought two sets of bunk beds.  At the moment all three kids are in one room, but obviously as Raphael get's older and once Rhiahannaen is out of her crib we will be moving the girls into my mother's room with her and Raphael will be in the middle bedroom.  We also bought the bunk beds for the possibility in the future of Adam's son staying over night once everything is settled there.  Thankfully it seems to be going well.  I Much prefer that things can be worked out civilally rather then dramatically. 

 I bought TinkerBell bedding for Leigh Ann's bed and Cars (From the Disney movie) bedding for Raphael's.  The Cars bedding was expensive!  O_O 

 We also got new carpet in the living-room for the FIRST TIME EVER!  It looks great!  I just need to finish getting the books back on the bookshelf, which are currently on the top bunk in the kids room, before I can put Raphael's bedding on his bed.  O_O  Wow, It's been one crazy, busy week.

 I also sent a couple of wallet pictures of Leigh Ann (Kylie Ann) to her father.  Trying to make an "Attempt" at being nice.  My lawyer told me not to invite him to the birthday party because he hasn't bothered or even tried to establish a relationship with her.  My mother didn't want me to send any pictures to him.  Yet, after seeing how things were able to work out with Adam's son so far....I figured I could at least make some attempt.  It's not him that I Hate, and my daughter does have a right to know her biological father.  Yet, as my mother always told me about my father, "I can't force him to visit."    I Originally tried to send the picture to him via e-mail and then through his Hi5 account, but the e-mail I have of his is no longer active and he has blocked me from his Hi5.  I didn't want to send the picture via snail mail as I'm sure he'll take one look at the return address and throw it out, or his mother will get it first, see the "Pictures enclosed" written on the envelope and keep them for herself, not even giving them to him.

 Yeah....whatever.  I'm sick of the drama and tired of the games.  I can at least be civil towards Kyle.  After this, though, I'm washing my hands of it.  If he calls for his visitation, fine...but I'm no longer going to worry about it.  Leigh Ann has a Daddy.  If her father doesn't want to be a part of her life, it's only his loss.
