If you have learned anything about Caed this past year, it would probably be his love for TURTLES!! Well, you can imagine his delight when I saw this little fellow walking across the street and up into our yard this morning. Caed was thrilled...yet uncharacteristically cautious. I assume he's learned from his experiences with "Timmy" (my parents' turtle) that it's best to stay quiet and calm. Caleb however doesn't know this rule, so Caed made sure he kept him at a good distance as not to scare our little friend away. He literally sat in the street for a very long time just waiting and watching, but finally gave up when it was evident Mr. Turtle wasn't going to budge with an audience. We went inside, and I kept a periodic watch to see where he was off to next. The last we saw he had made it up into our flower beds, but......then soon vanished. Caed has been so disappointed ever since. Mr. Turtle even made his way into Caed's bedtime prayers tonight (hoping he found his family).
We have had a good, non-eventful (which I praise God for) week. Reagan has been attending an Art Camp up at the high school in the mornings, and the 2 boys and I have just been up to the normal day-to-day grind here at home. We are still awaiting the results to Caed's lab work from last week, but are expecting to hear something tomorrow. He has been struggling a lot with one of his legs (knee) probably for the past 2 weeks. He will usually come to us at least a couple times a day crying in pain. All we can do is give him Tylenol, and thankfully it seems to help pretty quickly. And of course........the usual push of his ORS (drink)!!!!

Too bad Mr. Turdle didn't hang around--Caed would have taken really good care of him and he would have a good home. I loved the pictures. Caed was really watching out for Caleb or was it Mr. Turdle he was protecting. And how content he was to just sit and wait for some movement on the turdle's part. Looked like a good way to cool off running thru the sprinkler. Did Caleb not want to join in? Guess, he doesn't like the water in his face. I'm so glad "mommy" loves to take pictures. Happy y'all have had a good week. We need to see some of Reagan's "art work" soon. Hugs and kisses--Grammy
I do so look forward to your posts. It is so great seeing the kiddo's having fun. The pictures are worth a thousand words.
Praying for good test results.
Mr. Turtle is just another chapter in the future autobiography of the 'TURTLE MAN'. Just wait and see. Before you know it, he will have knocked out his front 2 teeth with a chainsaw!
