Changes, busy, changes

I have been so busy. We have also had a lot of changes.

Our teen was moved to a therapeutic home. He had intellectual disabilities that simply weren’t known. The main reason we had to have him moved was because he was very physical. Not to be mean, but just playful yet too physical. Picking a 5 year old up by his head type of physical. For the safety of our kids he was moved. I felt sad for him, he didn’t want to go but I really believe that he would have eventually hurt someone and I wasn’t willing to put anyone at risk.

We also had another kid moved, our 9 year old. He went to a therapeutic home as well. He was also hurting kids but on purpose. He told Larissa that he was like his dad, just wants to have fun and doesn’t matter who he hurts.my concerns were his lack of empathy, lack of attachment, and he was still seeing people. He was finally evaluated and they determined he needed a therapeutic placement. Sad thing is, everyone is relieved that he is gone. He has been here almost a year and was excited to go. He played with Benjamin often and we worried how Benjamin would react. He says that it is good because he was tired of being hurt. He left with a lot of stuff....

Larissa and I were also very busy going to Atlanta, 4 trips to Atlanta. We got snowed on going to runway class, photo shoots and auditions.

Some unedited pictures. It was freezing cold and she even got rained on! She struggles with the cold. She couldn’t feel her hands by the end of the morning but overall she loved it.

My goal for March is to post a little something every day! Come on back...
