Well my baby is 2!!
It's crazy to think I no longer have a little baby in the house. We celebrated his birthday at the park across the street from our house with our close family members. He had such a good time, but had no time to open presents. He was just too busy playing on the play ground. His sister though was more than willing to open them for him. :)

I never saw it coming...
On Friday, August 19th I was praising and thanking my heavenly Father that I still had my babies with me.
My husband had been given the day off, but had school work to do so he sent Luke onto the sitters for a few hours to get that done. When getting to the sitters, she asked that Addam leave the car seat with her that she needed to run to Vinita, about 20 miles away, to purchase a gift for a wedding she was attending the next day.
Addam got done with his school work before she got back into town, so she dropped him off at our house at about 1:30 that afternoon. McKenzie had been at school all day and wouldn't get out until 3:10pm. When I got home at 5:30pm, we decided to drive out to visit with Addam's mom and stepdad in the Big Cabin/Adair area. We stayed out there until about 9:30pm before heading home. I had left my phone in the car and noticed that my brother in law had called me. When I called him back he asked if I had heard about our sitter, I told him no.
Come to find out, our sitter had been in a wreck at about 5:30pm that evening in Chelsea. Luckily we had a friend that came up behind her and was able to see what all took place. After pulling out on the highway from her house, she viered into the grassed center median and then corrected herself and went straight for a minute. She then again viered into the grassed center median again but when she corrected herself she keep going towards the ditch. Well instead of driving into the ditch, she drove into a concreted bridge rail, flipped her SUV back onto the highway and luckily not into the creek below.
When our friend got to the wreck he saw two little boys climbing out of a broken window. Thankfully they had their seat belts on and walked away unharmed. When our sitter got out, she couldn't stand up without falling over. When the paramedics got there, our friend told her that she needed to go get some help that she must have hit her head pretty hard. Well she tried to play it off that she was fine and that she'd be okay. Well after many times of telling her that she needed to go get help, she finally complied. The officer that interviewed her knew there was something wrong with her, he didn't need a blood test to know.
She was taken to the hospital to get checked out and get a blood test on her. They went ahead and arrested her for a DUI for drugs and she spent the night in jail. Of course the blood test came back and confirmed the usage of drugs. She should have got child endangerment added on, but the parents decided not to press charges. That I still don't understand. Nope those kids weren't hers, they were being watched by her.
I haven't seen or talked to her since that day. It has taken time to calm the anger that I have for this person. She watched McKenzie for over 4 years and has had Luke since he was 6 weeks old, to make it 2 years for him. I am thankful that God's plan worked out in my favor and that my kids were not involved in that wreck, because I know that McKenzie is old enough that that could stick with her for a long time, if not her entire lifetime. God's plan is so amazing and his time is so perfect!!! In the days to follow, we had great friends that watched Luke until we found a permanent sitter. The sitter we did find can normally take months to get in, but we got in immediately! We were scared at first knowing that the difference we were going to be paying could have been a brand new car payment, but you know what, we're making it just fine! AND, we love the daycare that Luke is at now. He just turned 2 and they read, they teach about colors, shapes, ABC's with the kids everyday! He paints, colors, interacts with other kids and gets fed top notch nutritional meals. Where he didn't get any of that at his other sitter's. I couldn't have asked for a better place!
