The past week or so has been an active one. On June 10th, we had a court date for the custody of Dylan and Jonathan. Court was scheduled for 5:00 PM and only allowing 1 hr for the entire case. This ended up being an error by the court. Fortunately the case was continued till August 26 at 3:00 PM and allowing 4 hours for the for the case to be heard. The bad part was that the case was continued after both sides arrived at court for the hearing. But it allowed me to see what kind of defence Michelle is planing to mount. Her defence is nothing short of a character assassination built on lies by her family and friends. Luckily for us, her lies are without merit and easily defensible. Also the custody evaluation completed by the court appointed evaluator recommend that Dylan and Jonathan be placed in my “sole physical custody”. This evaluation carries a lot of weight with the court. The bad thing is, is that Michelle, who was in complete noncompliance in the evaluation, has been granted a second chance to come into compliance by the court, but I’m not to worried.
The boys and Grace are doing great. They have been having a lot of fun together. On June 14, the three of them had a lot of fun playing outside in a small children’s pool. They were running around the pool, getting each other wet. They spent several hours outside running around and using every ounce of energy they had. Later that day, Mandy took the kids to Indianapolis to see her parents. Mandy’s mom took the kids to Walmart and bought them some gifts. She bought each of the boys an outfit and a toy. Dylan got a small train set (because he has really been into trains lately, especially Thomas the Train). Jonathan got a toy cell phone since he has been really getting into the phone.
The kids are also getting used to our newest family member, Lucy the cat. Mandy thought it would be nice to get a cat for the kids and to keep her company while at work. Lucy is about 8 weeks old and with black fur and green eyes. She has quite the personality and loves to play. Lucy as taken up to Mandy quite a bit and is extremely patient with the kids. I cant believe how much she has grown in the week or so we have had her.
Any-case, that’s about all I have for now. I’m sorry for not having any new pictures to post, but Mandy’s camera is on the fritz and mine has no batteries. I plan on having some new pictures to post the next time i write.
