Facebook Update & Family Update

They're finally off! The painful three, or maybe four years of braces is finally complete! Thank God, okay so I have to wear a retainer, but it isn't that bad and only at night, but they're done. Over, no more metal visible! It feel so weird to not have any braces on my mouth. Bro #1 says, that I look like the Doggie Denture commercial without my braces on.


Also, the next couple months the blog picture will be used from my cousins Tea Room. She is just amazing, and has recently opened her own business up in Cromwell, CT! Peggi is just so nice, and is working on her dream! Mom and I stopped by Tea Roses Tea Room the other day, and it is amazing! Congrats Peggi, we're so happy for you!!

"Can I Have My Buns Toasted"

I have to say, this is another Fostering related blog post, but it's a good one. Since Bro #2 has been in the family, Bro #1 and I have become a lot closer, before I was kind of a jerk to him, and Bro #2 has made the two of unite, because we really do need to learn on each other. Mom has dad, and Bro #1 has me. Now don't get me wrong Bro #1 still bugs me to earth's extent! But I guess I am a little bit nicer to Bro #1 then I usually am. For instance Bro #1 had to come to the library board meeting with me & mom, and although he was bugging me, he and I were both laughing. He is actually making me lunch currently, we're having cheese burgers. So I asked him if I could have my buns toasted. The look on his face was getting ready to say something, I quickly added "the ones made out of bread". He then said okay and went out to start the grill.

Even though we have out tough days being a foster family like yesterday, we also have our really good days like today and last night (Bro #2 helped me finish painting my bedroom, and apologized!). I have to say being a foster family has changed not only me, but also my family :)

Having a New Brother

My family became a foster family in December, a little bit after Christmas we got a Foster Child, he'll be known as "Z" on the blog. Well Z is the youngest in the family, and has some emotional issues, that the whole family is getting used to. We're also learning that even though Z goes to school, he doesn't know a lot that in my family we know and share openly. Yes I do admit, Z can drive me insane some days, and most of the weeks I can't wait until I can go to the library, but I never really realized what my father always said to me about my tone of voice, until Z came here. As most of you know, we're a very strong Republican family and share news about politics and current events daily at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Z on the other hand, has not been around that. For example Vice President Joe Biden, was on a talk show and was asked about his favorite movie, it took Biden a couple minutes to answer.

After the clip was done playing Z asked "Who's Joe Biden?" Mom and I were stunned, how could this boy not know who Biden is, but yet tell us why Obama should be President. They're has been many comments like that, and they still amaze us. Z isn't as bad as he sounds, he's actually pretty nice, he likes going to church, loves going to the library, and plays basketball. I have to say from a teenage standpoint having another brother isn't that bad. Well on his good days.

There will be more updates with Z and the family, hopefully good ones :)

Until Next Time
