The Restel Family Update....

Guy's birthday was fine - he didn't know that we had planned it!!! It was just us, Daddy, and Wanda we had a good time visiting. They are not going to go to Destin as of right now. They are just going to the stores here to work to have something to do, and not feel like they are cheating the company by collecting a check for nothing. Also, they got the $2,000 from FEMA, but anything more than that is a loan that you have to pay the government back just at a lower interest rate. They were giving out food stamps to the evacuees so mom suggested that Carrie go and see about it. She didn't want too! But mom told her if all these people that didn't ever work and don't pay taxes can get them then you should too! So she went today and got some. It is on a month to month basis, but it is enough to save if so they can restock all there pantry and fridge when they do get somewhere if they only get it this month. Olivia is now laughing out a little bit and turning over. She loves to jump! So Carrie went and got her a jumping thing that hangs from the door (like Brayden's) - she had one, but it is "floating" (that is what she says everytime she thinks about something that Olivia or they had that she hadn't thought about thus far). Between the jump thing and Mason's old exercauser she is having a ball playing. A few people have mentioned to mom about throwing them a hurricane shower, but Carrie declines the idea everytime mom says so and so suggested.... they are to proud I guess is what you would call it they don't want to ask people for anything. Olivia came over this morning while Carrie went to the dentist and Scott watched her after I went to work, then when Carrie came to pick up Olivia, she asked if Mason wanted to spend the day with her -- that will be the last time she asks that!!! He is wild these days -- terrible two's have hit and have hit hard in the Remillard household -- kind of delayed reaction at 2 1/2!!! Guy kept asking him how many months until you turn 3? hahaha He has started ignoring you, talking back in some foreign Mason language, and just running around like a crazy person jumping on furniture and crap he knows better than to do!!!! My sweet little boy has turned into a devil!!! He still uses his manners and is sweet and kind as far as loving on people, but WILD is not even the word to explain him!!! I know I know they are all like that, but he is trying to fit a whole year of craziness into the past 2 weeks!!! I spanked him hard today and my hand hurt afterwards -- he was crying Carrie wanted to cry because I spanked him so hard and she was upset so she starts loving on him -- I wanted to spank her then!!! So anyway nothing more her that just DRAMA as usual just a little more fast past that the norm -- since we have a wild child on our hands!! hahaha Well gotta go get ready for bed - Olivia is coming back again in the morning so Carrie can go get some more work done to her mouth. She is having to get a root canal redone, because it never got finished from New Orleans -- she had Skip the Dentist -- she paid for half of it and he skipped town. So talk you all tomorrow AND WILL ALL OF YOU START POSTING PLEASE THIS IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY EVENINGS IS TO READ ALL OF YOUR POST -- MY WINDING DOWN TIME AND LATELY I HAVE NOTHING TO READ!!!!!!

Love Beth

Sorry Beth...I meant to post yeaterday, but both Jim and I have been working a LOT of O.T. and it's just been nuts. No excuse though...I know :)

We both love how you've been keeping us all up to date!

I love the Hurricane Shower idea. How mad do you think she'd get if we threw her one anyway...and maybe just didn't tell her about it...SUPRISE! Honestly I'll help in any way I can. We might need to all chip in to get her a storage bldg until they get settled though. But still I think it's a great idea. People will respond well (I think) especially if they have something as "formal" as an invitation in their hand.

Just let me know. I'm sure it's all just "up in the air" now..

And to anyone else who reads Beth's blog...PLEASE respond to her so that she doesn't boycott the blog. PLEASE :)
 
I just read on the internet that large parts of New Orleans are opening up. Do Carrie and Guy know if their neighborhood is one of the areas opening up? If so, will they be going to there to assess (sp?) the damage?
 
I don't know I will ask mom about the surprise shower thing!! Also they live where it is still flooded -- right next to Lake
