Here's a picture I took of us in the mirror, this kid makes the funniest faces!!


Rock on!! Notice the green marker on his hands, lol!!



Well lets see... I got some news today. I should back up a bit for a second and fill in some details. My son's biological father, Rob, has not contacted us in almost a year. When we were together he became quite the alcoholic and I left him right before Jacob's 2nd birthday.

In the last couple of years he started doing some harder drugs. He was in and out of Rehab. Well at some point he got arrested for fleeing a police officer. From what I heard his friend went into a liquor store, stole some beer and the cops started chasing them and he eventually pulled over because he obviously wasn't gonna get away. So he was supposed to stay in this rehab program until his court date but instead he just left and ran away to Ohio. At this point he now has a felony warrant out for his arrest and on top of that a warrant for non payment of child support.

Well, now the news. He got picked up in Ohio and is being transported here to the Genessee County Jail. I got something in the mail today from the friend of the court saying he is going to be held untill he pays some money. He also has the felony he has to deal with.

This whole thing is so embarrasing to me. How did I get involved with someone like this?

Now I have to deal with the possibility of Jacob seeing him. This is something that will be done with my supervision of course but what about the pain it is going to bring Jacob? We do not talk about Rob in front of Jacob so that he can come up with his own conclusions about him, I do not feel like I have the right to urge him to feel a certain way about him. He has his days where he misses him and wants to write him or call him and I have to tell him we don't have his phone number or address. If you ask Jacob what his dad's name is he will tell you Mike. According to Jacob he has broken up with Rob and he doesn't think it is cool to have 2 dads anymore. While I would never force Jacob to see him I will also not keep Rob away if Jacob wants to see him, again supervised. I just hope it doesn't come down to me having to go to court over all of this. I still keep in touch with Rob's family, they are really great people who always back me up on these situations. They always invite us over on Holidays and treat us like family. His Mom and Grandparents always tell me how happy they are that Jacob has Mike in his life.

As much as this pains me I too am happy we have Mike. He has filled a void in Jacob's life and I can tell he loves him as much as I do.

I will keep updating on this whole situation.
