Just The 6 Of Us

THANK YOU JESUS!

We just got a call from he DE State Police. I am waiting for my husband to come home so we can pick her up.

I will update later, with more information.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE!!!!

Please, I do undestand that everyone is trying to help but do not tr ad break into Casey’s or Susan’s email or Myspace pages. As of right now my daughters email address is locked out and will not be available for 24 hours. My husband is an IT Specialist and is working on it, so I know that you are trying to help but now he can’t even work on that today. If Susan tried to get into her email she can’t now either. Thanks so much for your understanding in this matter. All help is really appreciated with prayers and flyers.

I didn’t get much sleep last night, up with worry. As the days go on my mind races towards all possible senario’s. Anything could have happened now. I just pray she is safe, hidding out with a friend. She still has not turned her phone on and the myspace pages have not been logged into since the 23rd. I keep watch and keep dialing over and over again praying each time I get something, anything.

I have called her school this morning and they are getting into her locker as well as talking to as many students in her grade as possible. At this point we believe there has to be a 3rd party involved.

Some people have asked how I m holding up. I am better this morning than in past days, but staying on the computer and having the phone next to me keep me pretty busy. With updates and emails, I feel like I am doing more than just sitting on the couch waiting, which is tourture. This keeps me focused.

I will come and update more after I hear back from the school.

A very nice lady, whom I have never met, emailed me today with a tag number of a car. She spotted 2 girls in a car that sort of fit the description of the girls. I called the police in hopes that they look further into this lead. It is worth a shot. Anything no matter how small is important. Again, thanks to everyone that is emailing me and posting at the message boards for support. All is very appreciated.

I want to thank my friend Lori & Rachel for preparing 3 meals for us. Cooking is one of the things that I just don’t want to have to do right now. Your visit today was very uplifting and comforting.

One super duper thanks to the members of my playgroup, who banned together and got the word out there faster than lighting. Your work has done wonders for getting her picture out there. I love you guys tremendously.

Susan where are you? Are you ok? Are you hungry? It was cold this morning, are you inside somewhere? It’s going to rain today and most of next week, god I hope you are not outside. Please call home, please turn your cell phone on.  Please remember what I taught you growing up about strangers, hitchhiking & drugs.

It is so hard to sit here and wonder where you are. To not get into the car and drive all over the state of DE looking for you. But I have to sit here in case you call or come walking up the driveway. I am full of guilt, because I think I should have seen this coming. I should not have dismissed your feelings for Casey as trivial high school romance. I should have seen that you were depressed. There is so much I think I should have done.

You have no idea how many people love you. The network of people out there looking for you. I can even begin to tell you, it is in the thousands now. Your picture is every where. But you are not.

Just call home or call your grandmother, if you are scared to call home. These are the things I want you to know. Maybe if I write them here, somehow you will feel them in your heart an know what I am thinking.

As of this morning there are no updtes as to where Susan is. I have just gotten off the radio with WGMD and hopefully someone will be listening and see her. She is also listed with The National Center of Missing & Exploited Children.

Please continue with your prayers and your searches.

As of yesterday afternoon my daughter Susan has been missing. She left school around 2pm with her friend Casey. We found a letter from her telling us she was running away to be with Casey. The DE State Police have been notified and her picture is circulating all over our state and MD. Please keep your eyes out for her.

She is wearing blue jeans, dark brown Uggs, white and gray stripped sweater (with a hood), she is carrying her back pack which is orange and navy blue Hawian flower print (LLBean) and she also took her coat. Dark blue Big Dog coat with red lining. Dark brown hair (straight) with blond highlights in the front and brown eyes.

Please call your local police dept if you think you see her.

Not really, but I am. Susan the typical teenager she is got herself suspended fom school for 5 days. Why you ask? Well because she was caught cutting classes with a friend of hers for 4 days. So since she is home and of course in some serious trouble, I am taking the week off. She is going to do my job this week. Today she has done 3 loads of laundry and right now cleaning the upstairs. No reason for her to get a break when I never do. I have plenty for her to do, so I am hoping this will teach her a good lesson!

I have a lot to blog about and I will catch everyone up really soon. But a milestone for our baby boy Adam.

I went in the kitchen and he ran in and said, ” Mommy I have to pee!”

WOOT WOOT! This is the 1st time he has told me instead of me asking him or pestering him
You GO ADAM!

I snuck in your room this morning and took your first official picture as a 3 year old. You were born at 7:38am at a whopping 9lbs. You are the baby of the family and you are spoiled. Some would even say a little bratty & grumpy at times. But I say you are just you. You had a lot to deal with coming into this family. Older sister & 2 older brothers. You seem so grown up to me for your age. I think it is because you are always wanting to be with the older ones, doing what they are doing.

I think I savored all the baby and toddler times with you more because I knew you were our last. I know I let you be more of a baby longer too. Getting away with lots more than I let the other 3 get away with. See, being the baby has it’s privledges. You are definately Momma’s boy. You really dislike anyone else bothering you unless it is me. Your poor father is waiting for you to get 4, 5, 6 …..so he can be able to hang out with you and take you places more. Right now if Mommy doesn’t come then you aren’t going. Secretely I love it and tend to be selfish with you. No one but a mother can understand what I mean. I will be doing a scrapbook layout for your birthday and I found this poem that I will be using. I think it says everything that I feel, right at this moment.

36 weeks pregnant with you

4/08/05-about 30 mins after you were born.

4/8/06-Your first birthday

 

You at 2

I love you Adam Bear! More than I even thought possible! ~Love, Mommy~

We got rained out for the big party, so we had to cancel it and just do a smaller one at home with family. The boys didn’t know the difference but I was really disappointed. I had so many plans and so many of their little friends coming over, I just felt terrible. I have to say the party was a sucess for them anyway. They really enjoyed all their cousins being there to play with them. They got great presents. Elias was in heaven with his Star Wars stuff. Adam is in love with his bubbles! Aunt Tina & Aunt Susie hooked him up with loads of them. All I heard all day was watch me blow mommy Oh and a personal thanks to Aunt Tina for the GIGANTIC ball she gave Adam. All 3 of the boys can’t get enough of that. They roll all around on it, play king of the mountain and hit each other. I will have to remember that when purchasing birthday presents for her children
I got a short video of them blowing out their candles. Pay close attention to Adam & his candles..hahaha!

It is early and you are still sleeping, so I snuck in and took this picture of you. This is your first 6 year old picture. Technically you aren’t 6 until 3:14pm, but who is keeping track. There are so many things I want to say to you today. So many things I want you to know. My heart is about to burst open with all the love I have for you. You hate mushy, so as much as I want to jump up on the bed with you and cover you with kisses, I am restraining myself. Instead of getting myself all teary eyed, what I will do is put up some pictures of you from the past 6 years. Who am I kidding, I will probably cry anyway. I also did some journaling for a scrapbook layout the other day and it pretty much sums up how I feel about you.

“You are our most outstanding accomplishment. Everything about you screams perfection. You are the star of the future, the joy of our life, a message of cheer and joy to our ever changing world. I don’t think I could ever have a job that would ever be as rewarding as being your Mom. I can’t think of any other accomplishment that felt as good as one of your hugs or one of your sticky kisses on my cheek. I don’t have a Masters Degree hanging on the wall or trophies from sports. But what I do have that is just the same are; tiny shoes lining the halls, small little finger prints trailing down the walls, dirty grimy clothes in the bathroom and muddy foot prints on the floor. It’s those things that are my trophies.”

Muah…my darling little boy! Happy Birthday! ~Love, Mommy~

Party is on! Elias and Adam are going to be so thrilled, when their family and friends come on Sunday. So far it’s about 20 kids (including mine). Tomorrow is filled with shopping for decorations-theme Star Wars! Then come home and clean. Saturday, pick up ice cream, snacks, drinks and candy. Candy is for the pinata. Sunday morning I have to pick up the huge dinosaur or police car bounce house from Ace Hardware. I still have not decided on which one to get.

I am not sure who is more excited about the party on Sunday, me or the kids. I told my friends today, I think I am insane for doing all this.
