Okay, I'll admit it…I'm tired of the cold weather; damp, icky cold weather that makes your bones ache. We're about halfway through our second face cord of wood, and I'm daydreaming about the spring garden. I pulled out my leftover seeds and started sorting through what I want to plant. Some of the packets are a few years old, but the seeds still sprout–don't be fooled by the "expiration date" they print on the package. I gathered together some seed starting mix and small Styrofoam cups, and I soon had some planted. The Italian Ice and Yellow Pear went in first since they're the ones I literally got hundreds of tomatoes off of last year. Super Sauce was next–it wasn't exactly prolific last year, but it had competition from a huge Brandy Boy, so it might not have been its fault.
The ones I passed on this year were Brandy Boy, Brandywine and Cherokee Purple. They all have fabulous flavor, produce HUGE tomatoes, but at only two or so per bush, there's not enough return on the investment. I read they do better further north as far as production goes, so I'll just leave them for my northern neighbors.
I wanted something different this year, not the standard Better Boy or Early Girl they stock the shelves with down here. I wanted flavor, good production, as well as history, so I did some research and found rareseeds.com which is Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. They have really good prices and a huge selection of vegetable and flower seeds, herbs, etc. I ended up with seven varieties of tomato seeds in my basket.
(The following is from the Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds website)
Sioux Tomato
"One of the best-known historic tomatoes, the medium-sized fruit are early. Productive plants and great flavor made this one of the most popular Midwestern tomatoes in the late 1940's. In 1947, Oscar H. Will & Co. stated, "It out-yielded all other varieties in South Dakota trials." Per Henderson & Co., in 1951, "Two weeks earlier than Marglobe or Rutgers." This tomato was one of our most requested, as people love the smooth, beautiful fruit and heavy yields. Introduced in 1944 by the University of Nebraska."
Yoder's German Yellow Tomato
"This regular-leafed variety produces large yellow/pale orange beefsteak type fruit. Fairly crack resistant and can grow as large as 1 pound. Good flavor. From Amish lady Mrs. Yoder, whose family grew this tomato for over half a century in Tennessee and Kentucky." The reviews stated that the plants produced so many tomatoes they could hardly keep up with using and canning, and there were so many huge tomatoes the limbs would break if not properly supported.
A Grappoli D'Inverno Tomato
"This is the "Winter Grape" tomato of old Italy, where farmers would hang the fruit-covered vines and the fruit would stay fresh well into the winter. They also dry perfectly and resemble little "Roma" tomatoes. The flavorful fruit are delicious and great for snacking, fresh or dried." The reviews described the tomatoes as 'tasty, meaty, stores a long time and produces even in half day sun. It is a bit slow to take off, but that is OK since it is a great fall/ winter storage tomato. I tried pulling them up before frost like they say and it worked. I hung it up outside in a covered porch and had tomatoes for months.'
Rose De Berne Tomato
"Beautiful, nicely-shaped 4-to 8-oz fruit are a rose-pink color and have an excellent sweet flavor that has made it a hit with many growers. The vines set good yields of this lovely variety from Historic Switzerland." The fact that it's from Switzerland had me adding it to my basket since my grandmother's ancestors were from Switzerland.
Bonny Best Tomato
"The famous old canning tomato that was selected out of Chalk's Early Jewel by one George W. Middleton and introduced in 1908 by Walter P. Stokes seed house. It became one of the most respected canning varieties in America in the first half of the twentieth century. Medium-sized fruit are round, red, meaty and loaded with flavor. A good producer that makes a fine slicer too." A review stated 'Super reliable producer and an easy keeper. This was the first tomato to produce in our garden and it kept producing all summer long – into October (Zone 9). My two plants produced nearly 50 lbs. of canning tomatoes. A definite keeper!'
Costoluto Genovese Tomato
"The fluted, old Italian favorite that has been around since the early 19th century. Fruit are rather flattened and quite attractive with their deep ribbing. This variety is a standard in Italy for both fresh eating and preserving; known for its intensely flavorful, deep red flesh." One review stated a few plants gave enough tomatoes to can over 100 quarts and reduce wonderfully for a thick, rich sauce.
Dad's Sunset Tomato
"The perfect orange tomato! Large 10 oz. fruit are very smooth, uniform, and a beautiful, glowing orange in color. It keeps very well. One of the best flavored tomatoes we have tried."
With an eye towards all the tomatoes I'll (hopefully) be harvesting, I have an early birthday present coming tomorrow- -an All American Pressure Canner/Cooker. Been wanting one of those for a LONG time. Yes, this kitchen geek will be doing a happy dance when FedEx pulls up tomorrow, lol!
When the seeds arrive, I'll get them started in cups. Hopefully the weather will warm up a little so hubby and I can construct one or two more raised beds, as well as add some compost to the raised beds we made last year and fluff the soil up. By the time the seedlings are big enough, everything should be ready for planting.
Now, if it'll only warm up…

What can school board members do to assist their community in fighting common core? Our schools are now a federal and corporate interest and our rights have been taken away. What can be done to raise awareness?
Some board members share their ideas;
"Encourage other Board members to become educated on common core, testing, best practices and impact to kids, teachers and schools. Focus on education studies, costs of common core, impact to ALL kids. You need to build a political block within your Board and influence through being open with the community. Educate and be vocal. Look at policy in your district; are you testing K-2? You don't have to. Are you over testing (beyond state tests) 3-8. Minimize that. Are you putting too much emphasis on state tests results and measuring your own District on how you score? On my Board, we don't even want to know how we score as these tests are flawed and meaningless. Does your Board have a mission or core belief statement that defines success through more than a test score? Do you adopt curriculum for more than just ELA and Math? Do you emphasize the Arts, humanities and extra curricular activities? Don't use test scores to define you. Do you discuss test scores at your Board meetings or advocate for the "whole child" and true education outcomes?"
-Damon Buffum, board member of the Fairport Central School District.
Another advises:
"Congratulations. I would provide information to the entire board showing them that states are choosing to drop common core and the problems that are occurring with the data collection and high stakes testing. Put a presentation together with factual links from child psychologists and early childhood educators stating the damaging effects of the stresses and pressures from all the testing. Show how the kids are tested almost every other day and how it is so much more excessive than years ago and nothing has been learned. Show questions and what the kids are expected to do in the time allotted to do it and that it is virtually impossible. Give the FACTS that are already proven about all this stuff and provide the links to back everything up. Then tell them that the teachers that know the kids and care about the kids should be the ones to write the curriculum. Refuse to use the engageny modules. As long as the content agrees with the standards, the modules do not have to be followed. Ask them to sign resolutions against APPR and HST and bring the focus back on local assessments. Go to youtube and look up 5 part series on common core, Dr. Duke Pesta, and Mary Calamia (Social worker). The tests and modules are the main sources of stress for the kids, teachers, and parents. Also show how the tests cost well over $100 per student per year and that this is an unfunded mandate. Good luck. I made a 10 minute presentation to my BOE about all these issues a couple of years ago and some positive steps that can be taken to better our school all the way around."
-Leslie Nicolette
Leslie also shares this letter she wrote that will provide a tutorial to your fellow board members and to the true stakeholders of your district: the families.
(Note: this letter was from 2013 so some of the organizations may have changed, ie: In Bloom. However the game remains the same.)
-Addressed to the Central
Valley Central School Board of Education.
"My name is Leslie Nicolette. My husband and I have lived in the village of Ilion for 23 years. We are both lifelong residents of the Mohawk Valley; him from Mohawk and myself from Deerfield. I am speaking to you this evening as a concerned parent, daycare provider, real estate agent, property owner, and tax payer. I have a 19 year old son that graduated from Ilion in 2011, one year earlier than scheduled. He works 20-30 hours a week, attends MVCC full-time and is very active in our church's worship team and youth group. He is responsible, hardworking, and honest. I have a 17 year old daughter that is currently a senior here at Central Valley Academy. She is attending BOCES in the CTE program for Cosmetology. She is loyal, compassionate, and intelligent. I also have a daughter that is in 4th grade. She is inquisitive, thoughtful, and hard working. They are all very unique. Starting last year, I started to notice drastic changes in my then 3rd grader's school day. These changes ranged from reduction or loss of recess and free play time, increase in testing and homework, questions on the homework that were ambiguous or nonsensical, and shifts in required curriculum. Something was quite different. I started doing some research and found out that I was not the only one dealing with these issues. I have never spoken at a board meeting before, but based on my experience and on the FACTS that I have gathered, I can no longer stay silent.
I would like to address the Common Core State Standards(CCSS). In 2009 the National Governor's Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) gathered together to develop a set of national standards. This was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.(1) The Obama administration offered Race to the Top(RTtT) grants to states that were willing to adopt these standards. New York state was given $700 million; $350 million was given to the local districts and $350 million stayed with New York State Education Department(NYSED). (2) The standards were adopted at an education forum with no input from elected officials, parents, teachers, or students.(3) New York was not given a choice and the local districts were not given a choice. At that time the standards were not fully written. According to NYSED Ilion received $108,000 and Mohawk received $32,000 in RTtT funding.(4) Many conditions were placed upon the states acceptance of the money. Since 2010 the standards have been progressively implemented in our schools. ELA and Math are complete, and Science, History, and Sexual Education are to be fully implemented in Fall 2014.(5)
Some factual problems with the Common Core State Standards
1. Cost of Implementation
Again, according to NYSED Ilion and Mohawk districts combined received approximately $140,000. This is the total amout that is to be distributed over 5 years. That averages out to about $47 per student for 1 year only. The cost of implementation will far exceed the amount of the RTtT grant..(6) Written into those costs are tests and acquiring greater technology for test taking. The schools are discovering that there are also unfunded mandates involved with the Common Core implementation. One of these costs is copying expenses. A parent whose son attends Proctor High School was told at a parent meeting that the district held, that they had spent over $80,000 in copying costs in the first 5 weeks of school. This is occurring because the districts are having to print off material from the engageny web site. Another unfunded mandate is substitute teacher costs. As the teachers are pulled from their classrooms to attend trainings we must fill their positions with substitute teachers. Just a few of the required tests cost over $65 per student. If our district only received $50 per child, where are the additional funds going to come from? The RTtT money has already been spent and we still have 2 more years of implementation.
2. High Stakes Testing
This was also a critical component of the RTtT funding. The tests have changed and included in those are state tests for grades 3-8 that are now tied to teacher evaluations. The tests are written and interpreted by Pearson. New York State alone has an over $30 million contract with Pearson for these tests. (7) The teachers are not allowed to see the tests and there is no transparency with the writing or grading of the tests.(8) The teachers are made to sign affidavits saying they will not discuss or copy the tests. Parents have asked to see the test only to be told that large portions of the test will be blackened out so it can be used again. Only things like literary portions and some answers will remain. The teachers can not use these tests to measure student progress as they are not told what questions the students got incorrect. They are only given the students' final scores. The amount of testing that the children must take part in is about 9 hours.(9) This is way more that any professional that sits for a state exam. In one New York State district the testing of 5th grade students increased by 200%.(10)
3. Data Mining
This was another condition that was placed upon acceptance of the RTtT grant. This is a directive that districts must sign on with 1 of 3 different data dashboards chosen by NYSED.(11) The students' information gets sent to InBloom, stored in a data cloud, then transferred to the chosen data dashboard. InBloom is requiring that the districts collect 400+ points of data for each student. Required content includes such information as disciplinary records, health records and vaccination records, medications taken, parents marital status, who resides in the household and attendance records.(12) The cost to participate is $3-5 per student (13) This is another unfunded mandate. Neither InBloom or any of the data dashboards will guarantee the safety of the information either during transmission or storage. The information collected will then be sold to third party vendors. Also if information is keyed in incorrectly or breached at the local level, it opens the district up to liability and potential lawsuits.
4. Developmentally Inappropriate Curriculum
According to Engageny, the modules or units that the teachers must use or adapt their own lessons from are incomplete at this time.(14) The teachers have been scrambling to come up with subject matter to teach in their classrooms. Many of them until 9 or 10 pm every night. A teacher testified at a recent town hall forum with Education Commissioner John King that there was nothing available for them to use.(15) The lessons that are done are scripted with the times to be spent suggested for each topic. The teachers are moving ahead quickly, whether all the children have mastered the topic or not, trying to stay up with the schedule set forth by engageny. This is terribly unfair, especially to any special needs children as no provision has been made for them in the schedule. Mental health workers have stated that they have found this to be a detriment to the children and cases of anxiety, stress related illness, and self-mutilation have increased since adopting the Common Core.(16) One of my major concerns, as a daycare provider for the past 19 years is the loss of socialization, recess, and free play time for our children. What CC seems to forget is that all children learn from interacting with one another. They learn how to relate to one another, conflict resolution, how to listen to each other, and how to care about each other. These are not things that can be scripted or dictated and they certainly cannot be learned if the children have no time to interact with one another outside of a module. I found with my child that from 1st grade every minute of her day was accounted for and she even told me she had no time to use the restroom. I thought she was being dramatic until I heard reports of other children telling their parents this as well. They also are encouraged to think for themselves or be "critical thinkers", but they are corrected if they come up with a different answer than the teacher's resource says. This in turn is very frustrating, because the children feel that they cannot come up with a correct answer. We are creating "cookie cutter" children that will end up being severely lacking in creativity and self-esteem. The teachers have been telling NYSED for years now, the problems associated with the Common Core, but they are not listening. The very ones teaching our children and spending time with them on a daily basis, the ones that know our children and know how they learn, have no voice. The teachers have been labeled whiners and are encouraged to be quiet and cooperate. The very organizations that are supposed to represent our teachers, the NYSUT(18) and NYSPTA(19) have taken millions of dollars from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. This represents a huge conflict of interest to me. A couple of questions to consider are: If these standards and this curriculum are so great for our students why hasn't every prep school and private school that did not accept RTtT funding implement them in their schools and why did it the entire process from the writing to the implementation to the testing have to be so shrouded in secrecy?
5. Loss of Local Control
By reducing local control, RTtT threatens to make CVCS less able to achieve academic excellence, less able to meet our students' individual needs, less able to select appropriate programs for our students and community and more costly to operate. This in turn will end up making our district less appealing to homeowners and potential homebuyers. The 10th amendment to the Constitution states that the Federal Government cannot control education.(20) It is the states' and peoples' rights unless they accept federal funds.
Since I dislike when someone brings a problem to me without offering any solutions, I will not do that. I would like to offer some scenarios that I feel will be advantageous for our children and teachers thereby our district and tax payers, and ultimately our community as a whole.
Solutions to the Common Core Problem
1. Pass a resolution against high stakes testing
If we refuse some of the tests, then it will free the teachers from the pressure to perform to the tests, thus allowing them to teach without having to follow the modules. Again, unfairly, the teachers' scores are tied to how the students perform on the tests. There is no evidence that teacher evaluation systems incorporating student test scores produce gains in student achievement.(21) All this does is create undue stress for both parties. It is foolish that professionals with a masters degree and a love of learning and imparting knowledge to young minds, do not have the freedom to create their own lessons. Ninety districts throughout New York State have passed resolutions against high stakes testing. (22) They have listened and acted. I would urge you, the board members of Central Valley to do the same.
2. Opt out of the data dashboard
This Thursday, November 14, CVCS has to choose 1 of 3 data portals offered through NYSED. (23) Again, neither InBloom or any of the vendors that may end up with the students' information will guarantee the safety of that data. Just this past week a school district in Sachem, Long Island had its computer system hacked. Personal information such as names of those receiving free or reduced lunches, attendance records, vaccinations, physical reports, and grades sat openly on the internet for hours before it was discovered.(24) Due to the changes in FERPA in 2012 a parent can no longer refuse to participate.(25) We already have the Parent Portal that serves its purpose. The data dashboard is redundant, filled with unnecessary information, and adds additional costs to an already tight budget. I ask that the district opt-out of your RTtT agreement with the state in regards to the more sensitive 400+ points of data.(26) 7 out of 9 original states that signed on with in bloom(26) and now about 15 districts within NYS have already done this(27). It is against the law to release health information and prisoners' records, so why are our children given fewer rights? Remove our district from the threat of increased liability and lawsuits. Consult our district attorney immediately and make the decision to opt-out of the data dashboard.
3. Utilize Community Resources
As a homeowner for 23 years and a self-employed businesswoman for 19 years I have had some experience with budgeting. The key to any successful household, business, or municipality is to not borrow money that you cannot afford to pay back. We need to no longer accept Federal and State money that has unfunded mandates attached to it. We live in a multigenerational community. We are a caring and generous people that continually rise up to fulfill the needs of others. Let us use the FREE resources at our disposal to better our schools. As a parent, I have repeatedly asked every year, if I could help in the classroom or school, only to be turned away. I am definitely not the only one. A friend that is a licensed occupational therapist offered to come to her daughter's classroom and and help children with handwriting and proper pencil holding only to be told no. Again, free help that was refused. The Remington School had a wonderful program where the "grandmas" came into the classrooms to assist the teachers. This was beneficial for all involved and free. Mentoring programs are another excellent opportunity to save money and get the community involved in our schools. They have proven to be hugely successful. Let us use some of our local businesspeople, retirees, veterans, and concerned caring adults to help develop the "whole" child. We need well rounded, confident, socially adept individuals in our communities, not just academic robots. Even an "at risk" child can rise above the circumstances of his everyday life to the level of expectation placed upon him if he knows that at least one person cares and encourages him to do his best.
I would like to encourage everyone here to write, call, email, and fax our Board of Regents and elected officials including Governor Cuomo. Tell them you want the disastrous affects of the Common Core to end.
I am not against standards. Any good parent and educators will typically hold our children to the highest of these, knowing what they are capable of accomplishing. Many in this room were born and raised in this area and evidence would prove that we were "college and career" ready before Common Core. My children and countless other graduates of Ilion and Mohawk and now Central Valley have shown that they are "college and career" ready prior to the Common Core. Certainly, there are ways that our education system can be improved upon, but don't buy into the lie that this plan will solve our "crisis" in American education. If anything, evidence is proving that Common Core is lowering morale and extinguishing children's' love of learning in our schools. I urge you as a board to do your research, put the children before the money and make bold, hard, and informed decisions for the sake of the children. Their future depends on it.
I would like to leave you with this quote by John F. Kennedy:
"A child miseducated is a child lost"
Thank you for your time and consideration to these matters. "
And this list of suggested board goals from WCSD board member Anne Miller LaValle, who is a staunch advocate against common core.
"Good Afternoon Fellow Board Members;
I'd like to thank [the Board President] for her initiative in identifying individual Board Member concerns in determining overall Board Goals and I am very happy to share with you all what I consider to be essential concerns which warrant the Board's and District's urgent attention:
1 – Results and consequences of all standardized testing including annual 3-8 Common Core testing and Common Core aligned Regents Exams:
Analysis of student performance on Standardized tests throughout the District including:
-Validity of test questions
-Validity and implications of NYS scoring and grading techniques
-Consequences of performance results for students, teachers, administrators and the District according to Race to the Top and APPR Regulations
-Remediation plans and requirements including anticipated costs
-Communications with NYSED & NYS government officials regarding specifically identified regulatory, legislative and statewide administrative concerns
2 – The very broad range of concerns regarding the cost and consequences of APPR
3 – The brevity and cost of technology specifically required by Race to the Top grant and federal funding regulations including:
-Requirements for Statewide Longitudinal Data System (SLDS)
-Technology requirements for APPR
-Anticipated costs for online student assessments
-Volume, content and accessibility of student data
-Communications with parents and taxpayers regarding what data is being required and collected; whom it is being shared with and how; what the technology requirements are for collection and dissemination of the data and what the estimated costs are
4 – Overall communications with, and response to concerns of, community members and taxpayers
I believe each of these concerns have tremendous immediate and potential impact on our students, teachers, administrators and community members and warrant the Board's and Administration's diligent and immediate attention.
I look forward to hearing each of your concerns and working with you all on behalf of our students and community members.
Best regards,
Anne Miller-LaValle"
Another parent and educational advocate shares:
"Consider first the fact that it is unconstitutional. If you could educate the board, they can pass a non binding resolution to get rid of it. Ulster County and Warren County, NY, for example, have both done this. This may at least get people talking. Also, discuss with the other board members the reasons for fighting common core and refusing the state data mining exams."
Others have passed resolutions against high stakes testing.
Being a board member means you are a recognized stakeholder in your district. It's time to represent the needs of the children and families. Educate teachers and parents, assist them in understanding why common core and high stakes testing is wrong for their community, and help them to contact their legislators to speak out. We need to take back our schools.

Before we reached Agra we had a stop at Fatephur Sikri, the abandoned city. Although built in 16th century in red sandtone it is incredibly well preserved
Agra is most famous for Taj Mahal which needs no introduction but Agra has many other secrets to offer
We quickly checked into Trident Agra which was fine and the food was good
Taj mahal is closed on Friday so we had to visit at sunset on Thursday, but it's a nice time to visit when the white marble turns to yellow in the fading light . It is only open from sunrise to sunset. Taj mahal took 22 years to build with white marble and inlaid precious stones and it is was built purely as a mausoleum to his wife. Everything is exactly symmetrical except for shah jahan's grave which overlooks that of the wife that he loved enough to build such an extravagant mausoleum
The following morning we stopped at Agra Fort which was also impressive
We also stopped at Itimad Ud Daula which is locally known as Baby Taj. It is also made of white marble but instead of jeweled inlay it has different colour marbles carved and inlaid
Crossing the river Yamuna we saw a herd of buffalo
Taj mahal takes your breath away because of its sheer size and also that it cannot be seen until you walk through the entrance gates unless you have a high floor of a local hotel
Agra itself isn't a particularly attractive town but there is so much to attract the visitor apart from Taj Mahal
Our next stop involved getting a train from Agra Cantt which is some distance from the city. We were shown the right platform and waited for the train to Jhansi where we were to be picked up by another driver
The train was quite high so would be a problem for the elderly and disabled. A small thin porter carried our heavy luggage On his head and placed it on a spacious overhead luggage rack above our heads (take note Virgin trains) The train was comfortable and air conditioned but of a lesser standard than you would expect in the uk however first class did include food and drink
If you would like to know more about Agra please call 0845 058 7458 or email email@example.com

The dog's name is Bruce and he's a blue heeler. He apparently didn't come back to his Midland home after he was let outside with the family's other dog. The other dog came back but no sign of Bruce.
"He's very friendly, he loves to go for rides, so he may have very well gotten into a truck," Veteran's Spokesperson, Teresa Tuttle, said.
Bruce is a very special dog, he's a service dog to a Veteran who has post traumatic stress disorder. The four legged friend calms the veteran, who's been deployed to Iraq, from his anxiety. Teresa Tuttle spoke to NewsWest 9 on behalf of the veteran and the affect that this has had.
"He doesn't have his dog there, so he can't calm himself down and the anxiety gets worse. He's going to struggle. Every day without his dog is a struggle for him. We all have pets and love them but he needs his dog to get him through the day," Tuttle said.
Tuttle says they've placed posters everywhere and retraced his paws on where he may have gone or someone who may have picked him up. Bruce was last see near Fairgrounds and Todd Road in East Midland.
"Service dogs not coming back is very unusual, which makes me think someone might have picked him up," Tuttle said. "You know he went to war for us, he fought for us, so it's our job to step up and help him out you know. It's really important that we get his dog back home."
If you have seen Bruce, you are asked to call 432-638-7984.

Our life inter-state was good, although it didn't feel like it at the time. It was good but predominately hard.
We bought an apartment after having our first child, Layla and moved in a day after I was out of hospital with her. He went back to the work that day too as the labor had been 3 days and I had been in hospital for 5 days after the hemorrhage, his paternity leave for a week was used.
We got married on a beautiful beach , on a hot February day ,with his family and our 4 month old baby, Layla. He asked me if I wanted my parents there that day, and I replied with a "no." It was too complicated for me, I wanted this day untainted, perfect and memorable not awkward and difficult.
We struggled in the confines a very small apartment with the baby in our room. Michael had big dreams, he was climbing the corporate ladder so to speak, he was a manager for a large company, and started traveling a lot for work, Chile, China, Europe ect.
I was part of a mother's group , one the hospital had put me in contact with. It was a life line for me really, we only met once a week but sometimes they were the only adult conversations I had during my day as a stay at home mum with a trying new born, Layla.I was the youngest mother there and struggled to forge meaningful relationships but week after week I went to keep trying, to stay connected to make friends.Eventually after a year of going I felt I was really part of something, I wasn't alone and I had friends who were mothers too.
We bought a modest size block of land on a hill in an lower socioeconomic suburb said 'to improve shortly", by the real estate agent, 2 kilometers from the beach. My husband, Michael, changed jobs and started working for a College as a Manager there.
We Rented for two years in a neighboring suburb while we built our new home. We had another beautiful baby , Ella and bought a puppy. I was home every day with a two year old toddler, Layla and a new born, Ella, with severe colic. Interesting times to say the least , looking back now, she screamed for 4 months and then we put her on formula as the pediatrician determined she was most likely dairy intolerant. She stopped screaming and I was happy once again.
We moved into our new home, had no money left but had green lawn and a brick 4 bedroom house near the beach, we were blessed. Michael kept working , changed jobs 4 or so more times, kept earning more and seeing less of us. I had to do it all, chop the wood in the driving winter rain for the pot belly fire place, mow the grass in summer with a baby strapped to my back and get the oldest to Kinder-garden and then later Pre-primary with a baby , puppy and house to run.
One of the down sides of being a young parent by choice is that you don't have grandparents for you children who are retired yet. So we saw his parents Bianca and Peter, but they were both still working. We met for social occasions had wonderful meals together and then went home. His mom, Bianca, took the toddler to a gym class once a week which was something I couldn't do for her and that was special time together for them. I was grateful for this.
I was told by my doctor I had high cholesterol due to my inability to actually exercise with a baby and toddler so Michael,got me a gym contract with a great creche facility and I got fit and had a break from the children.
A few years went by and we decided to have our third child, Emily. She was perfect, healthy and beautiful, didn't sleep much like her sisters and also later said to have mild dairy intolerance like her sisters. So breastfeeding stopped once again and prescription Neocate formula was introduced once again.
I tried hard to re-build the relationship with my mother Rebecka, and then eventually my father as well. During these years , 10 in fact, I talked on the phone to her most days, and she came to visit a few times alone to see the kids. We went to America for Michael's work and we flew her over by herself in her school holidays to look after our now three children. The relationship was good but far from perfect. Rebecka my mother, was still angry with me for reporting my father to police all those years ago for child abuse against my cousin.
She would call me sometimes at 5pm, while I had a crying baby strapped to my chest in a 'baby bjorn', a toddler and a 5 year old fighting on the floor and dinner on the go. She would tell me about him, my father, she said how he was struggling sometimes after the crime he had committed, she would tell me the police had been over, checked his cars and the house.
She made me mad some times, like she wanted me to feel guilty, it was like acid on me.She told me how she had found out about the abuse of her niece. That my uncle, Robert, ,Sienna's father had confronted my father at the house to question him about what his daughter had told them happened to her, my father had denied every thing. That afternoon when she came home from school where she taught, my father confessed and told her what he had done to Sienna, how he had been abusing her. He had felt cornered, trapped by other adults now knowing and he knew he needed to tell her , his wife Rebecka, he had no option.
My mother said "he was a good person now, rehabilitated after all these years, he went to church , read his bible a lot and was different'. She disclosed details about his mental state prior to and after the abuse of Sienna, my cousin. She said 'he was depressed prior to the crime he committed, he was heavily into pornography online as well, almost addicted really'. He had recently been made redundant, lost his job, and his mother had passed away.
I knew he had always had issues with online pornography growing up any way, I had often found it on the home computer when I went to research some thing. They often fought over it.
I tried hard to pick up the phone and call him some times, it was confronting because we had never actually spoken about what he did, about the crime he had committed. I wanted to mend things with him but it was very hard for me to do that with him. Eventually as the years went by they both came over on holiday to see us. My husband ,Michael , my mother ,Rebecka and I discussed how things would work with him, we told her he could never even for one minute be left alone in a room with the kids. She always reassured us that she would be vigilant, that she would protect them and watch them at all times. We never went out as a couple when they stayed as I want not comfortable with that, I wanted to always keep an eye on him myself to protect my babies in case he had not changed.
This arrangement went on for 10 years while we lived inter-state, they both came over maybe only 3 times in total and we as parents were always watching our children with him. I attended a child protection course and learnt all the things I needed to teach my children to prevent any type of abuse ever taking place. We role played at home a lot and I bought books for them to read as toddlers about their bodies and secrets.
I flew inter-state on a few occasions by myself to try and re-build my relationship with my parents.
After 10 years away we decided to sell our house and move back to live near my parents across the country . I felt comfortable that my father was not a prominent threat to my children and that we a family could live there. We still agreed that he would never be left alone with our children.I or my mother would always be with them. It took 8 months to sell our house, the nicest house in a poor suburb.
We packed our house up into a shipping container ourselves, loaded our car and drove across the country with our three kids aged 8,6 and 3 and the dog.
We arrived 10 days later. A place I knew well, having lived there for 5 years before and Michael did too having lived there for 3 years also. It kinda felt like home again for me. We enrolled the kids into a primary school and moved in with my parents while Michael looked for a job. I stayed home with our three year old, Emily, and tried to establish new friendships with other moms, joined a play group and spent time with her. Michael was at home, my parents house looking for work and my father working 3 days or so as a consultant. I was always with our youngest daughter.
I joined my parents church, and went every Sunday with them, I sat next to my father and listened to sermon after sermon. The kids loved the Sunday school and I felt it was good for all of us.Michael, didn't come, he believes in God but isn't religious as such.
After 4 months he found a job and we moved out, into a rental apartment in a flash suburb 20 minutes away. We saw them often still, every second weekend at least and some times they would baby sit the kids for us so we could go out. During this time my mother, Rebecka, always reassured us that she was always with them, that she would never leave him alone with our kids.
Our youngest started kinder-garden at 4 years old, a few days a week and during that time I spent a lot of time with my father, I would stop in and visit him when he was home and we would often go for coffee together. I felt close to him again, like I was his daughter after all these apart. I was 34 now and I felt like I had good parents in my life once again. After a year we bought a house , a house in need of a serious renovation, a sizable renovation which we didn't quite foresee. Our lease on our rental was up and we needed to fix up the inside of the house before we could live in it.
A modest double brick home on acreage, in the bush.We were so excited, we had our own home once again and it was going to be beautiful . My mother urged us to move in with them again, put all our belongings in the garage and stay with them while we renovated our new house. We did, and for 4 long months we fixed up our little home ourselves. While all three girls were at the same school full time now I painted the whole inside of the house. We ripped out the kitchen, a shower and all the old carpets throughout the whole house.It was tough tough work, but we really enjoyed it. On weekends with had the kids with us playing in the surrounding bush land on the property while we worked as a team, Michael and I, turning the house into our home. We re-built the kitchen with my father helping us.Yes we installed our own IKEA kitchen and laundry.
From September to December we worked until it was ready to live in. And 2 days before Christmas we moved in with boxes and put up a tree.
Life went on, we were happy. We had finally settled in to our new state and our roots were down. We saw my parents on the odd weekend for a meal, and that was it. They were both still working full time and had started their own house renovation, re-doing the kitchen and bathrooms and downstairs flooring.
But then in February our horror story started to unfold.
