Lena's: POV
While Francesca was out with mama the girls and I were sitting down at the table playing memory. Grace was
Trying hard to concentrate on the game, hope who was upstairs taking a nap with Stef. Grace picked up the card and turned it over then paused for a minute before picking up the other card, l was trying to teach them little things here and there. They know all their colors shapes and all the alphabet, as well as they numbers so when they start preschool in the fall, they will have the basics down
Hope still struggles with putting things in the correct order. Grace is advanced in certain areas, l have until the end of summer to work with hope
Dad outside in the back firring up the grill. Sasha called me and told me David Matthews came back up to the group home looking for me again, l don't know what this man's problem is. That he doesn't seem to get the message. That l'm not there this is starting to become a issue with him
Pretty soon l will have to contact the authorities because he keeps showing up to my place of business, once was enough. I will get a court order to keep him away from the premisses
I'm not letting him anywhere near my daughter, l know she's scared he might try to get custody of her
We have tried to ease her fears with words of encouragement hopefully her talk with her nana will help settled her nerves. I haven't heard back from my friend Carl who works as a FBl anget finds some information on Mr. Matthews, he's becoming a Thorne in my side. Our vacation has been going so good, after where finished playing the game. I went to get the meat out the refrigerator to take outside to my dad, Grace was right behind me. I always make sure to spend time with them individually to make sure nobody feels left out
Since Francesca's older. I do things differently with her, l already had the birds and the bees talk with. I know l'll have to do it again. I didn't get to deep into the conversation, l gave enough information to go on. Francesca is very smart young lady
She's a straight A student in school
I'm glad she hasn't gotten into the boy phase yet. Grace and I went out back
I handed dad the tray of season meat Daddy you got everything you need
Do I need to go back out to the store to get anything else Lena asks her father
No honey l think I have everything covered. Your mama text me to say her and Francesca are on their way back to the house Stewart States
