It amazes me how time gets away. Somewhere between Thanksgiving and Christmas, our chaotic life zips on by. This week, we are back to our normal, with therapy, school, and work.
Like previous years, we headed to Kansas to be with family for the holidays. It is very hard leaving Daddy behind for the third year, but he insisted and it works for our families. Originally, Daddy planned to come, but with his job change, it wasn't feasible. It was great to see everyone and nice to be home. Here is a picture of you with your cousins Asher and Oliver. It is very hard to capture a photo of three little ones, but this was my personal favorite out of many :)
This Christmas was a bit different for us. Mimi and Robbie bought a new home so this was my first Christmas I can remember in a different home. However, same neighborhood. I could literally throw a rock and hit my childhood home. Her new house was cozy and of course, always decorated to my liking. She goes above and beyond with decorations and treats. My two favorites, peanut butter balls and sugar cookies. Yummy. She even bought you a mattress topper so you would have an area to play, since her new house has all hardwood floors. My Grandad, your Great Grandad passed in April, so we were all missing him too. As I sat across the table from my cousin Casey, I watched as he tackled his ham in the same manner Grandad did, slicing in strips, then into bite size pieces. It made me smile. Speaking of Grandad, it is his birthday today so I am thinking about him a lot today.
Now that we are in 2014, you can expect some big changes for us. You, my love, will start school at age three in order to receive all the therapies you need. As much as Daddy and I try and carry them over, I think this will be beneficial for you. We actually have a meeting planned for next week to meet with the public school in our district. Oh, how I dread these changes. I am perfectly content with your in home therapies and therapists. You really like them a lot too. Savannah, you will be loved wherever you go because you are happy and have a very sweet personality. I really want to keep you at home with me, forever. This will be a process over the next four months as we put an IEP in place for you and find the most appropriate school. I promise Savannah Mae, that I will advocate for you not just in the next few months, but forever. We will have a very busy spring and I will continue to enjoy you everyday.
I love you!
Love, Mommy
