While the Cats Away...

Well Juris and I decided the best thing for us to do while Savannah is at school, was to keep busy. We were able to go to the Temple and get almost everything done for Juris' Grandparents on his fathers side. We still need to do the sealing. It is so nice to be able to to do that for them. We are also planning on going and volunteering at D.I. Alternateing between the two.

Savannah is doing better with school. She only cries once she gets on the bus from home, until they finish picking up kids. And only cries on the way home once she sees Juris Waiting for her. The only problems ive heard with the actual school is when it comes time to do one on one with her for therapy. She cries the entire time during that. Hopefully we wont have a relapse with spring break coming up next week. Were keeping our finger crossed.

Savannah's Party!

Savannahs Third Birthday

Savananh's Second Birthday!

Savannah's First Birthday!

This past saturday we Celebrated Savannah's third Birthday, with Family, At Mom and dad's house. I decided that since we had alot to celebrate this year on Savannah's Birthday, I would try and Make a fancy cake for her. With Fondant Icing. Which I do not think is very edible. Anyway, As you can See it wasn't too bad. Juris Said He gave it a nine, But then when he got closer it dropped to a 6 1/2. Still, I thought it was cute. I think Savannah Enjoyed all her gifts. Even if she didn't she needed the clothes really badly. Thtank you all for coming and celebrating with us.

Just a cute little video of Savannah trying to get crawling Down. Its going slowly But she is getting there. She is such a blessing to us and we are so thankful for her. Stubbornness and all. We are so glad she is such a fighter.

First day of Preschool

Well today was buggies first day of preschool. I can only assume that everything went well. I havent heard otherwise. we had afew issues with the bus, and not knowing exactly where the bus stop was. So Juris and I drove to to school. We brought her to her classroom, Gave her goodbye kisses, and she never looked back. We than went to make some calls to the transportaion department and got everything squared away for the ride home. Since she is in a wheelchair at school she is not allowed to cross a street to get to her bus stop. I was waiting at the original stop when the bus came around. They let off two other kids at the same stop. The bus driver came off the bus and told me I needed to get in there. I paniked. I guess when they were bringing her out to the bus, the air brakes went off and she hadn't stopped screaming the entire twenty minute ride home. Busses are LOUD! Then the Chair lift freaked her out, and everytime the doors would open she would go bonkers. You could definately see that the bus aide was Flustered, but jackie, her bus driver was so calm and collected. I think she saw the panic in my eyes and kept telling me it was okay, and that all new kids need a little time to get used to things. Anyway Savannah Is now the first stop of the trip and she is being picked up right outside our building. It was literally a ten minute walk to the other Stop, so I am thankful. Needless to Say, Savannah And I went inside and had a long Snuggle time and cried. After about a minute Savannah Kept looking at me like whats wrong with you? I was just so overcome with so many crazy emotions, I couldn't help it. So friday we will try the bus ride again, and pray that it goes a little smoother.

And Were Back!

So.. It really has been a while, and alot has happened. I would just like to tell our Family that if it wasn't for your Love and Support over the past few months we would have been lost. We love you so much and are thankful for you all.

Our dear little Savannah turned three on Sunday. She is Doing incredibly well. Especially since the Neurologists thought She would be a "Blind Vegetable" For the rest of her life. Mentally right now she is at about the level of a 18 Month old. And physically Around that of a 6 month old. She is really trying hard to get Crawling and wants to get into everything. Tomorrow she will be starting a preschool for Special needs children. I'm sure ill be spending a lot of time sitting in the parking lot not knowing what to do with myself.

Thanksgiving Point

Today we decided to go on a family date. We wanted something close and relatively inexpensive, so we decided to check out Thanksgiving Points Petting Zoo. Savannah Had so much fun feeding the animals. She tried to climb in the pen with the cows. She has such an adventurous spirit. It is so much fun Just watching her. It was about a gazillion Degrees out, so I was a little paranoid about her burning her beautiful porcelain Skin. I kept trying to get her to take breaks in the Shade. As long as we were close enough for her to see an Animal She stayed content for a few Seconds. She was a little wary of the pony rides, too. It took a little coaxing, But after that she didn't want to leave. She kept wanting to feed the pony as she was riding. So Cute. They had a few baby goats who were only a few days old. They were fun to watch.

Summer Goals!

Maybe I am a glutton for punishment Starting my summer goal so late, But I guess its worth a try. This summer I plan on losing forty pounds by September. As you all know, we are trying to have another baby. While I am at the same weight I was at when I became pregnant with Savannah, I am hopeing for a healthier pregnancy the next time around. While pregnant with Savannah, I became Diabetic(only Gestationaly). I also Lost over 35 Pounds. I am not quite sure how I feel About that however. I stayed off the sugar and didn't add the 500 extra calories you are suppose to eat Because of the baby. Of course the 35 pounds was over the course of 9 months, But I feel that with exercise it should be no problem. Because I was on bed rest, i couldn't work out while pregnant. Although those who really know me know i didn't really listen to the bed rest thing either after we passed the miscarriage stage. So far this summer I have lost ten pounds. I am Eating Healthier-ish, and trying to stay off the sugar. Which is a feat in itself. Sunday Is my Cheat day. I eat what ever I want that day. To an extent. And after I work out on Monday,Wednesday, and Friday, I treat myself to a swim. Most of all, I am trying to stay active.
