Has it been 2 weeks already??

We are all officially in countdown mode - we leave for Savannah early Monday morning!!! Well, actually our first stop will be in Metter, GA - we're meeting Sandy and the kids (can't wait to see them!!!!!!) for lunch and then she'll be taking David back to her house - yep, that's right. David isn't spending Thanksgiving with us - it was a hard decision for us to make, but we know that we have to give him the chance to see his cousins (and aunt and uncle) whenever we can. Besides, David misses Haley so much!!! He did tell Jamie 2 nights ago that we shouldn't have told him he'd be seeing her soon - poor kid hasn't been able to sleep! Ha! I'm preparing for an emotional "reunion" - staying good-bye to Sandy and the kids was probably one of the hardest things I (and David) have been through. It was tough - very. Anyway,  it'll be good seeing them again, even if it's just for a couple of hours. What's great is that after Thanksgiving, they're coming down to spend the weekend with all of us - which means the 3 of us (Christy, Sandy, me) will be able to shop on Black Friday!!!! It's been our tradition for 3 years!!  And we'll get to celebrate Hannah's birthday with her :)

Today is the first Saturday in 11 weeks that we're "free" - David's baseball season ended on Thursday night. I have to admit, we're going to miss it - it was a lot of fun watching him play and we also met some really great people that we've been used to seeing 3-4 times a week .. we're so happy that he enjoyed playing so much and yes, he's already looking forward to spring when he can play again! Ha! But first, he'll play basketball - I'm pretty sure that starts in January.  I can't say enough how great of a kid David is - he's just really happy with life and always seems to find the good in things, love that optimism.

Abby has been waking up everyday asking "is this the day that's my birthday" - funny! She can't wait to celebrate turning 4 - she's got a lot planned for the day! She absolutely loves going to school and she loves her dance class just as much - she's got her very first recital on December 18th. Should be cute! Abby keeps us very entertained and lately, she's obsessed with knowing everyone's name - people we see driving, people we see walking, people we see on TV, people we see at the park, people at stores, etc .. she doesn't care. "What's their name" is a question we probably hear 40 times a day! Ha!

Molly is - well, Molly. We always joke that she has split personalities - she really can be the sweetest girl on some days, but on others - watch out! Ha! Last Thursday, she had her 6 month "checkup" with her speech therapist and we're hoping that therapy will increase to an hour a week - it still isn't enough, but it will be better then what she's getting now. We should find out on Tuesday - keep your fingers crossed!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!! My family and I have so much to be grateful for and we're also lucky to have such great people in our lives .. and because I love quotes:

"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you'll never, ever have enough" - Oprah
