I can't believe this year is over! It has been a very eventful year, but mostly in a good way. Savannah started preschool, I am finally getting into my major, Early Childhood Education, at Mercer University, I've been working as an After School Education Program teacher at Flippen Elementary and loooove it, Savannah is still loving ballet and just finished performing in the Nutcracker (pictures to follow), and we have great friends and family that keep our days filled with fun and excitement! Savannah is at a great age right now--a little tough because she is constantly testing the boundaries--but fun because we can actually communicate and have conversations. She is learning to read and write and is very eager for anything educational!
Christmas was wonderful this year! Santa brought everyone wonderful gifts--new speakers for my car for me and a Sleeping Beauty vanity (plus about a thousand more presents) for Savannah. It was the first year celebrating Christmas without my brother, Sean, but thankfully he was able to celebrate with my other brother Jay, my sister-in-law Jenny, and my nephew James in South Bend, Indiana, where Jay and Jenny study at Notre Dame. Down here in Atlanta we had a lovely relaxing Christmas day. Although we started opening presents early, Savannah woke us veeerrrry early busting at the seams to see what Santa brought, we did manage to string out the presents for nearly 4 hours--for just 5 people! We stayed in our cute pajamas all day (even to eat Christmas dinner) until we finally got dressed to drive around and look at Christmas lights. It was a just a really great day.
I'll stop writing now and post some recent pictures below. Hope you all have a Happy New Year! See you in 2009!
My adorable God-son River, who Savannah and I got to keep for a weekend!
