<div style="text-align: center;">
It is summertime and that means lake living!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this girl and her grannie...they could stay at the "yake"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
f-o-r-e-v-e-r! I don't even think she misses me lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />So I have to write down the new things she's doing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because next time I see her there will be even more new stuff!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Grannie and Annie made some room in their hectic lake schedule</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to come into town and visit! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
let me tell you - this girl is taking it all in these days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
her new favorite words are copperate (cooperate) since</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
GrandDennis doesn't follow her instructions well - hahaha</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was on the phone with mom and annie was yelling her new</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
big words from the back of the van and I heard</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"opportutti" hahahaha she means opportunity</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I know I'm bad but I love the wrong way she says things</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it makes me laugh and she won't do them for very long.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she's getting so tall - 4 feet and has gained 10 pounds in 3 months</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to think last year they wanted to put her on a feeding tube</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she's outgrown her clothes lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am giving myself permission to add to this because I know there</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
are things I've already forgotten her mind is moving so fast</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
these days and mom and I are speechless and utterly grateful</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to God for continuing to amaze and bless us with bringing back</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this beautiful mind of hers!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had been on a "hunt" we'll say to find someone else with</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a similar diagnosis as Annabelle since it is so rare. On</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my journey I happen to hear about an older girl who had walked</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the path we had hoped for Annabelle....She attended the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Florida School of the Blind after losing her vision at 12</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to a retinal disease (damn you bad genes). I had the great</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pleasure of meeting her mother and I'm so thankful because</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am actually more in the know than I thought </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(hahaha - y'all know that's atypical)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Fortunately, the blind community is very small and well</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
surrounded with love, support and fundraising!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our local minor league team, The Charleston River Dogs, happens</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to be one of those people...They do an annual fundraiser called</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Kindness Beats Blindness"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and all of the proceeds go to retinal research.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Someone from the team dropped off a donation letter and info.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yea, so I've lived here my ENTIRE life and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a) didn't know this fundraiser existed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
b) had only been to 1 game before moving to Park Circle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I've been to 2 this season)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />well, what on earth? UM I'm definitely NOT missing out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on this as a parent, business and a girl who likes a party!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I put together this cute basket</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
hovered over it telling people i would outbid them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
anyway and a lady came up - I said </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm getting this for my kid so back off</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I was half kidding)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

AND I ran into the mom and her gorgeous 22yo daughter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she was a joy and so very kind</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
AND I happened to run into their doctor and his wife</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who they swear by and got his email</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My phone died or I would have had more pictures</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't see one person swing a bat or catch a ball</div>

<img alt="post signature" class="centered" src="http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r208/jennisajoy/baileysigjpg.jpg" />Denahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18364304214727081527noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35927258.post-2412639647907271162013-08-14T20:53:00.001-07:002013-08-14T20:53:47.857-07:00saying "I'm sorry"<div style="text-align: center;">
I have noticed lately that Annie says "I'm sorry" a lot most of the time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for things she shouldn't be sorry for. If she wants milk in the morning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then asks for sprite she'll say "sorry mommy for asking you again"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
two things come to my mind</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1) I pretty sure she wishes she could do these things herself</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so it cracks my heart a little bit for her</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2) Do I make her feel like she needs to apologize?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been super conscience about being upbeat and positive</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when she asks for things she needs...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course there are things she's going to need help with and I</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
try to stay as positive as possible (I do get tired)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT then there are times she does things like fighting me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to take her medicine ~ not listening and she says</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I'm sorry mommy"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I don't think that she is because if you were truly sorry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you would stop fighting and adding frustrations to daily routines...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then I had that "AHA" moment</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it was around 4 o'clock in the afternoon and Annie and I were</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
resting which means I try to take a few minutes of silence</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
between the 4 loads of laundry, loading the dishwasher, starting dinner, refilling her script, making her take her medicines, playing and keeping up with Annie...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then "IT" happened she wanted a snack, the dog was sitting on my head,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Priss was talking NONSTOP and I finally said</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"can I just get FIVE minutes of quiet please?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have just spent the last 6 hours doing crap I don't even like to do</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so can I please please please just have a minute...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
UGH - I of course immediately apologized and told her how much I love</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
her and mommy was just exhausted (i had been sick last night)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that I shouldn't be upset and some days it's just hard to do everything..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yea - I'm pretty sure I've had THAT conversation with her a few times</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in the last weeks...I tell her how sorry I am and I will be damned if </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't do it AGAIN... So I'm going to take her's as sincere as mine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and love her little heart and try to smile through it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just because you say sorry - it doesn't mean you aren't going to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
do it again but it does mean that you realize you've done it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and that folks is sometimes more than enough for the day!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So Annie - I am sorry - I try to be perfect but there are no perfect people</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I'm gonna forgive you every time you say sorry and hope you can do the same!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love you - my favorite person in the world!!!</div>

4 months from today I will turn 40<br />
<br />
It's not a number I am afraid of or a milestone I don't want to hit.<br />
There will be a celebration but with the excitement came a huge reality.<br />
<br />
I'm going to be 40...my mom is 61...the people I have as my<br />
"omg in case something happens to me you get Annabelle"<br />
ARE ALL MY AGE... WHAT NOW????<br />
<br />
When you begin the adoption process it's for several reasons - you don't want to be an "older" parent - my dad died when I was 26 (he was 70) - you are not married - * you want a little girl for sure 'cause bows and smocked make more sense* <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am hopeful but at this very moment I do not think Annabelle will ever be capable of living alone. She will always need some sort of assistance. I never really thought she would be an only child either - my plans were always to adopt again at least once but with 2 additional adoptions falling through it just never happened...So what now?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Where do only children with special needs go when they are alone? I'm not anticipating this to happen for quite sometime but - it's a terrifying - devastating thought that quite frankly has had me in tears and on valium for the last week - I've googled questions looking for answers and found nothing - Is my only option some sort of long term care facility where she'll live out the remainder of her precious life in a room and at the mercy of others? How do you march on with that thought constantly in the back of your mind?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Is there any true preparation for something like this? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stay Calm</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and </div>

Can y'all believe ANOTHER year has come and gone?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know how time flies and yet seems to stand still at the same time...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year was crazy, fun, hard, ever changing and we celebrated every bit of it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought MY Christmases were a big deal in my day but let me tell you these kids aren't asking for a plastic tea party set, a cabbage patch kid (although i really wish they would)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or please, please can i have one of those cute phones in my room???</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not these kiddos ~ Christmas 2012</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trampoline - Paintball Mask - Helmet Camera</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ridie Toy - Halo 4 - Nike Sweatshirt </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but the SMILES on their faces were worth every toe of my own I have to paint all year!</div>

It was beautiful (thanks to my mom and her mad decorating skills)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and loaded with perfectly picked presents </div>

Annie has been getting more independent again (I think she feels more safe at homeschool) and wants to do things but we have to follow her to the bathroom especially because of her drop seizures - she would fall off of the toilet with no muscle control so our neurologist thought maybe a lumbar puncture would give us some answers - apparently there is a folic acid that can be medicated if that were the case so off we went to MUSC poor thing while she was under they also took like 8 vials of blood to look at some other things...sadly, the spinal fluid (i know it even sounds horrible) came back negative so we are back to the drawing board! God love her little self!</div>

I am not going to lie - this year has been a crazy one..."working" from home, moving, homeschooling (we'll call it that), Annabelle's health issues....there are days i've said "WHY?" but God has placed people in my life who would look at my life and say gravy boat (Christie Cotney Magera - she's a whole blog on her own) so I have been trying to be in the moment and really try and see all of the amazing blessings I have been given and it wasn't hard this weekend...I am thankful, I am blessed and I am aware!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I know most people count Gotcha Day as the day the embassy signs the paperwork making you a forever family...That's not the date I use - Gotcha Day is November 17th - the day we got on the plane to take you home and knew we never had to look back. The adoption took a turn at the very end - when the phone rang and it was Thanassis on the other line, my heart sank - what came next was crazy...he wanted to know why I hadn't come to pick you up? Excuse me? Well, it turns out the adoption agency hadn't finished paying everyone...I called Aunt LeLe at 2:30AM and asked it she could jump on a plane in 4 HOURS.. She said ABSOLUTELY! I packed my bags - put a note on the door at the store and told everyone I would be back when everything was resolved bc I wasn't coming back without my girl - met Aunt LeLe in Atlanta and off we went - heading to Guatemala like tornados while making our plan of attack! The best part was our element of surprise! No one knew we were on our way until we got there...we sat in the lobby of the Radison until the attorney got there - the next morning after some demanding you were brought to me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I immediately took you upstairs and changed you into a smocked dress..hahaha - you also rolled off of the bed and landed between the bed and sliding glass door - I thought "what have I done to this poor baby?") Let's just say the surprise worked - that mean old adoption lady got the money to the right people just in time - embassy interview - check - celebration dinner - check -airport bound - check but none of that mattered to me my heart wasn't happy until the plane took off and the wheels went up! This is the first picture we took as soon as we were Atlanta bound...You were the BEST traveler and had everyone mesmerized ... people stopped in the airport to look at you, you were so gorgeous! Aunt LeLe headed home and we hopped on a plane to Charleston...we arrived at 11:30PM and when we got there - there were lots of people waiting on you with signs and balloons and then your Grannie saw you...I could tell her life had changed forever....you have been a blessing everyday since even on the rough days and even when I haven't been my best (i'm sorry if those days seem plentiful)...I can't believe 8 years have gone so quickly and so slowly at the same time - You have changed my life and are further proof that God is great</div>

LOL - if you keep up with the blog you'll remember that Annie was Cinderella last year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just fyi Grannie bought her the same costume again (I think it's the light up Cinderella on the front)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think this has been her favorite year so far...she LOVED passing out the candy she wanted to know what</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
everyone is dressed up as - she even wanted to go trick or treating at a few houses on the street, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she says trick or treat and then tried to give them candy...she's so cute! And she adored her costume because she slept in and didn't want to take it off for 2 days (she did take it off long enough to bathe)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope everyone had a very HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!</div>

after much ado about something - i have decided to homeschool Annie this year - I feel like the bad started to outweigh the good in her school environment and after years of <strike>making fun</strike> discussing the idea - i was put in a position where homeschooling <strike>in all of its glory</strike> craziness STILL seemed like a better option than sending her to public school....<br />
<br />
<br />
Since this is Annie's scrapbook it didn't seem fair to mix her in with the home/design/whatever blog...so we're back because growing up any way other than girlie just doesn't seem as glamorous!! <br />
