Ah…the last day of freedom. It’s over. Mark and I start school back tomorrow, sadly.  But I guess gladly as well, since it means it’s the start of Mark’s last semester (hurrah!) and it’s another semester to get behind me as well. Mainly though, I’m totally not looking forward to it. At least I have one cool class, a women’s studies film class. 3 hours each week to watch movies and get credit for it? Fine by me! Otherwise this semester is destined to be even harder than last. I guess that’s what college is supposed to do, huh.

Ugh. End school rant.

Savannah right now though? Is a complete joy. Getting back into our routine at home has made her into a brand new child again!  And every moment I am in awe at how much she is learning and growing. She recognizes colors, counts up to 14, knows tons of animals, uses her imagine, sings along to songs (Hakuna Matata, Winnie the Pooh, and songs from Enchanted are her top favs at the moment).  I adore her. And I can’t believe that she will be TWO in one month and eleven days.  She already seems like a 2 year old to me, so I don’t feel the dreaded birthday doom as I did last year.  Or like every year I experience around Kaylee’s birthday.  Maybe it’s just not close enough yet. But right now? I’m excited to celebrate her birthday–Princess style! (Cause she’s obsessed with every thing Princess right now.)

I should really get to bed to be rested for our renewed routine of waking up super early to get to school.  One more year and 5 months left. I can do this.
