Six months & counting.......

Six months ago today a little boy named Wyatt Andrey joined our family, and changed our lives forever! Where have the past six months gone? Wyatt is doing so good, and has adjusted well to us and his home. I am reminded daily of the blessing he has brought to our lives, and now that Wyatt and I are back in Tulsa we can get on with life, and building our family foundation.

It was hard to say bye at work, and daycare yesterday. The group of people that make Team VistaCare Lubbock are so compassionate, loving, and have a real heart to serve patients, the community, and each other. I wish things could have worked out differently, and until we see each other again keep up the great work! Kid's Kingdom was a hard place to leave because I am so thankful that they were so good to Wyatt, and he learned lots from the teachers and other children in his class. Wyatt was excited everyday when we got to school, and during the four short weeks we were there he made great effort, and really started showing some change. Last weekend Justin was feeding Wyatt, and he closed his mouth and started shaking his head from side to side ( indicating NO, NO, NO). Justin asked me what is this? I said, " you know what they say, for better or worse they learn it from their friends at daycare." His teacher Ms.Amy was crying, and Ms. Tracye was hoping that something would happen and we could stay in Lubbock. We promised to send them pictures from time to time. Thank you KidsKingdom, Ms.Amy, and Ms. Tracye your love, and compassion for the children really shows, and it made it easy for me to leave him each day and go to work.

We are officially back in Tulsa, and I have spent the day unpacking the car and putting things away. I should get it all taken care of tonight, and I can start on the next neglected project. It is hard to believe we were gone for 7 weeks!

We miss you! I know you need to be home, but it doesn't mean there's not a hole left behind in Lubbock. Take care of Wyatt, and of Justin, and keep us updated on you guys. I'll be in touch soon!

I can't believe Wyatt has been with you for six months! Where did the time go? Nice to know that you two are home and that everyone is happy about it :)
Love you lots, Auntie
