It is day two without my mom or other family members here at the house. It is just me and Savannah. I will admit I was really scared about doing it all myself after my mom drove out of the driveway on Monday afternoon, but I just kept telling myself that if all I did each day was make sure that Savannah was okay, then I had a successful day. Everything else could wait until Rian and I were both at home. Around 4:30 on Monday afternoon when I expected Rian to call and say hi before he went into BBQ to work, he called to let me know that he was on his way home; Carroll had found a replacement for Rian at BBQ, thus he no longer had to work nights. YEAH!!! It could not have come at a better time. We were able to just be a family, slightly different than before, but a family.

We are so grateful to have the support of our families during this time. I am especially grateful to have the support of my parents. I think that becoming a parent myself has truly made me appreciate and understand my own parents so much more than I did before. They are always there for me to call when things are just not going right or I just want to share a special moment with them. THANK YOU!
