Savannah,

I know every parent probably says this, but SERIOUSLY I look at you every day and think to myself you are the most beautiful little girl.

Your new favorite words are seriously, loser, dork, and I have caught you saying BIG words that I'm not sure you know what they mean. But when you say them it makes us laugh!

At the Jazz game the other night you said in your most serious tone..."Kyle Korver is hot, and when I get big I wanna marry him!". You screamed for him even when he wasn't on the court. Oh, and you cried when you didn't actually see yourself on the Jumbo-tron. You thought that I had lied to you. You trust Daddy though...as soon as he said that you were on it, you stopped.

You've been sick with the flu this past week. One night when I could hear you struggling to sleep, I just laid by you and watched you. It was 3 something in the morning, and for that moment I could have stayed up forever to be with you. Just for those days you were a little less sassy, and a lot more mellow.

You have started to cry daily when I leave for work. You like the 3 of us to be together ALWAYS!! It makes me sad when I see you so upset. It was a lot easier to leave you when you were a baby, and didn't realize how long I would be gone for. ;) I tried explaining to you that one day you will leave me every day to go to school, and you wouldn't want me to cry. Your response was simple and funny "Momma, I'll just quit school!". You are too smart, my little Van.

I swear you change daily. You are starting to get good at reading, and you are a pro at writing. You are THE next American Idol...anyone that has driven in our car would agree.

Thank you for always being our bright spot.

Love you always,

Momma
