Shhhhh....

We are playing hooky!  Today is our 9th anniversary and instead of the same old thing, we have decided to scoop our baby girl up and run away to San Francisco!

I am so tempted to bring the mask....

but I won't....

that would just creep innocent bystanders out :o)

This is the beginning stage of "Operation Sanity."

  5. Oh I am soooo happy to hear this! I TRULY think this is EXACTLY what you guys need to do...maybe even once every 6 weeks or so...schedule it in just like a therapy session and call it a "family field trip" to experience LIFE :)! xo

  8. Happy Anniversary! I hope you have a great time- you certainly deserve it! I just wanted to say as well that I would never presume to tell you that you ought to do just what you are- getting away- but I do believe in my heart that scooping up your baby and not worrying about her therapy and enjoying each other without it being "work" is a wonderful idea. You need to be together as a family doing those things you did before Aviana's accident. Yes- it might be a little more complicated and require more planning but it is SO NECESSARY for you guys as a family to go places and enjoy things. Playing hooky is a good thing!!!!! I want to hear all about it!!!!!

  9. Audriana used to get so pissed at us whenever we brought the mask along if we evern went anywhere. Sometimes, just to go to Disneyland for a few hours, we would wake up at 4:00am to start the program. We'd finsish up right around 3:00pm and get into the car quickly. She'd see the mask poking out of my purse and get so angry. I'd say, "But honey...we have just 10 more do to today....we can do them on the drive there. No one will see you! I swear I won't bring it into the park...."

    I'm so glad that you guys are getting away! Yay! You need this, and you will come back ready to tackle the program again. Good for you! And I know Avi will love the it!

  15. I say you plan out little excursions every so often, even if they're for a half a day. Go do something fun, see the ocean, go for a hike, drive to the mountains. You deserve it!
