A week from tomorrow ...

I can't believe that Lucy is heading into her last week as a 4-year-old. Seriously can any of your believe this??? 
Here's the sleeping 4 year old tonight


and then we have her last year at this time when she was 3 years old and recovering from her surgery



and here at 2 years old



and 1 year (almost 2)


and almost 1 (in the stripes) with her friend Bennett ...
they were room mates in Ethiopia and now go to preschool together!

Nothing like going through old photos to help take my mind and heart off of the sad endings that will begin to take place tomorrow at work.  We go in to work and open an envelop in our mailbox, we'll either get a note with the agenda for an afternoon meeting to go over our agency plans for surviving the budget cuts or we'll get a note with a mornign meeting time to talk about our full or partial lay off.  We also find out how many families and children will loose services at our agency, and this kills me the most.  Uggghhh.

Oh Stacy, tomorrow will be a hard day no matter what is inside your envelope! California continues to have budget cuts and then a revised budget with cuts, in the end it is the children and families who truly lose. I'll be thinking of you!
