We will miss you Ashley!!

Today was a sad day for us at therapy...

Our speech therapist, Ashley, is moving at the end of this month.  Her husband got a job in Kansas (where she's from) and they will be moving there to be closer to family.  It will be sad to not see her anymore and we will miss her very much.  Landon was sure to give her a bunch of hugs when we were leaving, although I'm not sure he understood that he wasn't going to see her anymore.  We appreciate everything that she has done for Landon.  She's been seeing him since we brought Landon back from our last trip to Denver a year and a half ago.  We've seen her almost every week since then.  Landon has really transformed with her help of teaching him the picture exchange method and then moving that into his iPad.  She's also helped mom and Landon learn some sign language.  We've learned so much from her.

We really do consider these therapists part of our family, not because we see them so much but because they genuinely care about Landon's well-being.  They all want what is best for him and will do anything to make sure he works to his full potential.  We aren't really sure where Landon would be without them.

Ashley, we will miss you so much!!!  It will be so nice for you to live near your family and we wish you and your husband all the luck in the world!!!  We love you!

I just saw your blog and it make me tear up! You guys are so sweet--I also loved the pics of Landon at Christmas--poor guy, he didn't get anything too exciting, huh!? (note the sarcasm) HOpe Landon does well with Kim and continues to amaze us all! Dawn, thinking of you as you near the end of your pregnancy. I think the etsy room decor you used is the same as Chelli's--adorable!:)
