Well it certainly has been an interesting couple of months. Christmas was definatley hard.. I didnt have my Oma there with us to share out laughter and the joy of christmas although I know she was watching over us all. We recieved a letter in the mail with a small angel ornament attached. When I opened it there was the letter we read at her funeral and then there was another letter with that. It was infact a poem and it was about how she was going to spend christmas with Jesus this year and at the bottom of this poem was her signature. My whole family just broke down. Does this mean Oma had an idea that she wasn't going to be around for christmas? It's kind of a hard concept for us to grasp only because we expected to have many more years and christmases with her. Another person that wasnt there with me to celebrate was my one and only :) We had seperate christmases this year and it was hard. We have had a very nice, long talk about everything and we both know what we need to do. You really dont realize what you have until it's gone physically and mentally and that is something I have had to learn the hard way.

Well now for a Hemmert Family update:
Gavin and I are starting school next week. I'm a little nervous but I'm ready to get back into the swing of things and I know Gavin is too!! Keylee is getting so big. She still says DAD!! with all the power in her body. She will occasionally say "Done" and "Mom". She can also say duckie but its "DUDDY" and doggie is also "Doddy" we try to talk to her like a big girl because that is how she acts. She is so grown up and now I am finally able to put little pig tails in her hair. I dont think anyone can truly realize how that excites me because I have been waiting so long for the poor child to grow hair just so I can put in piggies!! She loves to dance. She loves her baby dolls and is very good about giving them there bottle and sippy. SHe has not been on a bottle since she turned a year but we still have the binkie to break her of but I think that will come in time!! She loves Henna C and now she is very good and flashing the meanist glare you have ever seen. I will try to get a picture of it just to show you how mean yet funny and cute at the same time. Well I hope everyone had a good christmas and New Year. It was very different for everyone but I think everything happens for a reason..Love you all stay tuned for more pics :)
