home sick

Lately I have been getting home sick for California. I'm sure it's because of the holidays, but it seems to have gotten worse lately. Today we had Jack Johnson blaring while we were cleaning the house and getting ready for my parents to come. Both Mark and I said we miss going to the beach with the windows rolled down, laid back atmosphere of Santa Cruz and the fresh salty breeze.

Addi has her speech evaluation on Tuesday. I really don't think it's speech that's the problem, but her hearing. Since birth, she has been on multiple medications at once, fevers reaching 106, she's been unconscious and has had several seizure episodes. All things that can play a part in loss of hearing. Mark and I have suspected a problem with her hearing, but thought she would grow out of it. When I got the evaluation questionnaire, we answered yes to almost all the questions. We'll see ... kind of a bummer. I feel a little guilty, but Mark reassures me there was nothing different we could have done to prevent any long term affects from her infancy.
