Emily just loves to help Momma in the kitchen! Earlier this week she helped me make spinach dip!

Never Grow Up...

To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that...

I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
No, no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up...

Just stay this little...
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up

First grade!!!

So after several years of wondering when I was going to have the time to catch up... I finally decided to just do it and to not look back.

My little girl started the first grade today! I don't know how it happened!! Just yesterday I could hold her lengthwise on my forearm while I vacuumed :)
I am so proud of the beautiful person Emily has blossomed into! She is so bright and intuitive, and immensely loving and thoughtful! She is my bright, shining star.
Today at school she was the superstar for the day! She led the line to recess and to the cafeteria. She made two new friends, Iris and Savannah. I think that sounds like a wonderful way to start a new school year!
We are both really looking forward to a new school year; at a new school and with new friends. I think first grade will be quite an adventure!!
