..... GO!!!!!!!!!

What a first week! Avery LOVES school! I hope she has a wonderful year!!!

Daddy read her a new "first day of school" book the night before.

So excited!

She looks ready to work.

Her celebration plate! We celebrated that night with pizza and the new Hannah Montana movie... and...

a cookie!

Woohoo!!! Avery is in kindergarten!!!

Ready..... Set.....

I can't believe that a week from today my daughter will be in Kindergarten. She is so excited. We have all uniforms bought. All supplies labeled. She is completely ready. To celebrate we went to have High Tea last week. Just me and my Avery. She was completely hysterical. She wouldn't eat any of the "fancy" food and they finally brought her a peanut butter sandwich and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I thought it perfect. My girl who is growing up before my very eyes, much too fast ... is still a little girl.

What a summer!

It's been a while since my last post. I've been too busy enjoying my summer. We didn't do anything huge. No big vacations to other countries or other states. In fact the only other towns we've been to were ones where family members live. And yet it has been an awesome summer. I didn't do much blogging because there wasn't anything huge to tell about. The great parts of our summer have been in the day to day... Avery snuggling with me each morning, Reagan playing dolls, lunch with Daddy. We have gone on some great day trips with the kids from church, been to see Grandma and Grandpa in their much closer location, and had friends come to visit. We've gone to the park, played at the mall, ridden the carousel. Reagan is now in a big girl bed with no pacifier, and on the verge of potty training. Avery is a completely different child with her hearing aids, and is so excited about kindergarten. It has been a summer of growing up and family and friends and I think I will look back on it as one of my favorites.
