New family member...

My little sister got a new puppy today and she is one of the cutest puppies I have ever seen! Her name is Starlight and is like 2lbs. So cute!

Have a great Sunday!

And she's off...

my baby girl started preschool today! The tears and freaking out I thought was bound to happen were MIA today! She was AWESOME, headed off to the playground and said "bye momma, love you" and that was that! Made me so sad and so happy at the same time! I'm off to pick her up in a bit, can't wait to hear how her day went! Here's a few photos from this morning. The last one is when daddy called to wish her a happy first day, she was so excited to talk to him...can you tell?

Let's compare...

So Lisa's comment made me think...is there really that much difference? I remembered we took a picture in the same place on the first day last year so let's see the difference shall we? here's the picture from last year...



it's kinda hard to tell, because she's not right in front of the door like last year. (Good lesson learned) But I think she's an inch or two taller maybe.

1st grade here she comes...

WOW! I can't believe my baby is in 1st grade! She was so cool and brave today. She did tell me she was a little scared & nervous but more excited. Hoped she made friends right away and knew lots of other kids. The drive to school was pretty quiet but when we turned on the street of her school she said in a very silly Rylee voice "it's getting closer!" and her excitement shinned through. We meet Claire right away and that made her feel great, then other friends joined her. We found the line for first grade, wasn't hard to miss with the big heart and mail box. I think we're going to LOVE Mrs. Hardt. She come out with a big loud "Welcome everyone!" it was awesome. Then off they went. Of course we followed and watched while Mrs. Hardt told them to take their backpacks to their desks, but Rylee didn't listen or didn't hear and sat in the back by the cubbies and dumped everything out while showing all her cool new supplies to her friends, then took all the to the wrong desk and put the backpack in her cubby. LOL! Mrs. Hardt nicely showed her the right desk and off we went! I'm sure she had a great day and can't wait to her all about it. I miss her so much today, only 3 hours and one minute until pick up! I'm sure me counting down the hours to her return won't last long but it's the first day back and i MISS HER!!!
