And here we are.

*sigh*Well, she’s off. We got to school today, and it was a little confusing. We never really got clear directions on where Abigail should go today, so we waited a little while...

Happy Labor Day!

Well, today was the last official day of summer for us. Tomorrow morning Abigail begins the adventure known as First Grade. Yikes. So we thought we’d spend today totally enjoying each other’s...

Two Part Post Ahead…

A big day in the life of a six year old

Today was almost as big a deal as the first day of kindergarten. Today was the day Abigail began ballet class. Real ballet class. She’s been in love with Angelina Ballerina since...
