Olivia's First Day of Kindergarten

Olivia was super excited for the first day of kindergarten!!!  New clothes, new backpack, riding the bus, meeting new friends and learning new stuff ? Who wouldn't be excited!!!?????








It Was Like Yesterday......

It was like yesterday that Olivia and Logan were this little. They were the best of buds from the beginning.  I cannot say to much because I get choked up writing this, but they are now off to separate schools. Maybe someday we will see "Olivia loves Logan" written all over their notebooks, but for now, many, many, many play dates will have to do.

Olivia's Preschool Graduation

I remember vividly the day I dropped Olivia off at daycare for the first time. She was 5 months old and the anxiety that had overcome me that day was incredible. I drove her that morning(which was only 5 mins away) and took my sweet time. I was a little late for work, but the reality of  me making it on time without a tear stained face was NOT happening. I walked in and handed her off to my MOM "YES MY MOM" and the tears welled up in my eyes. She was my baby. My baby who in her sweet little 5 month old life had endured so much, it was impossible for me to think of her getting along the whole day without me. 

Fast Forward 5 years~ I look back and think  she would not be the person she is without the love and guidance she received from Little Rascals. The best decision we could have ever made was for her to go to daycare. She is smart, confident, well rounded, friendly, polite, so many things that I cannot list them all. I give credit where credit is due. The credit belongs (not only to parenting), but to the people who really had a hand in her growing up. 8 hours a day/5 days a week. They were with her more then we were. We are forever grateful for their care, love and respect. 

Kindergarten~ Here we come........................(sigh)








Balloon Festival 2012

It was a little windy, so most of the balloons could not take off, but we managed to see a couple.
