Junior

Hope "bridged" to Junior Girl Scouts a couple of weeks ago.  This will be her 5th year as a Girl Scout and she has grown so much since she was just a little Kindergarten "Daisy"!

 Not the best picture- but just a little 5 year-old on a Daisy field trip

Last time being a "Brownie"

Let Him Eat Cake

Beck really liked his birthday cake!  His party had a "ball" theme and he wasted no time digging in.  He wasn't quite as excited as I thought he would be about a huge ball of sugar sitting in front of him.  He kind of just started eating it like it's something he gets every day.  He did enjoy it though, and kept asking for "mo", even when he still had huge gobs of chocolate in his hands.

Wow.  That happened fast.  Way too fast.  I blinked and the small little bundle that we brought home from the hospital turned into a walking, talking, smiling, giggling, ball-loving, noise-making, open-mouthed kissing, blanket cuddling little boy.

It's bittersweet, really.  The growing, the changing, the birthdays - it means all is well.  It means he's healthy and developing how he's supposed to.  So, no matter how many times I plead with him to stay my little baby forever, of course, I wouldn't change a thing. 

Sometimes I just wish time would pass a little more slowly...

Caught Up!

I think I may now be officially caught up on blog posts. I was going to make a promise that I will never get so far behind again, but I'd hate to break a promise and that's just too much pressure. I'm going to try, however, to get back on track... Sometimes life just gets in the way!

Preschool

Mixed emotions (for Mommy) on EJ's 1st day of preschool.  I'm going to miss my girl on Monday and Wednesday mornings. :(  She LOVED it, though, and it is going to be so great for her!  She is going to the same preschool Hope went to and, although most of the teachers that were there with Hope have retired, our beloved Mrs. Gordon is still there!  And a good friend of ours is one of the other teachers.

EJ went right in on the first day, excited as can be.  She has 7 kids in her class - six girls and one boy!  Poor guy!
