You know you are getting old when . . .

. . . your prom dress, that you looked all over to find, is now a costume at a 80's retro dance. I guess that I just have to face it. The large shoulder pads and criss-crossing lace will not be coming back.

Plus, Cassidy looks better in it than I did.

Pictures of the first day of school.

Here are the first day of school pictures of my girls. I tried to create a slide show, and just couldn't do it. I would love to have any advice you could send me.


Hannah - first grade


Kait - 3rd grade


Maddie - 8th grade


Cassidy - 10 grade

My other daughters Lindsey and Willow

First Day of School

My children are back in school. I now have all my girls at school full time. Everyone keeps asking me what I am going to
do with all of my free time. I haven't had any yet, so I can't tell them.

Hannah loves first grade. She comes home laughing about the funny things her teacher does and all the fun that she has at recess.

Kait is happy to be in 3rd grade. She was excited to discover that a friend of hers, that she thought was going to move, didn't and is in her class.

Maddie is excited to be the oldest group at school. She is excited to be in Theater and Concert Choir.

Cassidy is feeling a little overwhelmed. She has a tough semester with both Advanced Chemistry and Pre-IB English. She will have to work and study, but she will do well.

I hope you are having a great beginning school year.
