You can kiss your family good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world, but a world lives in you.

Watch Out First Grade!!

Our big girl started 1st grade today. 1st grade?????? What is that all about????

Today was like old hat for Ally. She woke up at 6:00, 15 minutes earlier than normal so we could take a few pictures before the bus. She ate her cereal like normal, got dressed, brushed her teeth, watched a little TV and headed to the bus stop to see all of her friends. The bus stop is growing every year. This year we had Logan, Sydney, Jack, Treyvan, Ayanna, Molly, Ally, Hannah, Eisha, Caleb, and another new boy from down the street. When you add in all the siblings...Kelsey, Madison, Hayden, and Ben...the little corner on our street is pretty crowded. It is now 7:45 and Ally should be at school, unloading her backpack at her desk and turning all of her stuff in to her teacher. There are no assistants in 1st grade, so she has to remember to do all of it by herself. She's a product of Bo and I...I think she'll be alright!!

Good luck, Ally!!! We love you and we are so proud of you!!!

Time to WAKE UP!!!

Eating Cereal and getting excited about 1st grade!!

I'm a big first grader!!

Mommy, Daddy and Kelsey are so excited for Ally.
