First Day of School

This Mom was not ready for this. The kids were starting their new daycare this week and when I went to drop off the final paperwork we were given our first school supplies list. We made a quick run to the store picking out our new markers, scissors, glue and more and next thing I knew it looked like we were ready for our first day of school! I thought I had a few more years before I was marking and labeling each item for my two little ones, it was a bittersweet moment for this Mamma! The kids were so excited and couldn't wait to start their school. Keely has been asking for a while to go back to school so she could play with her friends, read stories and learn so she can be smart. It was a very exciting morning and no tears for anyone (including Mom). We're growing up!

(Couldn't get the kids to sit together for a picture so I settled for single shots)

Looking Back

When did my baby girl get so big?!?!
Today Keely climbed into the swing insisting that it was "ee ie's urn"(Keely's turn). So in she went and enjoyed some R & R. I had to look back and found this picture of Keely at 6 weeks old! So crazy to look back then (just two years ago) in our little apt. in Italy with our new baby girl as new parents. Not having a CLUE what we were doing and just trying to survive each day. Well, not much has changed! But so far Keely seems to be turning out alright and I think Brayden is too, so something must be right. Looking at her now seeing how much she's grown in such a short time really brought a tear to my eye. Just imagining what she'll be like as a kid... teen...young woman...wife...mother! I know she's only 2 but as everyone has said, "the time will fly," it truly has and it made me want to take one moment today to stop and enjoy my baby girl.

Keely is only one year old and she's already grown before our eyes. Here she is ready to go shopping. Such a girlie girl!
