Beginning of School.....

Ah, the joys and heartbreak of watching your "baby" grow up. So, we start another year at Highland. Aly is a Jr. and already quite involved at the school with Student Council. She leaves at 6:10 a.m. and with cross-country afterwards, she comes thru the door around 5:00 ish p.m. 11 hours without our bubbly beauty. :( THAT is a sad face!!

With the new hours, our family time had to re-adjust. Breakfast is a must (since she doesn't have a lunch break) so, this morning she picked out her most favorite breakfast...which is cinnamon french toast, powdered sugar AND peanut butter, along with grape juice. Aly let me snap a few pictures as she went out the door. How come someone hasn't invented a way to freeze time....freeze moments and memories....ok.....I'm going to stop now...and have a good cry!

Summer Project

So, at the beginning of the summer, I made a list of ALL the projects I wanted to accomplish. What luck! I finished ONE! ONE! What is wrong with me?? Where did the summer go?? Yes, I know it is August, but since Aly starts school tomorrow, summer is officially over. OK......so NOW, I'm going to have "Fall Goals".

What is this, you might ask? Well, in February, Brad and I took Aly and her friend to Disneyland. Both girls had never been or do not remember (considering they were under the age of 2!) So I made a cute little book of memories for each of them. Aly's colors were blue and green and I made a matching one for Rachel in pinks and teals. Here are a couple of the pages.

One goal! GEESH!!!!
