I was so excited to see my little girl start off on a new adventure. I was also more scared than I have ever been. It is frightening to send your little child off to the world of the unknown. Much to my surprise, Emily handled this all much better than I did. She has so far enjoyed being a big kid with the cool "Bratz" backpack (which by the way is bigger than she is. Hopefully she'll grow into it by the end of the school year), riding the school bus and making lots of new friends.
Emily turned 5 just a week after starting Kindergarten. She had her friend, Regan, over to enjoy the day with her. (I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did creating it.)
Our charming daughter also was the flower girl in back-to-back weddings for my brother's (Anthony & Mirinda) wedding in August and our nephew (Jake & Lacey) in September. She was so excited about getting to wear "princess" dresses. We all know that they were not really princess dresses, but who was going to burst my little girl's bubble?
