This week is going to change my life. My daughter Mackenzie is starting Kindergarten.

I have so many feelings about this new chapter in our lives. I am excited for her, because I know once she gets settled in she is going to enjoy going to school. But I am also sad to see her grow up. I can't believe she is off to school. I feel nervous too; she hasn't really been away from me much. Her only time away from me was when I was in the hospital having baby Faith and then again when I had Avery. Well, she has had a few sleep overs at grandma's and her cousins house.  

I know that she is ready, even though she is a little apprehensive. She keeps telling me, "I don't want to talk about school." We have been getting ready: new school clothes, shoes and her school supplies. She has been saving up her "Box Tops" for education already too. She is excited about going on field trips and being able to draw while at school.

Wednesday I will get to go to school with her, to meet her teacher get her acquainted with the other kids and get her used to her classroom. But Thursday Tom will be dropping her off all on her own. Not really sure how she is going to react. I am hoping for the best. Tom will probably be sad to drop her off too. 

I will let you know how her official first day turns out.

Another big event happens this week...

Avery turns 1 on Saturday. It is amazing how time flies by. One year is already come and gone. Seems like yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital.

My baby girls are growing up, and way too fast.
