December 29th is one of THE best and most exciting days of my life!!!!!!!!!! Emily was born on this day! She did and still does bring so much joy and happiness to our lives.
Happy Birthday Sweet Emily! We LOVE you soooooo VERY much!
Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now. Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago. We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun! No stress at all, as far as I can remember! I just played. I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year! Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons." WHAT? I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go? I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST. I guess that's a go

Just realized how long I've been reading your's & Kelly's blogs! She was only about a year old when I first started reading about her!
Katie and her girls...
