The First and the Last

This is Sarah Kate on her last day of Mother's Day Out. We call it school.
Here she is last August on her first day of school.
Here is Emily on her last day of preschool.
Here she is on her first day of preschool.
My heart has been so heavy today. I have had a good day, but I am sad at the thought of Emily finishing preschool and SK finishing MDO.
They are growing up so fast. They have had such good school years this year and we have LOVED both their teachers.

Emily has her graduation in the morning. I will try not to make a fool out of myself with crying.

This makes me kind of sad. Tomorrow is Cilla's last day of school, too and I was just looking back. I wish they would stay little and home with us all day.

such a difference...Emily look so very grown up.

SK...in her last August picture looks JUST LIKE you.

you are going to have so many tearful moments as they grow...but at the same time you will be so anxious for what is next.

motherhood...your heart is outside your body!

Awwww! They are growing so fast! I bawled like a baby the entire morning my son graduated preschool. By the time I even got to the church, I was a mess and it only got worse from there! Today was his last day of primary school and he moves to a different school for 2nd grade. It was sad knowing we won't be going back there.

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck...

Complicated

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....

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
