Lilly Goes to Kindergarten

 Lilly's first day of school at Walled Lake Elementary.

Lilly and her teacher, Ms. Flowers on her first day of kindergarten.

 

Lilly joined me this year at my school, Walled Lake Elementary. We go to school together each morning! It was an adjustment at first, having a partner in crime each morning, but now that we've been doing this for several weeks, we are both use to our new routine. It's nice having her at school with me. I get to see her in the hallways, outside walking in from recess, heading to art and much more. It's fun to see her, plus it doesn't feel like I am away from her all day. She LOVES her teacher and loves going to school. She's becoming less shy during her school days; she'll talk to most of the teachers and answer their questions. I love that everyone is looking out for her. I knew that when I brought her to my school, she'd be taken care of, and she definately is. This couldn't be a better place for her to grow as a 5 year old and a learner!

Summers Over

 Lilly had Laurel and Emma spend the night. They were so excited to spend the day and night together!

 We went to Torch Lake with my friends from work. The girls loved playing in the sand, swimming and just doing whatever. Both nights we had a bonfire and rosted marshmellows. Torch Lake is absolutely beautiful, I hope to go again!

 We watched Sagan over night while my sister and Saylor went to a wedding. He's a doll and we loved having him. Lilly is such a big help. This was a glimps into what our lives are going to be like soon.

 One weekend we took Sophie and Will with us out to the cottage. The kids had a ball swimming, running around and just being kids.

And, we wrapped up our summer by taking a last trip out to the cottage. I love this picture of Lilly and my dad. They were in deep conversation!
Summer's over, which means time to get back to the hustle and bustle of school, work, dance and busy schedules! I'm thankful for the time that I had off.
