First day of 5th grade

It has been a long time since my last blog post. What can I say, life gets busy and time slips away. I am going to attempt to make the extra time to dedicate to updating posts on my blog... let's see how that goes!

The school year has begun! Kyla is officially a 5th grader! She had a wonderful first day of school and loves her teacher Mr. Cline. For the first time she has a male teacher and while it is the teacher she most wanted she seemed to have a few reservations about the change having always had a female teacher, she has since realized that it isn't really a big deal.

It amazes me to look at the pictures that I snapped the morning of her first day. Wow! My little girl is not so little anymore! Bittersweet really, I am so incredibly proud of the young lady I am staring at in these pictures but I am still trying to hold on... slow down and savor every moment, every milestone along the way and it is passing by so quickly. It seems like not too long ago she was starting 4th grade and what a difference a year makes!


Kyla had her outfit picked our for weeks before the first day of school. The morning of the first day I was barely out of the shower when she popped into my room dressed and eager for the day, even having already made her bed (that's my girl!).

Kyla was not only lucky enough to get the teacher she wanted but also got some of her closest girlfriends in her class! A few close girlfriends were placed in another class... but I guess a girl cannot expect everything!




Looks like it is going to be another blessed year at her fantastic school, with a terrific teacher and great friends!
