I don’t cry very often, but this morning I shed a tear. Not when I dropped her off, and not even when I was driving away. I cried when I opened these pictures. When did my baby grow up? I cannot get over how beautiful and amazing she is, and OMG, she is SO grown up! I blinked and there she was….

Today was the first day of 1st grade for Ally – she packed and RE-packed her backpack a million times this weekend, and finally, the day was here!! She was so excited – and I cannot wait to go home and hear every detail!

Last night, as I was grocery shopping, I was thinking about just how LUCKY we are. It’s been a crazy few years, but I haven’t for one second forgotten how lucky I am. So, I walked outside the store, all gooey over 1st grade and my crazy blessings, and I was greeted with this from the Acme parking lot…

I don’t believe in signs, per se, but this.. this is something – validation, I guess.

    They are definitely NOT supposed to be growing up this fast!! I can’t believe Ally is in 1st grade. I hope she had a wonderful first day. She looks beautiful in her uniform :)
