This is it

This morning started the process for Kindergarten registration for Girlie and our county. I'm pretty emotional about it. A great deal of my emotions come from the fact that my baby is no longer that, a baby :( But some of it is in relation to where she will go to school.

This morning I headed to both her zoned school and the school that we wish for her to go to in hopes of getting a special tranfer. I need her to be near my work so in the event something happens to her with her skin or eye issues I can be there in a matter of minutes, not closer to an hour. I'm not sure what the Board of Education will decide but I know that God has a plan and his will is of upmost importance. I know that whatever happens with the situation was meant to be. I can't say I won't be upset but I can say that I will have peace knowing that I did all I could do and prayed for what he wants for us as well.

It's so hard to believe that in a few short months my baby girl will be a Kindergartener. Some might think it's silly for me to get so emotional about it because she's already in a preschool program and is away from me during the day. Thing is, it's not just about being away from me, it is about her being grown. This is it... this is the beginning of the rest of our lives - her growing way too fast and me wanting it to slow down!

Send us positive vibes for getting in. I will drop off the paperwork today!

HAPPY SPRING!!

Happy Birthday Nannie!

This past weekend Nannie, as Girlie has named her, had a birthday. She was out of town, as were we, so we didn't get to celebrate until Monday evening.

Girlie requested a cake with pink flowers and one butterfly. Her wish, is my command :) Well and I knew Nannie would love it too! Mostly because whatever Girlie wants... Girlie gets!



Nannie with her cake! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!


Girlie made her two coffee cups. Here she is opening one of them.

I love her expresssion!


We also got her a digital frame for her office. She seemed to love it all!


Wishing you many more wonderful birthdays, Nannie. We adore you!

Peace, Love &

Spring Forward!

HELLO BLOGWORLD!

It's been awhile. My life just turned crazy busy the past few weeks and I've hardly had time to sleep let alone blog. Things are great here. We are LOVING the weather lately and are so glad to see Spring rearing its beautiful head.

I just have to admit that I'm a pathetic loser! I totally stopped Girlie's 365. I just found myself taking the same picture in the 3 hours we have at night before bed and it was uninteresting to me. So I'm taking a little different route. I'm still going to take pics of things we do and things she does but there won't be a picture from everyday. I should have tried the once a week project. I always take a pic every week.

The biggest thing right now and the hardest for me to grasp is that in a few short months Girlie will be starting KINDERGARTEN :( UGH! How...that's my baby?
We are trying to get into a school that is closer to my work. It's still a public school but I just really want her near my work so that if anything happens I can be right there. That and I can go to all the functions and most importantly she can go to her current daycare after school and during breaks so it would be a place she was very familiar with. I'm praying it happens, please say a small prayer too!

This weekend we are heading to Hazard, KY to see friends. We are both excited, that's Syd and me. Daddy will be home all alone as Nannie has headed to WV to see family as well. Hopefully Daddy will enjoy his weekend of bachelorhood, he deserves it.

We are looking forward to Girlie starting back to swimming. It's been way too long and I believe she starts back next Sunday. She's thrilled. She misses it terribly.

Overall, not much going on in the W household. We are just enjoying each other and all things that come with it.

Hope everyone is having a blessed Friday! Enjoy your weekend and SPRING FORWARD!

Under the weather

Girlie and I have been under the weather since Monday evening. It was terrible and luckily I was way more sick than she was. Today we are back to work and school and while I think I should have stayed home another day, Girlie was plenty ready to get back to her routine at school.

Maybe she was most ready to continue the Dr. Seuss week festivities. She missed two fun days and it broke her heart. Today was crazy glasses day and she wore these...

But, what you should really notice here is her hair. Yes, the glasses are hilarious and SOOO awesome on her, but the side ponytail, it's LIKE TOTALLY AWESOME! I ask every morning how she wants her hair done, she's BIG into this now and this morning, she demanded (ok, she just asked not demanded, otherwise she'd be going with her hair how I wanted it) a side ponytail. She's channeling her 80's soul! I love it!

Oh, and check out me wearing the same shades HERE

Hope everyone reading this is feeling well. I'm so glad that you can't get germs from blogs!
