Time flies....
My little baby is a 2nd grader....I can't even believe it. Before I had a child of my own, I used to poke fun at parents who would talk about their kids growing up so fast and be all emotional about it. "Ugh", I used to think...I'm sure with a little rolling of the eyes. But here I am....my kid is growing up so fast. And I'm emotional. Ugh. Sigh.
So today we had the annual 1st day of school photo shoot....the one where I make her wear the "Care Bear" backpack that she wore on her first day of preschool. The first few shots she's all into it....and then she's over it. I promise only a few more pictures, and of course, we have to get a shot with the real backpack...the one that's probably too big for her.
Yeah...that one.
Ok...c'mon, just a few more...
"Really, Mom?"
I love my 2nd grader....she is already smarter than me too.
Hope you're all enjoying your first day of school, or whatever it is that is going on in your life....
Peace out.

Playing a little Laura + Amanda this morning with Abby....today we are doing some "paperwork" and Laura interrupts me with the following:
A little later on, Laura had a little gasp and looked at me to say:
Frankly, I'm a little worried about her actually hitting the work force....please pray for her. And me.
"I got a phone call from a man that was wondering if we had wi-fi. I told him that we do have wi-fi but that we would have to charge him $5.00"I'm glad we got that all worked out....
A little later on, Laura had a little gasp and looked at me to say:
"Can you believe that I came to work all fancy and I didn't put my make up on"This followed by a quick grab of her lip gloss and mirror from her purse and subsequent gloss application.
Frankly, I'm a little worried about her actually hitting the work force....please pray for her. And me.

I came home from this gym this morning to find this going on in my foyer:
Leg stretches. Water is close by for her re-hydrating needs, as
well as her "garbanzo bean" can weights
Abby with her "garbanzo bean" can weights.
Our church has a kids "Fitness Camp" during the summer months at the Sunday evening service. The leaders teach the kids different exercises, things about good health/nutrition and also about their spiritual health.
When I walked in, she was laying on the ground extending her leg and opposing arm out and counting to 10. I was so utterly fascinated that I sat down on the couch and watched her complete her workout. She also mixed in a few things she learned from her time working out with Uncle Anthony during our time in CA. She doesn't want to be locked down to just one set of exercises, you know...
After her workout, she informed me that she was going to be wanting a healthy breakfast. As opposed to the Twinkies and Ding-dongs that I normally feed her, I guess. That was a joke, by the way...
She also informed me that this routine will be incorporated into her daily activities. I'll let you know how that one goes. I did mention to her that I only worked out 3 days a week....it seemed like she was stifling a scoff, but I can't be for sure on that one. At any rate, I am encouraging her to continue focusing on good physical and spiritual health. In the same breath I'm also reminder her to ensure my garbanzo beans are returned to the pantry.
