I just wanted to show what a cute husband I have! He has adapted well to being the only boy in the house and is very willing to play barbies, dress up, tea party (as seen in the pictures), or whatever else the girls want him to do. We are lucky girls!

(I'm hoping for the day when they start holding a father-daughter campout. They'd love it!)

Our happy kindergartner on the first day of school. She was so excited to finally start, and she is loving it! It's fun to hear about school from Abby's perspective. =)

All of my girls. (Notice Brynn's new haircut! It's much easier to comb and she looks so cute, although it does make her look older. I'm not quite ready for her to grow up yet, too!)

Just waiting to line up with her class...

Just playing while we wait to pick Abby up from school. Ivy is sitting up and chewing on everything.

Brynn is pretty excited to have mommy mostly to herself!

Well, tomorrow our lives change forever...Abby enters kindergarten. Abby and I have both been excited for this day for a long time. She is so excited about school and learning. (She says she's excited to "do her studying".) I know that it is time and I am anxious for her to learn and experience new things. But, the last few days it really hit me that this is it: she's not just mine anymore. For almost 5 years I have been with her pretty much all day every day: I know what she sees and hears and does. But, now she's entering the "world" (granted, it's only kindergarten for a few hours a day, but humor me), and I'm having kind of a hard time! I won't let Abby see it, but I'm sad tonight, and I'll probably cry a bit tomorrow.

Now I understand moms who say they cried more than their kindergartner did. But, I'm sure we'll all be fine...I can't wait to pick her up after school tomorrow, put the little girls down for naps, and hear all about it. I guess that will be special, too. =)

(Boy, how am I ever going to send my girls off to college?!)
