The Big Day....

Today was Aida's first day of Kindergarten....she was so excited...so beautiful and so grown up.  I always knew that this day was coming but it felt like a steam train hit me this past few weeks when I thought about how fast the time has gone by.  Today was a day of mixed emotions...total excitement for Aida and how much her life is going to change now that she is in what she calls her new "big kid school" and a little bit of worry as we turn our baby girl over to the world to learn how to be independent and strong in a great big world.  Some of these pictures are from meet the teacher night last week as we got ready for school.  The picture below is of Aida and Mr. Elledge her teacher.  Or as she describes him -- the "handsome bald gentleman that is her teacher."  Wonder where she comes up with this stuff????




This is about as still and Christopher would stand this morning with her...



Daddy walking her into school...we also stocked the classroom with some needed supplies...no we didn't go grocery shopping on the way :)
Aida in line before they all went off to their classrooms. 
Her favorite part of the outside of the school is this wishing well...I cant wait to take her picture here on the last day of school too...its going to be a new tradition. 

Congratulations on your first day Aida!  Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you.

Mothers Day 2012...

A little out of order but still a wonderful day filled with the blessings of my sweet family-- definitely deserved a post :)  The day was so great and so special.  We had lunch at Steven Fields, and then came home to play in the yard and act silly.  You can tell from the pictures that it we all had so much fun.

This was definitely one to remember...happy heart

Aida's Turns 5!!!


On June 7th Aida turned 5!  We had so much fun celebrating in "Barbie Spa" style this year.  It really did hit me this year how grown up she is and what a big girl she has become.  Alex and I couldnt be more proud of her.  This year we had her party at Sweet and Sassy.  It was so much fun.  Aida and her girlfriends got "chocolate facials," pedi's and mani's, a sassy hair style and of course there was dancing and a barbie cake!  Aida really loved her party and the fun time she had with her friends.  It was really a year to remember.












I should also confess that I cried when I saw her dancing with her friends.  It was so great to see how happy she was and confident she was enjoying her birthday.  It just made my heart so happy it overflowed to my eyes with tears...

This was a special year...

We love you Aida
