E*M*I*L*Y

A lot has been going on lately with Emily. My little girl started Kindergarden a couple of months ago and I could not be more proud of her. She has taken to Kindergarden SO well and is doing excellent. I was worried that she would give me a hard time but she absolutely loves it and is very serious about it. Her teacher is fantastic. I get to work in her classroom every Thursday and I love getting to know the kids and her teacher. They really are a great group of kids and I'm so excited to watch them all grow up together.

Here she is on her first day of school.

Emily lost her 1st tooth. And then lost the second one a day later :-)

She also won her first award. She entered in to a drawing/coloring contest for Red Ribbon week through the police station. And she won! They had a special ceremony for all of the winners and she got an award, lots of gift certificates, and a bunch of toys and goodies. She was pretty excited and we were so proud of her. My parents and us all came to cheer her on.

Her elementary school had there jog-a-thon a couple of weeks ago. I was shocked that Emily actually ran most of it. She's not the sporty type so this was amazing that she even participated at all, let alone run about 10 laps. They all had a good time.
