My Baby

I find myself feeling a bit sad tonight that my little girl is growing up.  This week we start our preschool events like parent orientation tomorrow night, open house later this week, and the picnic this weekend.  I was thinking about how fast time flew by.  I am so ready for her to go to preschool 3 mornings a week, the girl needs something new to do!  I am also thinking about it wasn’t that long ago when she was just this tiny thing that we worried over constantly.  I then started looking at some old photos and ended up looking at this one for awhile.  This was taken by my mom in 2006 at her house in Nebraska.  It was right after Christmas and things weren’t going so well for my Grandmother.  2006 was a really hard time for my family, at this moment my husband and I had already lost 2 grandparents just 3/4 months ago and here we were again.  No big smiles.  Just big eyes looking at the camera!  She is 1 in this photo and going to turn 2 in 3 months.  Now 3 years later she has her own ideas about how things should run in our house.  What a journey we have taken in the 4 years of her life and it has only just begun!
