Big Day

When did this...



become this...


Today is Rowan's first day of Kindergarten.  A milestone... a huge milestone.  She was so excited and ready and so was I.  I cried... she didn't.  It was quite comical, I've never seen so many moms wearing large sunglasses.  At least it was sunny so we had an excuse. 

There is one image I haven't been able to get out of my mind as I have been preparing for this day.  And that is the first moment I laid eyes on her when she was born.  I will never forget how I felt... how thankful I was that she was here, how I loved her more than anything, how ecstatic I was that she my daughter.  I was NOT thinking about today- packing her lunch, doing her hair, walking her to her class, kissing her goodbye and seeing her dissappear into a pack of 5 and 6 year olds.  But I still feel the same- I am so thankful that she is a part of our family.  I love her more than anything (tied with her daddy and sissy).  And I am so unbelieveably ecstatic that this little, although getting bigger everyday, girl is my daughter.

Look out world- Here comes Rowan!
