I'm one for keeping the little ones little and not letting them grow up so fast, and sometimes all this stuff just seems to contribute to it, but it sounds like you and everyone else were pleasently surprised. <br />What a powerful talk with many lessons for us all. Thanks for sharing<br />Have a happy day<br /><br{cindy}https://www.blogger.com/profile/06475685252532344615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483633839255984734.post-20058979216399939352011-06-23T22:44:05.849-04:002011-06-23T22:44:05.849-04:00Congrats to BB!

I can't tell you how scared I am to think of my Little K being in 5th next year....which is only one year away from going to middle school. I am so not ready for that (for her), but she assures me she will be OK.

Thank you! :) I just love you! <br /><br />I am in LOVE with that last photo on here. It's just so beautiful, so cool. <br /><br />I love what the speaker at her school said.

I want Boyd to grow up and never make fun of people, never tease, always be respectful of everyone.Nicollehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144472105892524890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483633839255984734.post-33767008532111917142011-06-21T11:15:20.246-04:002011-06-21T11:15:20.246-04:00I have to say that I'm usually all.."why ...I have to say that I'm usually all.."why the heck do kids need to graduate from kindergarten, middle school etc."...but this was awesome.
