first day of school

Here we go again....

back to school 2011,

with a sixth grader (totally breaking my heart),

a fourth grader,

a second grader,

and two preschoolers (but Emily doesn't start til after labor day)....

Oh, and a college student! I've started back to school also....though very part-time. I'm excited about having something for myself and seeing if what's left of my brain can be salvaged after so many years in mommy mode!!

Abby as "Annie"

Abby did Annie dance camp this summer at her dance studio.

During the week they got to cut out patterns and sew their own costumes, sing the songs, learn dance moves, and perform at the end of the week.

She did AMAZING and it was so fun to see her dramatic debut!!!

She got to be Annie!!

I can totally see a future for her in musical theatre!

Didn't see that one coming at all!
