WHERE DID IT GO?

Okay, so I'm all alone. What a weird feeling. They have all successfully left me for the world of "all day school". Maybe I needed another kid, but the reality of it is, that kid would one day leave for first grade too. Lizzie is excited and happy and so very ready, so with much trepidation and lack of sleep - l let her go... and she will be great.

I will be great too, eventually.

THE NEW ME...NO TONSILS ALLOWED

On August 14th, we ventured to Primary Children's Hospital to lose the tonsils that have given Lizzie grief for far too long. The few days leading up to "Tonsil Tuesday" were a little rough and she was very nervous, but when it finally came down to it, we had one teary moment and one very brave little girl.

She really was such a trooper and did SO well. Days 5-7 were probably her hardest. We kept her pain in check and after a week of lots of Hannah Montana and High School Musical 2, she is back to normal (except for the fact she is now extremely spoiled and doesn't let me out of her sight). We are very proud of her and we are so glad she'll be healthy and not have to deal with those nasty things! She still wishes she could have taken them home in a jar...yuck.
