Ashley - The Big School Girl

I must say, Ashley starting Kindergarten has been very bittersweet. I have been very excited for her to start this next adventure in her life, but am grieving the fact that her first 5 years of life have literally flown by. As I sat writing her an encouragement card to give her on the first day, I began to get teary eyed knowing that things would change. However, I know that she will grow and learn so much this year which outweighs any of the sadness I feel.


I'm not the only one missing Ashley, little sister Abby was missing her as well. She kept asking me when we were going to pick up Ashley, and when we did she gave her the biggest and longest hug ever. I guess what they say is true, distance does make the heart grow fonder.


Ashley did great on her first day!! She walked right into the classroom met her teacher, Mrs. Ramirez and found her best friend Olivia. The first week went well, and we are slowly getting into the habit of driving to school each day. We are all looking forward to what this next step in Ashley's life brings and pray that God will lead us through it step by step. Thanks for your prayers for our family and your continued love and support. Stay tuned for a post about our little Abby.
