Goodbye Summer

The signs that summer is coming to an end are all around. Well, not that the 95 degree days are going anywhere any time soon, but you know what I mean. Back to school sales, school supplies in every store, school buses on the go again, and the return of heavier traffic in the am! My niece Maggy will be starting her first day of school today. It is just kind of sad because I still think of her as a little baby and I know once she starts school she is going to grow up so fast and change so much. She will be a dirty little 5th grader before we know it. Ryan is very nervous for her to start. He hated going to school, cried everyday and begged his mom not to make him go. Me on the other hand I LOOOOVED school. Everything about it even homework. I remember in kindergarden I would do twice as many alphabet pages for homework as the teacher assigned. I was such a teachers pet, for the first year any way! I did outgrow the eagerness and that fat pencil was so hard to write with. Thank goodness they have done away with fat pencils and Maggy won't have to write with one of those. So to our little girl who will soon be a little know it all, I hope you have a great first day at school and meet some great new friends. p.s. my best friend to this day I met in kindergarden and we still talk at least once a week. Love you Jess!!
