Milestones
A few things have me reflecting these days....
I have a little girl just 5 short days from her first day of Kindergarten! The past 5 1/2 years have flown by, and I can't quite believe we are to this point already.
My mom had these great little school days memory books for both my sister and I. She cleaned out all the keepsakes & mementos a few years ago when she & my dad moved, so I now have these items stored in my own closet.
I pulled it out the other day to reminisce about my own early school experience, and to share it with Meredith as we talked some more about starting school. There is room for a photograph and key info (like height, weight) for each grade, along with teacher's name, friends, and favorite subjects. I was a little shocked by how much I weighed when i started school (53 lbs, compared to my little peanut's 38!)...but I shouldn't have been...I was always a "big girl." I seriously stopped growing in about the 6th grade.
The Blue Eyed Bride had a post recently about school pics, so I thought that I'd go ahead and share!

Goodbye Paula
Hello Posh???
Really?
I have to say, this one surprised me. I have become a bit of an American Idol junkie in the past season or two. I never really watch the early seasons. I admit that I enjoyed some of Paula's ramblings as much as the next person, and she did manage to put a positive spin on most of her reviews. But I was pretty annoyed by all the Paula/Simon antics. They often acted quite juvenile....I don't really see Mrs. Beckham playing those games...do you???

Father's Day
So I suffer from major blog neglect! I am a great reader & commenter...just not so much the writer! We'll see if things improve...
We are off to start our Father's Day celebration a little early. Taking the kids to see UP! They have been waiting and waiting for their token jar to fill up (tokens awarded whenever they get "caught" doing something great!).
Disney is the master of the cross promotion, so we have seen all the previews to this during our normal Disney Channel viewing...we do need our daily dose of Phineas & Ferb!
I'll let you know what I think!
Have a great Father's Day weekend!

Spring!
I think that Spring has finally sprung here in NC!
Kevin and Meredith spent many, many hours creating and prepping the garden area several weeks ago...and now the temperature has finally allowed us to do the planting. Mere has been super excited about all the preparation. This is our first gardening experiment. Wish us luck!!!

where to next?
Thanks to Kristi, I spent a little time trying to find my "ideal" spot. I have no plans to relocate anytime soon...but it is always fun to daydream!
Here are my top picks....interesting. Not what I thought...I must have been pretty adamant on those "no snow/cold weather" questions!
