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???
