A Milestone.. for us anyway...

This is truly a post for posterity. Today our little girl officially started school! It's both amazing and sad how quickly time passes. It's definitely a good reminder to make the most of every moment. Emily of course was quite gung-ho on the whole deal. With brand-new lunchbag in hand and a whack of new clothes (thanks to Mom) she's entered the next phase of her life. As I said, Emily thought it was the greatest thing. And of course Mommy cried (but not until after we had dropped her off). She came back after her first day very positive. She was proud to announce she had already had a music class, a French lesson and most importantly her very own lunch! Of course Daddy was outwardly calm and positive as usual. But typing this, well, it's not so easy to remain nonchalant. We know she'll do well, but there are lots of times we both wish she'd remain in diapers a while longer.
