Dear Johnny...and other Parent Teacher Conference Musings

Yesterday I went to a Parent-Teacher conference for our little Elle Belle, who now at 6 is not so little anymore.  I won't share all the details but I was bursting with pride when I walked out of that classroom!!  It is so nice to hear good things about your own child!  Her teacher shared this cute little letter with me and I thought I would share it here.  I especially love the ending!  (PS--the handwriting is not so good, but she is a lefty after all and is terrible at forming her letters!)  The assignment was to write a letter to Johnny about the word flower using transition words.  There were no other guidelines or instructions.  Elle has a great teacher--I don't remember learning transition words in kindergarten!!!

While the princess sleeps...

While the princess sleeps (Mary Claire has been very sick!)...the cowgirl comes out to play! Funny how this one chooses the Woody costume to dress up in while Mary Claire is out of commission. My question is how does Ellie know how to do the Woody pose? Weird!

We welcomed Elle Caroline Wise...3 years ago today

It's hard to believe our little Elle Belle is 3 years old today. It was fun looking back at the pictures from Feb. 12, 2005! She was a tiny baby and funny to see the newborn pampers so HUGE on her! Mary Claire looked so little...and were those overalls? Not a word KM and RM....that's enough out of you two. Sigh...little babies are so cute.
