Some People Sing Because They're Happy, I Blog Because I'm Sad

Tomorrow- less than 24 hrs- my baby girl starts Kindergarten.  Yes, you heard me right, Ellie Marie Develin is in kindergarten.  She was so excited to get her school supplies, and picking out her backpack was how I foresee picking out her wedding dress.  It took lots of time and patience and yes, we are sporting Smurfette for the first day-complete with matching lunch box and thermos.  Today, we went to Lovely Nails to get her toes painted before school.  She and her friend Anna Young had a great time.  Then we went swimming and played around.  It wasn't until tonight when she went to bed that it hit me.  I have a Kindergartner not a preschooler.  So, I did what anyone in my shoes would do.  I cried, then ate a king size Hershey bar, then snuck in her room for one more picture of my preschooler...she IS a preschooler until tomorrow.  I love you Ellie.

Our Happy Place Part II

We just got back from our Happy Place and no one was ready to come home.  We all had such a fun relaxing time.  We ate great food, slept late and had lots of fun with our friends the Haffey's.  Until next time Destin...You will be missed.

Happy 9 Months Rhodes!!

So my sweet baby turned 9 months old.  I can't believe how quickly time flies.  Rhodes you are such a happy baby and are such a blessing in our lives.  Your sweet smile melts my heart.  Your check up was great because you only had to have your finger pricked.  You didn't even check up when she stuck you.  You weighed 20 lbs. and were 27 inches long.  She said in a round about way, you were short and fat, but it would even out !  Mama wouldn't want you any other way!  You can say Mama, Daddy, Nana and Bye Bye,  your sister is ready for you to say Ellie!  Thanks for being such a blessing. We Love You!
