HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HOPE... THIS MONTH WAS FILLED WITH A BUNCH OF 1STS

MY LITTLE HOPE'S BIRTHDAY IS TODAY AUGUST 31, 2009... SHE IS NOW MY BIG 6 YEAR OLD! SHE HAS NOW LOST HER 1ST TOOTH LAST THURSDAY AND STARTS HER 1ST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN TOMORROW MORNING! I'VE BEEN TRYING TO PREPARE MYSELF FOR THIS BIG DAY, AND KNOW MATTER WHAT IT'S REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN... SHE'S GOING TO BE LEAVING ME AND GROWING UP... I WON'T BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT'S SHE UP TO AT ALL TIMES ANYMORE! TOMORROW I'LL TAKE HER TO HER FIRST DAY AND PICK HER UP... THEN WE WILL TRY THE BUS THE NEXT DAY, WHICH PICKS UP RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE (WE WILL FOLLOW THE 1ST TIME ON THE BUS TO SEE THE ROUTINE OF HOW THEY DO IT)! HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOPE WE LOVE YOU AND THANKS FOR BEING SUCH A GOOD DAUGHTER AND SISSY!

OUR 1ST BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT THAT WAS ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 18TH.




THE GIRLS ON THE WAY TO MY COUSIN ROB'S WEDDING RECEPTION.


MINUTES AFTER HOPE LOST HER FIRST TOOTH... BOTTOM FRONT, SHE'S A LITTLE DEVASTATED ABOUT THE WHOLE ORDEAL!


JUST GOT DONE WITH OUR 1ST MEETING WITH HOPE'S NEW TEACHER MRS. ZIEGLER... AND SHE'S HOLDING HER 1ST HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT!


THE TOOTH FAIRY CAME AND BROUGHT AND I QUOTE FROM HOPE "A GOLDEN MONEY"! WHICH IS A GOLD DOLLAR COIN. SHE CRIED WHEN SHE PUT THE TOOTH UNDER HER PILLOW THE NIGHT BEFORE, BUT WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE THE COIN THE NEXT MORNING! ALSO, SHE WAS SO EXCITED OF THE THOUGHT THAT THE TOOTH FAIRY CAME AND TOUCHED HER PILLOW!!
