First Day

I can hardly believe how fast our little Alexis is growing up! Today was Alexis' first day of Kindergarten, a day that was invisioned in my mind the hour she was born. This was a day that carried so many emotions for me as her mom,  I really didn't know how I was suppose to feel. I was happy and excited for her to be on this new adventure in life; yet for some reason, I was also sad. I was sad to see my little girl begin this new adventure because now I have invisions of her high school prom and graduation. I know that day will come just as fast. In the meantime, I am going to hug and kiss my kindergartener and praise her for coming this far already!

As you will tell by her pictures below she was one excited girl, who had just become a kindergartener!


The night before...there was a lot of anticipation before the start of school. We read books about school, had a count-down, and traced her hand (which will be done every year until she graduates).



The BIG day...September 6, 2011
 Thanks Chad for capturing these precious pictures today!

 Alexis and Mrs. Junkert!

In her desk and ready with a smile!

I know you will have the best year ever!!

A New Journey


Dearest Alexis...as I walked past the refrigerator this evening, I saw that you only had 4 links on your count down to kindergarten chain. This visual reminded me that you have grown up and you are ready to embark on such a wonderful journey....the school years. I write this letter to tell you that I am thankful that God gave me the job of helping you grow. I thank him for allowing me to be your mom and to make sure you are safe and loved. Everyday I make decisions on your behalf that effect your life and well being. It is my job as your mom to guide you and lead you into making your own decisions. I know that you will have ups and downs along your journey, but I know you'll pull through. You are sweet, strong, and very much loved! Good luck and have fun on your new journey, Alexis!
Lots of love, Mom
