A Whole Hand

She's five years old.

Banana pancake birthday breakfast to start the day

Special snack time at school

SJ's first visit to his sisters' school

AE's stats at the beginning of the school year- wonder where she'll end up?

Note: she gave herself one green eye and one brown eye- she's got hazel eyes, get it?

Celebrating with her classmates

I much preferred the few weeks when I could say, "I have a 4-year old, 3-year old and a newborn."

Now she's a whole hand, and I'm a little heartbroken. Just a little.

The rest of me is so proud of her and the little lady she's becoming.
