First Day of Preschool!

Okay, so preschool started on September 6th and I am just now getting pictures up. 

Better late than never right? 

Here is Abby very excited at breakfast:

 

Still excited and ready to go out the door:

 Our little 4-year-old got on that great big yellow bus:

First day of school!!!!!

We have a 2nd grader now!

Had to laugh at her backpack bursting with the necessary school supplies

that was almost too heavy for her to carry.

Abby waiting inside with her goofy grin.

Preschool won't start for another few weeks.



Daddy was holding up the backpack for her so she could walk. :)

Off the the bus stop!



Popsicle Time!

I love all the expressions! Cracks me up!

One year ago today

One year ago today, I had surgery to fix my awful bunion on my right foot. It was painful every day, almost every step. And ugly too.




A week after, it was swollen and gnarly.




Now today, one year removed, it looks lots better. Just a faint scar line is left that is still fading a little at a time. No more daily pain with each step.
