I cannot believe how fast Ana is growing.  I know, I know.  Everyone says it, but it really is true.  Time flies, and they grow up before you know it.  Since Ana Grace is our first born, she is the one we learn from first.  I wanted to post a picture of her last year on the first day and compare it to this year.

I love how her mind works right now.  She has had several things to look forward to... first it was Mayerli's birthday party, then it was the beach.  Today we went to see the "library kids" (the team hosted a carnival for 3 of the library locations), and tomorrow she so looks forward to going back to school.  This past week she went with me on my grocery store run.  I bought food for her school snack.  She picked out strawberry yogurt and honey wheat crackers (that's my girl).  Tonight before bed she looked at me with the most excited face and said, "Momma, tomorrow I have school!  And I get to eat yogurt and crackers!"  I love that she finds such joy in the simplest things in life.  She is an example to me in this way.
