This is my big brother Mark with my daughter Jenna.  He was making her laugh so hard I can still hear her.   He has one of those contagious laughs...  He is 7 years my senior, and I have many fond memories of moments like this with him when I was a little girl.

My 6 year old daughter Jenna...

sisters off to school

This is the first day my girls will be attending different schools....the little one is still in pre-school, and big sis is moving on to first grade.... little miss Olivia Gianna (4) was really happy for Jenna Marie (6), just a little sad she missed kissing her goodbye b/c she saw a little gymnastics friend and was distracted...then after we picked Jenna up, Olivia took a nasty spill on the street running along with her big sister and her friends, again distracted...just a glimpse into the future i guess!

first day of 1st grade....

My little girl had her first day of school today... after 4 years at a preschool and kindergarten, where she was one of 15 children in a class. She now goes to a big public school, 1 of 150 in first grade alone! Oh and her kindergarten teacher was my cousin, and the owner of the school was my aunt... think she was doted on??? She had a great first day... I fought back my tears, but she came home filled with excitement, said it was the best day ever!
