(Lauren 8 months, Jen, Nate & Ella 3 1/2 years old)

The "big cousin" is off to preschool for the first time today. She was so excited to go to school! I called her this morning at 7:15 and she had already packed and repacked her backpack and was dressed and ready to go. The bus will pick her up from daycare and drop her back off just in time for lunch! The picture to the left has them all waiting for the bus with Ella at daycare.
I am in a bit of a state that I can not even begin to imagine her old enough to go to school. I was even a little emotional through the smiles while on the phone with her that she is in fact a big girl at 3 1/2 and that preschool is just the beginning.
