My babies are growing up; today Abigail started first grade and Gracie started fourth. Sometimes, my heart skips a beat when I realized how quickly the years are passing. But, I love seeing the amazing people they are becoming. Their first day went well – they were both excited when I picked them up. We met a friend at McDonalds for ice cream and they chatted non-stop about their day. I hope their enthusiasm lasts, at least for the first week!
