18 days and counting. Carlie - my baby - will be starting Kindergarten in 18 days. What concerns me the most? Carlie's heart is enormous, and so very soft. And quite simply, girls are mean. I don't necessarily look forward to some of the changes that lay ahead of my daughter. The attitude we so consistently correct, the manners we have worked so hard to be habit, and the attitude of servitude and putting others first. Those are great when you are surrounding by loved ones, will they be acted out once she is away from us? And who will take advantage of her huge heart? Time will only tell. Once I get Carlie in Kindergarten, I can then move onto the worrying for Lucy and preschool. Lucy will be starting in September. My girls are growing up right in front of my eyes. I know I wished away their babyhood - mind you I am not the baby lover - but I sometimes pray to God, can I please freeze them now? Can I keep their huge hearts and love for their parents that they have now? Right now, next to Jesus, I am the most important person in their lives. Just looking at this picture melts my heart. The innocence of childhood. Once it is gone, you never get it back, do you?

Wow....you couldn't say it any better! The girls are adorable! It's so hard to stay in touch with everyone. I'm sure they are keeping you busy. You all look great! I love the BLOG!!!

Great pics on your blog!!
Good luck to Carlie on her 1st day of Kindergarten! Addison starts Aug. 19th, ugh!
So true and perfectly stated...although I would prefer a newborn baby over these crazy toddlers/pre-schoolers any day of the week!
So what's up w/ the "removed comment"...is there a story? LOL
Well that entry brought tears to my eyes!! I guess those are worries I will encounter in a couple of years... I'm with you, can we freeze time right now. Raegan is also growing up too fast!
