Hi friends,
I missed you last week… did you miss me too?
If we were having coffee today I would tell you that…
I decided that this week was way too much of a my child is almost 4 in my face kind of week.
I want to punch it in the face.
And time too… for ticking by so darn fast.
There have been way to many moments this week where I’m reminded that my baby is growing up.
I hate that.
First there was the preschool birthday celebration, complete with rainbow cupcakes and a rainbow dress.
Then there was 1st dance recital picture day. Yes, the girl is wearing make up. I felt like a Toddler and Tiara’s mom just without all redneck drama.
Um, then the last day of preschool. How did we go from this…
to this?
Like I said….I want to punch this week in the face for making me all, “my baby’s turning 4” emotional.
Then I would tell you I’m excited for my roommate from SNAP Conference to arrive tomorrow.
For us to sip ice coffee in the sunshine tomorrow afternoon with this sweet friend.
To do a Duffy Boat ride Girls Night out, complete with this Artichoke dip
and these high ball mason jars filled with sangria and fresh fruit.
On Saturday we’re headed to

Are you coming? If you are I’d love to meet you!
If we were having coffee what would you tell me?

Adorable, sweet pictures of your daughter–time keeps ticking away, doesn’t it? One of these days I will link up–the kids begin their summer vacation today and I still have a week to go: ( I am so ready for a break and to begin my new one day a week teaching gig. God is so good!

I would have loved to make it to Elevate, but I’ve got a lame cold (so I guess it wasn’t meant to be) 🙂 Your daughter is darling! Is it crazy that I remember bits and pieces of preschool and kindergarten 20 years later? Time flies!
Jill says
Yes! I did miss you last week! I was drinking alone 😉 So thankful you had a great trip with your love!
Laura @ Our Reflection says

HAVE SO MUCH FUN this weekend. 🙂
Rachel @ Polka Dots and Lemonade says
If we were having coffee, I would totally ask you if you’re sure you want to stop time. 🙂 (only half joking on that one…) While I don’t want my girls to grow up, there are days (like today) when they try my patience so much that I don’t think I’ll ever make it!
I am going to Elevate tomorrow, and I’m looking forward to meeting you!
