She's four today

My sweet baby has grown up into a beautiful little girl. I don't know how it happened. It seems like yesterday she looked like this.

And last birthday:




So now she looks a little something like this. She's so grown up!

First day of school

Kara started preschool at Erie this year. She really seems excited to be going to school, and wakes up EVERY morning raring to go. Someday I'll get her to understand the concept of weekends. We drop her off at school and she gets to ride the big bus home. She loves it! The whole first two weeks of school she insisted her daddy take her fishing before and after school. They are getting pretty lucky it seems!

End of summer fun

Kara has had a lot of fun this summer. Toward the end we had my friend from work bring over her two little ones to swim and see the critters and Grandma and Papa's. Kara and Derek have decided they will be getting married when they are grown up. LOL They are pretty funny together!

I also love this pic of Kara and Landen after a swim. They are having a snack of milk and animal crackers to rebuild their energy!
