Wow, where did the time go?!?!? Today we sent our sweet little Isabella off for her first day of Kindergarten. She has been excited for this new KINDERGARTEN adventure all summer! She was fine up to the point where mommy said, "I'm going to go, but I will see you soon!" The water works started and broke my heart. We have been reading "The Kissing Hand," to prepare her for this day, so I kissed her little hand, and with tears in my eyes too and a lump in my throat I turned and walked away. No one could ever prepare a mommy for this day. It was so hard to leave my baby girl at her big new school.
I feel like the older I get the better my Birthdays are! I celebrated my birthday all month long, with my friends and family. On my BIG day Blade told me to pack a few things he was taking me away for the night. Well if you know me you know I hate surprises, but this was a great one. First he took me all the way to Hamilton to eat at our favorite hamburger joint, Storms, by this time I am a happy girl! After Storms we hoped back in the car, jamming to Patsy Cline bound for a little R&R in Glen Rose. Glen Rose is a little town an hour away from the big city. The second we stepped out of the car in Glen Rose I went into a picture taking frenzy. We spent the day walking around taking in all the quant little shops and friendly people of Glen Rose. That night we had dinner at a fabulous local restaurant, Riverhouse Grill. We walked around till the sun went down before we ended up at our little B&B. All in all it was so nice to just get away, relax for a second and have some time with Blade.
Special thanks to Melissa for Bellinis and pizza, The Van Stavern/Ambrose Gang for a fun night at Bucca, Phillip & Cheryl for beautiful flowers and Mi Cocina, & Eli & Momma Jacques for a girls night out at Truluck’s, it was fabulous!!!
Last but not least thank you to my husband for always thinking of new ways to to show me how much you love me. Blade, you are amazing and I love you!
I am so blessed to have such amazing friends and family, who love me and keep me feeling young.
I can't believe my baby girl is 5! She is growing up so fast these days. Before I know it the summer will be gone and she will be off to Kindergarten. I love the person she is becoming & can't wait to see what my little butterfly does next.
We have created this Blog for our friends and family so that they can always check in with us and know just what is going on with the Van Stavern family. We love you all and hope you enjoy!
