First Day of Preschool.

Today is the first official day of preschool, although Kay moved up to this new room a couple weeks ago. She was so excited to bring her backpack to school! It is amazing how the small things bring such delight to children.

I think it is so funny how big her backpack is on her!
I am really having a hard time with the fact that she is already in preschool. I can not fathom where the time has gone. She is such a big girl now, and growing so fast still. She learns something new everyday, and just absolutely amazes me.

Friends.

Kaya loves playing with Ani. Ani is Jeremy's friend Mark's daughter. She is a year older than Kaya so Kaya thinks she is awesome!

Last weekend of the year at Big Star...

Our car rolled 50,000 miles on it on our way up to the lake.

The water was pretty cold for my liking, but Kaya was in it a lot this weekend.
She even swam out to the swim dock again with Auntie Karen.
Watching the sun set on the dock with Grandpa.
Shucking some corn for dinner with Grandma.
Napping with Daddy. So cute to me.

Awww.
Grandpa was doing his exercises and Kaya had to join in. Luckily I had my camera handy!

We had yet another great summer with the Sterk's up at Big Star. We just love getting away and spending some quality time together as a family. We appreciate that they allow us to come take over their place so often.
