Lily Grace: 3rd Grader

Today was the first day of school.  That meant new clothes, shoes, a new backpack filled with supplies and one little girl filled with excitement.  
Lily Grace was so excited in fact that at 1:00 a.m. she comes downstairs into our room and informs us that she is still laying in bed awake and can't go to sleep.  
This morning was no different.  She was all smiles and happily bounced down to breakfast with no fuss about a restless night.  (Matt and I figure the excitement will carry her through today and she should have no problem sleeping tonight. HA!)
I still can't believe that she is starting the third grade.  But she did!  With new school clothes on and her hair in a french braid she walked in with that big smile of hers and after a hug and a kiss, settled into a new year. 
I don't think saying goodbye to her will ever get any easier.  I miss her terribly throughout the day but know that she is truly enjoying school.  She  always has and I pray that she always will.  
Daddy and I are so proud of you Lily Grace.  You are an amazing little girl and such a blessing!  Go and be the best you and make yourself proud in third grade!
WE LOVE YOU LG!!!!!

Lily Grace was so excited to get Mrs. Hudson as her teacher.

Lily Grace knew that a friend from last year was in her class and was saying how fun it would be if their seats were close together but she knew that probably wouldn't happen.  She was very happily surprised when she went to her new seat and saw that her friend was sitting right across from her.
