Almost year ago, I posted that Emmy would be starting Ready-K in the fall. I am excited to say that she skipped right onto the Kindergarten. We felt she had the skills, and St. Ursula's was willing to let her try. School just agrees with her. She loves the structure, her friends, her teacher, but she loves mommy coming to help out with workshop the best. Workshop starts about 10am with the kids being divided up into groups by table.

Yesterday a wedding, today a birthday. A very happy birthday to my handsome husband.
