1st day of School

Today was Olivia's first day in 1st Grade!  I am still not quite sure where the time has gone and how it is possible that my little girl is so grown up.

She was beyond excited this morning to go to school!  Up by 7:30 and by 8:00 was already asking to go out and wait for the bus.  Since it was raining we drove up to the street and sat in the car waiting and waiting...the bus was over 40 minutes late, and at one point she asked me if maybe they had forgotten to pick her up.   I hope she is always this eager to go to school.

Gotta love that smile <3

I am excited for her and am praying that she has a wonderful year!

Another Snow Storm

It feels like this winter is never going to be over!  As much as I love snow we have been getting hit almost every week with a huge snow storm.  This morning we woke up to another 11 inches and I decided to go out and enjoy the actual beauty of it (since I didn't have to drive in it - LOL) and took a few pictures.

It was absolutely gorgeous and I have to admit that I loved having my first cup of coffee while enjoying the beauty of the snow and how amazing the trees looked.

I ventured out to the top of our driveway to get a picture of our house!  It looks so peaceful!
