She is no longer in Kindergarten.

Emily may be referred to from this time forth as a FIRST GRADER.

She gets so excited, to be a first grader . It's like REALLY making it to the BIG TIME.

She is a geek. We love her but she is my little geek. She loves the 8 boxes of office supplies Danielle gave her. She uses folders, markers and glue sticks like they are part of her wardrobe. She hides markers and word search books in her bed, in case she can't sleep..

I love this picture. Her eyes jump out and catch the color of her shirt. I added some light, but the color is all her. She cut her hair across the top a few months ago, it looks adorable the way it's growing in.

She is the light that makes us all laugh, because she is so serious.
