A Mom Moment...

Sigh..........sniff..........wipe with tissue.........repeat.
Deap breath.........Ok, so my baby girl is about to start Pre-school next week. Lilee is thrilled beyond belief...I am, well, NOT thrilled. I can just picture it...
We hold hands as we walk towards the classroom door...
she giggles with excitment...
and as her little hand lets go of mine...I loose it.
I'll probably be the only mom there that is still in the parking lot when everyone else is returning to pick up their kids. Yes, I know I'm being dramatic...but it just seems way to soon. I feel like she's still 9 months old. The past 3 years have gone by so fast...it almost takes my breath. I guess I have to let go...she's ready to be a "big girl". So...in hopes of preparing myself for next week, I agreed to let her try on a few of her new school clothes. I told her it would be way too hot to wear jeans, long sleeves, and a hat. But for this girl...you can't tell her anything! (I wish I knew where she gets it from??)
I'm wiping my tears even thinking about it...I'm gonna need a lot of prayer!

Boy! my little girl is growing up to quick. I have already seen my son grow up and he is starting Middle School. Now my baby girl is going to school. I really miss her when I am gone. Her voice, her personality, and the way she looks at me. If I didn't have her in my life I don't know what I would do. I would have to say that its not only my daughter that has changed me... it's a combination of my wife and my kids that make me who I am today. I am not perfect, but I will try my hardest to be the best influence in both my kid's lives.
I love them both...And Lilee, you are so beautiful in your new school clothes.
Love Daddy

OMG...you even made me cry! Can you believe it? :) She is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life!!! I can't believe she's starting school but you know she will have a blast and when she gets home will probably be so excited to tell you about everything she did that day. Love you both!

We'll I can't hardly see to write something..with Brians comments, your comment to him, then Aimee's comment along with the song....I am lost for words...and that doesn't happen very often.
This little girl is such a gift from God, she is exactly like her Mommy. Katie, now are you starting to see just why I feel the way I do about my girls? but...I will say one thing...This little Angel is way beyond even Gramee's dreams! She is just what Gram has sang to her since day one...Lilee is "OUR" sunshine!!!! God knew what he was doing when he made this one and then trusted us enough to let us have her to love for a lifetime...
Katie, you are a wonderful Godly mother and thank you for allowing me to be...me..with this little Angel from Heaven!!! I love you!

Looks like we have a model in the making. In so many ways, just like her beautiful Mommy.
