Our pretty girl

Kennedy brought home her school pictures on Friday, and I have to say, I'm delighted!
I think they turned out so darling!

I can't believe she is seven, she is just getting too grown-up. She is definitely my easy child right now, the only time she gives us much trouble is when Hudson has finally pushed her too far...I can't believe how well he can push her buttons, it's probably his greatest talent...

She is so helpful and happy, and I can't believe how smart she is. She is reading at a third grade level right now, and loves to read to herself in bed at night. She is almost finished reading Heidi (an easy version, but still!) and her next selection is The Secret Garden. I love that she is reading all of my favorites from when I was young. She is always so excited and happy when she gets home from school, full of stories and loves to tell me about everything in her backpack and what happened on the bus that day. I really hope she keeps that enthusiasm her whole life!

And just for fun, here is a picture of me I found the other day, at Kennedy's exact age. Wow. I don't think she looks anyhing like me. Good thing she has a good-lookin' Dad...

Shelli, circa 1987...I'm sure this was taken after several recesses...

  1. Kennedy's picture is so cute. She is such a doll and I'm happy that she and Sirri are friends.

    Don't you just love the bus stories. Sirri has the most of those.

    I NEVER would have guessed that is a pic of you. You were a darling little girl, but it really looks nothing like you. I do however, see Tayler.

  2. That is such a darling school picture, that is a very hard thing to accomplish! I love that you posted one of you too, so cute! I think you look a little bit alike but mostly like Dustin. But now I want to see him in first grade :)Jen

  3. So Cute! I love to see both those pictures together! Ok, so I'm not as good with hair as you are. Never did get that frizzy perm look mastered, not nearly enough product.

  4. I see some resemblance. You have to teach me to do Bailey's hair like hers, it is so cute.
