Oh the places you'll go...

We are SO proud of Sheridan as she starts Kindergarten this year! She has battled through more in the past six years than most do, certainly before Kindergarten. This is a big day! She is such an amazing little girl and we are so grateful that she is in our lives every day. Since today had me thinking about all that she has overcome to be walking into a kindergarten classroom, I thought I would put together a few pics from the last six years...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She absolutely loves school and this year is no different. She was SO excited this morning...after she got on the bus Patrick and I headed over to school to meet her when she arrived. It was harder than we thought it would be to leave her at the door to her classroom, but she was so ready to go in and meet her new friends!

Wish Trip!

Many of you know that Sheridan was given an amazing wish trip to Disney World through the Make a Wish foundation. We left last Friday morning and got back tonight! It was the most incredible, unforgetable and magical trip!!! I took hundreds of pics and some video too...because there is so much I am going to share them over the next week or so. Tonight I am posting a few pics from the party that her wish granters threw for her before we left :)

1st day of school!

Today was Sheridan's first day of school and she was so excited!!! She has a new teacher, Ms. Allison, and a new school, Lake Seneca. For those of you who don't know, Kevin, J.B. and I all went to Lake Seneca :) She picked out her outfit this morning and we got a few cute pics of her and Sam too! She had a great 1st day and can't wait to go back tomorrow. She loves school and we think this is going to be a great year for her!

Sun, Sand, Family and Lots of Fun!!!

I realized that I never blogged about our trip to Bethany, which was the highlight of our summer! It was the first time in three years that we were able to go to the beach, and we love to be at the beach :) We went to Bethany this year and had a blast...we always do when we all get together! We were missing some of the crew this year, but hopefully we can all be together next year for Nancy and Justin's wedding. There are a lot of pics here, but I couldn't leave anyone out and just couldn't choose between some of them! Enjoy :)

Sheridan is preparing to give Grandma a run for her money with the crossword puzzles!

So adorable!!!

Sam was pretty much terrified of the water until the night before we left...it made the trip a little more relaxing ;) but I hope he gets to enjoy the water more next year!

Sam was in heaven! He definately needs his own stick soon!

Sheridan would ask Hannah to build a sandcastle with her, but it was really just so she could smash it :)

Sheridan absolutely loved having her "toes in the water" ;)

My beautiful girl!

The last two days we were there overlapped with Madeline & Andy's vacation so the kids got to play together on the beach :)

Such an awesome trip!!!
