A year from now, our nest was going to be empty. No more parent-teacher conferences. No more report cards. No more proms.
Now, our nest won’t be empty for another 12 years.
I couldn’t be happier.
Miss L, Class of 2023, on the first day of school in an outfit made by Mom, and all the love and good wishes we could send with her.

How cute is she?! And she actually looks happy to be going to school. How did you do that? I’m dreading the first day of school with my little guy.

Mary, she looks as beautiful as ever, if a little nervous on her first day. I am so happy for you that she wore an outfit you made!
Sending best wishes to you both for this wonderful new phase of your life – and hoping not too many tears were shed. Just one more thing – happy sewing!

This is so exciting. your girl looks stunning in this outfit. My daughter will start school in 3 weeks, and she’s very tense.
I wish you daughter the best of luck!

Okay, your blog post made me cry. Admittedly, I’m a little hormonal lately, but really, it was SO sweet and touching and sincere. And I loved it. Miss L looked beautiful (as always) and I’m sure you held up quite nicely, too. I know it’s a big day for Momma too!

OMG! How is it possible that Little Miss is so grown up? I didn’t think it had been so long since I’ve been here.
