Miaja's "BIG" Week!






Miaja came home from school yesterday, sat down next to me on the couch and said, "Mom, I've had a really big week!" I thought that was pretty cute, and she actually has had a fun (BIG) week! Miaja's kindergarten class performed in a Veterans Day celebration which was really neat. Since we have been "full-blown" military I have definitely grown in my appreciation for those who serve in the armed forces and their families. Especially those men and women who leave their families for months, even years, at a time. It takes real team work for a family to do that successfully and a respect the dedication and devotion I see in so many who serve. Miaja also had a bike rodeo, (I forgot my camera), and had a blast! True Miaja form, she did all the obstacles without a moments hesitation and completely focused. She's got some real drive in her that I admire. The best part for her was that she and her three little friends all happened to have the same princess bike just like a little girl!) This week, Ott Elementary is celebrating books and to top the week of the kids got to dress-up as their favorite book character. I knew before she said a word who she would want to be...FANCY NANCY! Boy, was she fancy this morning! It's great to see her get so involved and really have fun at the same time. She's really becoming quite the big girl!

She is getting so big, makes me sad. I love that she was Fancy Nancy, they have some new books out that I really want to get for Carlee.
