All about me paper

This week Lily came home with an All About Me paper that she had to fill in....

I just loved her answers so I wanted to write them down

Then...

When I was little...I loved to watch Dora
I learned....to speak Spanish
I like to think about the time I.....when Brooke came over

Now

The best thing about me...I am a great big sister
If I could change something about me...I would not be angry
I really like to ....play on the computer

Someday

This year I want to learn....science
In five years, I hope....to go to Guatemala and Norway
When I grow up, I'll.....be a horseback rider

2nd grade baby!

Can't believe it!  Lily is a 2nd grader!  I was so blessed to be able to take her to school today and meet her at the bus stop!  She seems like she had a great day!

Beach Babe

Recently, I asked Lily what she would tell her new teacher when her teacher asked her what she did this summer.  She replied, "I went to a lot of pools and beaches.".  Ain't that the truth!

We have spent the last 3 of the last 4 weeks at the beach!  Lily is a total beach babe!  Her confidence in the water is incredible.  She learned not only to go over the waves this year, but under as well.  She always wanted to be taken out!

Needless to say...it's been an awesome summer!  On Monday, Lily becomes a big 2nd grader. I can't believe it.
 
Also Lily has a new nickname....we frequently call her Lily Bean...which recently has gotten shortened to Bean or Ocean City with Abuelitaeanie.  It's so cute to hear Ashton call for Beanie!
