I have a 3rd grader

I have been really struck lately by how grown up Mikaela is getting. She really enjoys spending time with her friends, talking on the phone, and having sleepovers. I am not sure when it happened but she is definately not my little girl anymore. It seems like the only time I can get her to slow down long enough to talk with me is right before bed, so I cherish that time with her. Mikaela had her last day of school on Thursday and she is very excited for summer and to be able to just hang out (with her friends of course).

These are pictures from her field trip at Oxbow Park.
