Another of so many firsts... Emma is a bus rider now - and she couldn't be more thrilled! And she couldn't look more grown standing there with her friends waiting on the bus to pick her up! And I'll admit it - I got teary eyed all over again watching her get on the bus yesterday.

When she came home yesterday she was non-stop talking about her day again - so happy that she enjoys it so much! Gonna try to hold onto that feeling when she's in junior high and complaining about school!

After work & school yesterday we loaded up & drove down to the hospital to see my daddy. He had surgery yesterday morning on his neck - decompression & fusion on 4 of his vertebrae. Ouch!!

The kids were definitely good medicine for him!! He looked great & was actually already up and moving around...he even walked us to the elevator when we left! He should get discharged today - keeping our fingers crossed for a good word from the doc!
