We have a kindergartner here!

Last night we said family prayers, then Merrill gave Lynn her first back to school Father's Blessing. It was such a great blessing! He said things that even I didn't think about! She was so cute afterward. She kept hugging and kissing him, thanking him over and over. Then Ash hopped in the spot where Lynn was sitting and said, "My turn now!" So she got one too... then we all went to bed, and had kind of a sleepless night... well, all of us except the person who you would think would be tossing and turning...
Then we woke up this morning with a Kindergartner in our house!
She had the breakfast of champions, Barbie cereal and lemonade...
She took a good bath, had a small struggle to comb out all that hair, and then she picked out her outfit...
She was so excited!
She didn't want me to walk her in, so I just watched from the car, and then cried as Merrill drove away.
I did have an excuse to go back and see her, she forgot her bag of school supplies in the car.
She and Ash both went on and on about how much they would miss one another... let's hope we can all cope...

I just read your experience below (about Peyton and Lake Powell). It was very touching, thank you for sharing it. Isn't it wonderful to have the Holy Ghost with us and to be able to recognize it?
