noteworthy?

Not much new going on around here, which is why I haven't posted anything.  Sometimes I wonder if anyone really wants to read the stuff I put on here....  Mostly it's for the few family members who read it, and for myself and my girls in 20 years and we want to reminisce.  If there are any other readers out there these days, thanks for sticking with us!  I know our lives aren't all that exciting!

Here's what's going on....don't know if it's particularly noteworthy, but here you go.

Rachel got a haircut.  She wanted it short, so short it is.  She keeps looking in the mirror saying, "I look so different!"

Rebecca makes animal noises.  She's now got her own versions down of a dog, cat, cow, lion, and sometimes a rooster.  They're quite comical.  She's working on learning body parts.  She can point to my nose, but not her own.  She can point to her ears, hair, and sometimes her feet.  She's learning.

Rachel starts kindergarten in three weeks.  THREE WEEKS!  I feel like it's the beginning of an era.  An era I'm not ready for.  And one that I know will go by way too fast (the past five years have gone by in a flash).  We've been doing lots of school shopping.  She picked out her first outfit completely on her own the other day.  Usually the things she likes aren't things I would pick, so I don't buy them (I know that will have to soon change, but for now she wears what I buy her without much comment--unless it's tan!), but this time I liked what she chose, so we bought it.  And she was so proud.  She told the cashier that she picked it out all by herself for kindergarten.
