Back to School ~ Third Grade

It's hard to believe that my baby is starting third grade. Eight years old and next month she will be Nine. I say it all the time but really, where does time go. I love my girl so much. She is so compassionate to others and is kind and thoughtful. She really goes out of her way to make others happy. I am so proud of the girl that is slowly starting to turn into a young lady. Before I know it she'll be 16~yikes!
