I had a blast with this family, back in the summer! They had one of the prettiest yards I have ever seen! I wanted to bring a tent and just camp in the back yard, it was heaven! Enjoy

It seems like yesterday that I was holding the most beautiful newborn I ever seen. The love that was created in the moment I laid eyes on her can never be broken. It just grows and grows. Today seemed soo far away that day, I remember thinking how long it was gonna be before she went to school. Then WHAM that far away day is here! I just don’t feel like it should be time yet. Whats next?!?! I wake up tomorrow and shes graduating?! It’s just going soo fast, I really wish there was a pause button ( totally crying while im typing this, ughh im a baby!). So here’s how the morning went.
6:20 am…..Me: Milan, get up baby….Milan: I’m sleepy…. When she said that I soo considered just letting her stay home one more year lol ( i just don’t want to let go)….But then I told her it was her first day of Pre-K and would be soo fun. So she got up, and got in the tub. We washed her hair, blow dried it, and fixed it. Daddy Made her Pancakes, While she ate I packed her Lunch; Ravioli, Carmel and apples, Oreos, Chips, and Juice all packed in a pink sparkly lunch box. After she finished eating she watched Oswald, and I dressed her in Hot pink Lace Leggings, Pretty pink dress, with a cute headband. When daddy finished getting ready we proceeded to the porch for photos. During all of this I was fine, I was like hey im gonna do this without a break down! Milan and I rode separate from daddy because he had to be at work right after walking her in. While we were at the stop sign she told me she wanted to ride with daddy lol, I told her it was too late we were almost there and she said” I will tomorrow” 
….As we started up the hill to the school ( we live literally 2 min from the school) I started getting a little sad, but in my mind I was like I can do this without crying! We get outta the car and daddy meets us to walk in. I took a bunch of pics of her walking in, We talked with Billy, and stopped to talk with Shala. As we approached her class I was fine. She went straight in and right to the treasure box haha. We watched her get a puzzle and set down….About that time another mommy was telling her son bye, and that’s when it hit me! OMG…… Im really about to leave my baby for the first time ever, the one thing in this whole world I can’t live without, my heart my soul, with complete strangers for 5 1/2 hours! Literally, this child has never been in daycare, never stayed with anyone but family, I mean she even went on our honeymoon with us ( yes I couldn’t leave her and yes we had a kid before we were married lol). Then the tears started flowing, I really thought I was gonna make it with out crying, uhh yeah right. I pulled my self together took a couple more photos, told the teachers how to pronounce her name, & Kissed my sweet beautiful baby girl by twice. As we left I cried all the way to the car, Jeremy hugged me and told me it was gonna be ok, and I came home.
Yesterday My intentions for this day was to drop her off and come back home and sleep ( because I haven’t had a real nights sleep in 4 years lol). But, I really miss her already, I can’t Go in there to sleep without thinking about her and crying. So Im gonna set here and look at this computer screen till 1pm, then drive to that school as fast as my car will go to get my sweet girl! I really hope this gets easier! I can’t do this everyday! Here are a couple photos of her today ( un- edited snapshots)……I love you Milan and I hope your having an amazing day, Because this is the worst day of Mommy’s life ever!
Xoxo,
Mommy

If your friends with me on facebook Im sure u have seen this image. I painted this piano myself Im proud of my Lace Paint Job! I put this session together for a contest I was in a few months back. I totally fell in love with the set, but oh my was it lots of work to put together. Soo here’s the deal…. Im offering this as a type of Boutique Session, and there will only be 1 piano session scheduled per month. It will have a increased session fee price ( due to work required for this session, the piano weighs a TON!! ). If your interested in this special type of session email me Chantena@gmail.com for more details.
