Ready for the first day of school!

Hello all,

Today is the last day my daughter will not be in school. For the next 12 years, she will be in organized school. If she is smart enough, she will be going to college for another four or more years. So in short, this is her last night of "just being a kid". It is a sad day for me. My little girl that I once rocked to sleep every night is now going to school. She is a big girl. Where did my little girl go?

Ali,

I hope you have a great night's sleep. Listen to your teacher.

Dad,

Hey there Dad. Your granddaughter is starting school tomorrow. Yep, your first grandchild is about to walk into a school for the first time. The school as asked for Jen and I to come in and take as many pictures as we want, but leave so that the school day can really start. So, if you would please drop in on Ali from time to time I would greatly appreciate it. Please keep her enthusiasm in control. I know that she is REALLY excited tonight. Also, she has been talking a lot about you recently so I am thinking that you may have popped in recently. The thought really puts a smile on my face.

Ok Dad, I should finish this up. Thanks for listening.
