School Days

Annabelle is going back to school tomorrow. 

I cant believe the Christmas break is over so quickly and we are back to the routine of school.  For a little girl who thrives on routine, this will be very good for her, but for a mommy who likes my mornings with this cutie, I am sad!  I am also a little worried about Annabelle's return to school because her teacher found out she had Fallopian tube cancer (resulting in a complete hysterectomy) during the break.  When she was out for 2 days last semester, it really did a number on Annabelle and she was very clearly affected by the change, so I know it will be hard for her to go back and not have Mrs Moran there to make things the way they usually are.  I hate that this poor teacher is struggling with Cancer and my thoughts are of my daughter, but I guess that reveals my own issues.  Never the less, we are praying for Mrs Moran each morning and each evening that the Chemotherapy will kill all of those cells before they attach to any healthy organs.  She should be returning in about 8 weeks at the soonest so please keep her in your prayers.  She is such a sweet teacher and I am happy each time I see her face so I hope Annabelle and I both get to see her soon! 

Also-the above pictures is Annabelle's school picture from this year.  You can always tell a school picture by that familiar blue background and I CANT BELIEVE my daughter has one already! 

It is all happening way too fast :(
