new chapters

there are a million + 1 things going on in our house right now but the one thing i am constantly focusing on is this one, my sweet bean. kindergarten starts in 6 days {6 DAYS!!!} and i'm focusing on spending every ounce of my spare time with her. because after next wednesday she will be gone 5 mornings a week and although i keep telling myself i'm ready i know i'll be a basket case come drop off time. why must baby-hood fly by so fast?

on top of that news we will be at stanford tomorrow and my girl will need to be brave for more needed tests. it's always a bit traumatic for her when we visit, due to previous experience with surgery and tests, but this time we're trying a new plan and seeing if just one person going, instead of the whole support system, will make it easier. partly because she moves from one person to the next searching for ways to talk us out of what is necessary. and partly because we all love her so and want to be there for her. but she keeps telling me this time she "feels braver", so cross your fingers and say some prayers for us that everything goes smoothly and the results will mean no more surgery. please.

also... kenner road is coming along amazingly well. i've been spending the week ordering product and putting together new digital kits as well as continuing to work on the website. i can't even express how amazed and grateful i am to all of you who have emailed for subscription information and sent your support. i was a bit stunned by the response but it's all good and a newsletter will be going out this weekend with subscription information and more. if you are even in the slightest bit interested i suggest you send me an email {subscriptions [at!] kenner road [dot!] com} as the first few months i will have limited kits and they will be available on a first purchased, first served basis.

other than that i am a smiling, happy, excited and inspired girl this week. i feel surrounded by support and beautiful energy and i am ready to start the new chapters that my family, and my new business are about to begin. and i owe a large portion of that feeling to all of you...

so, thank you.
again.
for being here and being my friends.
for believing in me.
you are truly cherished and appreciated.
with all of my heart.
xoxo

ps : a couple of you have asked about the new torn photo overlays i've been using lately. i bought them here after seeing them on amy's blog. aren't they fab!?

I feel for you Kerry Anne! I remember the first time my boy went to kindergarten. Yes, I cried (secretly, on the way back home). He cried to, that tore my heart out. Now this little one is fourteen years old, lots of other worries and letting go moments :-)

Soooooooooo sorry for misspelling your name! (blush), Kerry Lynn!!!

Thinking of you as your daughter starts school and goes through her tests.

I am so excited for you and your new adventure!!! Also kindergarten's first day...big tear jerker for me. Hayden was so ready and excited last year for it to happen. He thought kindergarten was some magical place like Disneyland. He just ran and never looked back. Liam and I were just left standing there. So sad for me...the dark glasses helped.

praying things go well tomorrow for you and your little girlie and that there is a good report from the tests!
