Musings from Kim K.: Mid-week check-in...

May 13, 2015

Mid-week check-in...

I know I've been missing-in-action. MAY is my crazy time with organizing and teaching faculty development workshops and with the addition of Josie's evening softball league and "life-in-general", the blog updating or blog visiting hasn't been as frequent. I'll catch up. I promise.

The biggest event this week is that Emma will be celebrating a very important birthday on Sunday.

My baby is going to be 17 on the 17th! How did that happen?

We're hosting a "Hunger Games" themed birthday party for a bunch of her friends at the end of the month. The party details haven't quite been worked out yet. I've never read any of the books, or watched the movie series, so this should be interesting, but I'm up for the party challenge!

Happy Wednesday.

Shirley Hatfield said...: Your daughter has grown up so much in the 4 years I have been blogging. It's kind of a bittersweet experience watching our children grow and move away us a dance step at a time. She's lovely!; May 13, 2015 at 9:57 AM

Corey said...: Emma was such a cute little girl! And has grown into such a stunning bigger girl (don't want to say lady yet!!). Can't wait to see what you do with a party. You really should read the series- they are extremely engrossing books- I couldn't put them down!; May 14, 2015 at 8:44 AM
Lutka And Co. said...: Yes, I know what you mean. They do grow up fast! Emma is gorgeous in that pretty blue dress! :); May 14, 2015 at 12:22 PM
Pam Kessler said...: 17!!! That's huge! I love The Hunger Games. That should be a fun time. You could probably get away without feeding the kids to go with the theme and all :); May 14, 2015 at 2:55 PM
