New Beginnings
On Wednesday, we had another milestone in our lives. In our church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) our children leave primary at the age of 12 and enter either the young women's or young men's organization. Each year in YW, there is a ceremony called New Beginnings that helps welcome the girls who are turning 12 and spotlights the girls already in the program. Shon had scouts with the boys, so I went with Lissie. We enjoyed a wonderful program, and I watched with bemusement as my little girl grew up before my eyes. She was easily the tiniest one there, even with among the other 11yr olds. The older girls were so welcoming and Lissie was perfectly comfortable with them. Her YW leader is Sister Myrna Hammer, we have worked with her in other callings and she is so nice, I know Lissie is in great hands.

No way! I can't believe she's that old! Where did little Lissie go? Time flies by too fast. Before you know it, you will be attending her high school graduation! Watching them grow up is exciting and sad all at the same time!
Wow, her teeth are all grown in, her hair is flirty and she is darling and looks so much older than she did 6 months ago at Marilyn's funeral. You look different too...bangs!
I can't believe that they are all soo big now, it's soo weird to know that I used to babysit them when they were infants lol
