    My 4.5 yr old had her pre-K graduation a few weeks back. This was her "yearbook" blurb. I'd be lying if I said it didn't bring a tear to my eye!

    So, you know when she's a little older, and all chapped up, wearing a helmet running your saw... we're gonna need lots of pics. She's a firewood hoarder on the loose... :yes: Must have been fun to read her note the first time... :D

    She's a good kid, eager to see all the stuff I've got going on. She even splits kindling with me holding a hatchet and her swinging a dead blow hammer.

    She is very much a girlie girl at heart, but hey if she needs to bring her "baby" along for the firewood hustle, so be it.

    Thanks for all the kind words.

    Except for the fact that she looks like mini-me and when anyone reminds her, she says "I wish I looked like mom." Can't blame her there.
