Time just keeps marching on and Lily started 5th grade this year.

Last year our school moved the 5th grade to the middle school so now she’s a middle schooler. I still can’t quite comprehend that.

Now that she’s in 5th grade she’s required to have her own Chromebook, a trapper keeper, has a band instrument, and so much more. Her backpack isn’t big enough for all this stuff.

The good news is she’s getting a lot of new opportunities and she’s enjoying it. As much as I want time to slow down, it’s amazing to watch her grow up.
