Well the end of summer has officially arrived for the Gilmartins. Daddy's school started today and we have been spending lots of time trying to figure out the logistics of the fall semester. Thursday is Molly's last day of the summer program at Miss Helen's and will have a week off and start KINDERGARTEN on Tuesday, September 2nd. Yes, I said KINDERGARTEN. I cannot believe this day is almost here. I vividedly remember thinking soon after we arrived home from China that it would be a very long-time before Molly turned 5 and would be attending kindergarten and bam like a flash it is here. My precious little pumpkin is starting real school and before we know it, she will be getting her drivers license, going to the prom and looking at colleges. I wish I could capture every single second of her right now in a bottle, she is pure pure JOY. This last weekend we spent Saturday with our dear friends the Williams. Molly and Myka have a great connection as do Janine and I and I need to add how precious little Brynn is. The girls went to "My Little Dollhouse" and had an absolute blast. Well now we look forward to everything fall brings; football, crisp weather, fires in the fireplace, halloween and pumpkins, thanksgiving and of course our favorite holiday season, Christmas. Every month gets us closer to Maggie and we hope this time next year, we have her home.

"Mama Mia"
Since Daddy has been in New York since Thursday, I was trying to find a move that Molly and I could go to. Although "Mama Mia" was rated PG, I talked to a friend who had seen it and said there was no bad language or nudity so I decided to take the plunge. Boy did I nail it on the head. My girl, loved it and was dancing and singing in her chair while munching on popcorn and candy - she had a blast. This movie was adorable, such an uplifting enjoyable flick that daddy would have also enjoyed. Molly was in heaven thinking about her wedding day and her mommy helping her get ready. She is such an old soul and really gets it and enjoys things that a normal 5 year old would never enjoy. She was holding my hand and putting it up to her face during the movie - such a sweet little babe... Anyway, we had a great time and may just have to buy the movie when it comes out in DVD. Good news, daddy comes home in about 2 hours and believe me, we are counting the minutes...
