Jillian Goes to School & Jude is 3 (weeks!)

This morning I got two special texts from my sisters-in-law with some fun pictures attached!  The first was from Akina: today is Jillian's first day of kindergarten!  She is getting so big and we can hardly believe she is already in kindergarten.  We are so proud of her!  Here are some pictures before the big day:

She's so ready!

Good luck kisses from Mommy and Daddy!  Love these - SO SWEET!

The second text was from Catherine: Baby Jude is 3 weeks old today.  He is looking very alert and focused in this picture.  It's hard to believe it's already been three weeks.  The time seems to fly by.  Before we know it, it will be Jude in those kindergarten pictures above!  What a big day for the Thorpe family!  

"Hi, everybody!"  :)
