September 3, 2008 was right around the time my blood pressure started rising in anticipation of my baby girl. Now it is rising again with the anticipation of her first sack lunch and field trip. She gets to go to the apple orchard (NE is the home of Arbor Day) and pick apples with 4 of her best friends - Blake, Jordyn, Elijah, and Gavin. Of course Miss Becky - her most favorite teacher ever - is taking them!
Such an exciting time for our little girl. Hope she will wear jeans and tennis shoes even though she is in the phase where she tells me what she is wearing (not sure this phase will go away) and it is always a dress because she is "a princess and princesses wear dresses so they can dance."
Hope she enjoys this lunch. I made the sandwich with raspberry preserves and butter just like my Grandma Bowen used to make...she put butter on every sandwich she ever made for me I think - even in college. I also put the note - just like mom would - hope Miss Becky reads it to Hannah because I think the only things she will recognize are her name and the 'H' on Hope. Everybody knows that any word that begins with 'H' is Hannah =). If she eats her fish, there are surprise chocolate chips at the bottom. Hope she starts with the sandwich...
