Growing Up

I snapped this picture of Natalya just minutes before getting in the car for school.  She's looking so grown up to me!  Where does the time go?

On top of that, she just found out she gets to play the part of Alice in her Musical Theater classe's Alice in Wonderland.  We're still in shock that our little girl who used to rip her finder nails off (until all her fingers were bleeding) has gained so much confidence in herself that she is able to sing, dance and act in front of an audience with ease.  And the best part: she is excited to be Alice and ready for the challenge.  She's such a big kid.
