Back to School

I can't believe my oldest is off to school! Daniel's first day of Kindergarten was today. I started to tear up on the drive to school, but once we were in the thick of things it went by quickly. Daniel knew five other kids in his class which is unbelievable to me since the other class he could have been in, he wouldn't have known anyone.

One of them is a good buddy from preschool so Kindergarten is now a place to get together with his friends.

I pray now that he continues to make good friends, learns academically and comes to love school. I thought I might tear up after saying goodbye but before I had time to think about it, Luke started crying because he didn't get to say goodbye to Daniel. I only had time to reassure him so my tears were averted.

I can't think about it too long or sitting here without my "D" I'll start to tear up again, but this is the start of a journey and I'm looking forward to it!
