Update and Preparation

UPDATE: The boys did great on their first day of the 2014-15 school year.  Even Ronnie enjoyed Middle School and said it was "fun"!

Here they are getting off the bus in front of the house, along with a couple of kids I watch after school. (they were trying to duck out of the way - really whose mom would embarrass their kids by taking pictures as they get off the bus?)

When asked, all 3 could only think of positive things from the 1st day, and they were all grins!

 PREPARATION:

Tonight Maddie and I read this book!  

Excited doesn't really seem to capture her right now!  She's waited "a long time" for Kindergarten and she is soooooo excited for tomorrow.

Me...well I'd love to hold onto her forever.  I'm sure there is more I need to show and teach her.  As I tucked her in tonight and prayed with her, I kept wondering what I had forgotten!  Nothing, nothing that matters.  She will do great!  She knows the ONE who will go with her and I have to trust that He will go beside her every step of the way.

So hard to let her go, knowing that I will miss things.  But I'll send her tomorrow morning with lots of prayers and trust that Jesus will protect and guide her! (and I'll probably wipe away a few tears too).
