back to school






my two boys went to school today. some of us were excited and some were nervous and some were sad. can you guess who was what?
Caleb started a new school and is in third grade, he was very brave and went right into the class room, when i hugged him his little heart was thumping so fast. i know he was really nervous. he had a tummy ace yesterday and scary dreams last night. good thing he knew two boys in his class from church, i think that helped him relax.
Carson was so excited he kept doing a little happy dance. went i left his class room he looked a little nervous so i blew him a kiss and he gave he his huge happy smile.
i was the one sad. i promised the boys that i would try to be brave and not cry, but as i walked away leaving my two oldest boy all alone in a new school i broke down. its hard to send your little people into the world on their own.
last night reed gave them the best going back to school father's blessings, i think it will be a great year!
