It is that time again, time for school to start. Sometimes at this time of year, I am really excited and sometimes I am really sad. I love to see the kids come into school with their new backpacks, clothes and school supplies. There is so much excitement the first day and so much hope for the upcoming year.
So why sad do you ask? As the new kids come into the school, I reflect on my own children and the years gone past. Julie loved the first day of school and spent weeks preparing and planning what to wear and how to do her hair. I would take a picture of Julie and Jacob on the first day of school and reminisce at how much they have grown. I no longer get to take those pictures as they are all grown up. In fact, this year my nephew Cotton leaves for his first year of college. It is Paloma's senior year. Niece and Nephew, Aspen and Mason are freshman in high school. The time is flying by - I miss my little ones. I guess that is why I stay in school:)
