We are off to a fantastic school year! So far..... so good.
The weekend before school started, we had a "back to school celebration" with the Millington family. Gayla shared her family tradition with us and made the cutest school bus cake.
I can hardly believe that all four of the kids are in school ALL day!!!
We have an 8th grader (that is still making me pinch myself to see if I really have an 8th grader)...
a 6th grader...
a third grader...
and a first grader...
I clearly remember when Jackson was about one, thinking how far away this time was, when they were all in school - and that it would never come. I mean, really? It's really here?
With new stages of life comes all kinds of new challenges, new joys, new "How am I ever going to do this?" new "I'm scared to death to be a mother" and new "Life is pretty wonderful" times. This truly is a good stage in life, I think. I am enjoying it. I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but today, I am enjoying this stage.
So now it's just Anela and me all day. I am so lucky!
Every day we have cereal together after the kids leave to school.
She always insists on "reading" the box.
I love this girl.
