The First Day of School



Taneal started 3rd grade and Camie started 1st grade. They were so excited to go until the morning that going was a reality. They were really quiet that morning, ate their yummy oatmeal (mom can't quite cook it like grandma), helped pack their lunches, and insisted on hot rollers in their hair! Where did that come from? I had to pull those rollers out and dust them off. But they still worked great and Taneal and Camie were pleased with the results.


They caught the bus on the first day. I felt like such a bad parent, not

walking them to their class on the first day. And then as the bus drove off and I was busy keeping Danielle and Spencer out of the road while holding Nathan in my arms, I didn't even cry! Wow, my first year not to have the tears a-rollin'. I knew they were safe, I miss them terribly, but they love school and were excited to go. My house is so quiet and empty with them gone. Yes, I still have THREE kids at home, but it is too quiet here. I am still so busy, but I miss them.
