And they are off.....

4th grader, 2nd grader, Kindergartener.....

It's quite the week...as most households, we are off to another year of school!
Wow! The years pass by and these kids keep growing. I am so thankful to be their mommy and most of all to have invested their earliest years at home. No regrets, that is my motto! Caden and Macy had their first day of school on Tuesday. This was an easy transition, because they know the ropes. They know the bus routine and they know the school, so they were ready for this adventure to begin!



I have to share the beautiful countryside, where we watch for the bus to arrive!


Julia and Noelle enjoyed their last two days of playing together as "best friends"...as they call themselves. We watched for the bus to arrive home at 4:00 to greeted Caden and Macy, as I am coaching constantly to Julia..."See...this is exactly what you will do." She is oblivious!!!


Until her and I get to go see the real deal. We visited her teacher and classroom together...she was all confident until we stepped into the school and she saw the lines and lines of kids....LOTS of kids!!

And she gets shy!! I'm thinking, "NOOOOO!"

However, God shows up in many small ways during our hour at school. She comes out of her shell and really takes to her teacher and is proud to now be in the "blue" group!



And there is a glimpse of the bus coming in the distance! And that beautiful scenery!

They are off! No tears for momma....maybe just a few sniffles! I am thankful for Josh's words as he left for work this morning (MY STEADY HUSBAND!)--"You be content and happy today. You have done your job and she is ready.".

Julia has the same Kindergarten teacher that Macy had. Macy made this card for Julia at supper last night. So, So cute! Once again, the Lord showing up!

Our family enters a new season! 3 kids in school, 1 at home! I am looking forward to this year. Noelle and I will be buds, and we will love it when that bus comes home at the end of the day. I am thankful, so thankful how God prepares our hearts for changes.
