This is M&E's third week back to school. Once again, they happily headed to their classroom without so much as a "Bye, Mommy". This year they are no longer in Mother's Day Out. That's right, my big kiddos are in Preschool now. Preschool or "Big School," as M&E refer to it, means the addition of carpool line, Spanish, music and chapel. I wondered how they would take to carpool since I don't need to walk them in anymore... Eli just giggled and said, "This is funny, Mommy," as we worked our way up the line. The first few days have been a hit and I anticipate that they will all turn out that way.
To say that I'm ready for the summer to end is an understatement. While we normally love the lazy days of summer, the past couple of months have been anything but lazy. Unfortunate events this summer included but were not limited to a 4+ week-long horrible allergic reaction to a wasp sting for me and the death of my Granddaddy. Nevertheless we continue to praise God through the good times and the bad and find comfort in the fact that He is in control - no doubt about it! We're looking forward to Fall and all that comes with it.
