Ist Day of School

On August 27th the kids had their first day back at school. Luke started 3rd grade and Grace began kindergarten. Luke has a really hard time starting anything new and was having lots of anxieties about a new year. So you can see he had been crying since the night before and then Grace hit her head on the door on the way out and then she was crying too. Isn't the most pathetic first day of school picture you have ever seen?? Then once we got to school Grace did not want to seem excited because Luke was STILL crying, so she thought she better be sad too...I did get her to smile for one picture once in class and then you can see she did not want me to go. She finally let me go and then I took Luke to his class. I think he was the only 3rd grader in the whole school crying. We met his teacher and he seemed like such a nice caring man, so I knew Luke was in good hands. I was able to compose myself as I walked back to my car and then when I got into the car I couldn't help but be a little emotional. My kids are growing up and it is nice to still be needed and missed by them!

Deep thought for the week

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, I think another cute thing to tell him is, "Probably because of something you did."

Deep thought for the week

"It takes a big man to cry, but it takes an even bigger man to laugh at that man."
