Our First Full-Day !

Today was Will's first full-day of school. I have worried about this day for probably 6 years now. Yes, I know that sounds over-dramatic. But, God has eased my worries and has answered so many prayers for us. Today was a real blessing. Will woke up early and was dressed and ready to go by 7:15. We don't have to leave the house until 8:15, because school starts at 8:30 and we live 2 streets from the school. Needless to say, he was very excited.

Those are two happy boys!

Will and his precious teacher, Stacy Chatman, this afternoon at pick-up. She is an answer to our prayers. Will absolutely adores her, as you can tell by his smile!

And so I now enter a new phase in life-- full of room mom duties, PTO meetings, and soccer practice. Gone are the sweet days of changing diapers, Pat the Bunny books, and naptimes.

Another transition, another milestone. Just the first of many I know we will face and God will guide us through. Change is not always easy. As my Dad used to tell me, change is the only thing certain in life. And sometimes, we just might find out change is fun.

Yeah for making it through your first full day. God answered our prayers last year for kindergarten....Caleb had the best teacher. I wish Caleb got up and was excited...he is so not a morning person. He is hard to get moving. The boys are getting so big. Love Will's toothless grin. Caleb wants so badly to lose a tooth but not even one wiggles a little.

Great pictures! I'm glad the first full day went well. That does feel good to begin the change on a positive note. May God bless you with smooth transitions for you all! I'm glad he loves his teacher.
