First Day of School

So last week was the first week of school. Sorry no pictures. I am a slacker this year but in my defense I was starting the day off at 5:15 am. That's right. Ren is now in High School and his bus comes at 6:20. First day of high school was pretty traumatic for Dave and I. Dave gave Ren a blessing and drove him to the bus stop and waited with him until the bus arrived. I don't know how cool that is but sending your child into a den of lions isn't cool either. We were both relieved when he came home in one piece with a smile on his face. Savannah was a little easier. It's her 2nd year at middle school but she's the only one there now and without Ren to look after her we were still a bit concerned. So Dave again laid his hands on her head for a father's blessing and sent her on her way out into the world. Last but not least came the 3 little monkeys. Emma being a 5th grader is an old pro at the elementary scene and Jordan and Jackson have been there and done that being a 2nd and a 1st grader. We were more concerned about the little boys behavior than anything. They have installed cameras on the buses now so now they will have proof of the chaos they cause. My husband lovingly sat his boys down and talked to them about being a good example and well behaved for their teachers. He then blessed the 3 youngest before sending them to school on their first day. So no I didn't get pictures for their first day of school but I do have a lasting memory of the sweetness of the morning. I love all my children and I love that I have a wonderful husband that cherishes them and protects them.
