Back to School

 Here's my crew on their first day of school today.  As you might guess, everyone was less than thrilled to have mom take the obligatory photo before hopping in the big red bus suburban to head on our way.  Oh, well...perhaps some day they will miss all of mom's silly emotional requests on special occasions and holidays. I did choke up a little as we backed down the drive after praying for our school year.  I thought about Mikaela starting her junior year and only having 2 more years with us, Jacob starting as a high school freshman this year, Joseph heading back to school in 7th grade after homeschooling last year, and Maimie starting some preschool at home this year.  I'm sure it doesn't help that WE ARE ON DAY 50 OF OUR WAIT FOR LSC.  Ugghh!  Maybe tomorrow...
