Today is the first day of school. We made it through all three rounds of buses with no problems, well, almost no problems. As we waited for the 17 minute late elementary bus, Chris asked how things went this morning. He said he thought it went well since he didn't hear any yelling! Ben had packed his lunch yesterday, so the time between Fred getting on the bus and Ben getting on the bus was smooth. Peter couldn't find a tennis shoe. He had one, but we still haven't found the other. Since today is PE day, he couldn't wear his sandals, his original plan. They all seemed happy and ready to take on another school year. I feel kind of guilty about being excited about the first day of school. It's not that I don't want them here, but having a schedule is just better for everyone. The last week has been a challenge as jitters erupted resulting in WAY too much touching. I have to admit that I have enjoyed the quiet this morning. There is no one asking to play Wii, have someone over, or eat something. I'm so thankful for seasons and changes that come along at just the right time.

WE MISS YOU GUYS! I'm so glad the first day went reasonably well for everyone. Schedules are good! And I wish we could go out for coffee tomorrow morning at 10!
Me too! Thanks for the encouragement.
Paula,
Glad the boys got off to school in good form. Hope they had a great first day. Things will be MORE HECTIC now that they have school PLUS games and practices, but you are used to that. Hope the boys have a GREAT year.
Talk with you soon. MOM
