as im sitting here in my quiet house crossing off the last few tasks that i would like to get done before i go collect my children, i am now just realizing that an entire month has already gone by. where did all that time go? wow! and here i am remembering the first day of school.....oh, what a day:)
both kids started new schools this year. ryder heading to 3rd grade and quinn heading to kindergarten. they were both super excited and super anxious all morning....and so were we (the parents).
ryder made pancakes for us, this is his specialty, and then we had a dance party (like last year), dancin to our favorite tunes on the summer mix!
jesse drove ryder to his school, and quinn and i walked to hers. the first day was not the easiest, we actually had a few "seriously" moments with the schools, but we managed to get through the day!
our new routine is still a work in progress, but every day gets better.
it's so hard to let go of summer, and transition into the school year, where we all feel the burden and stress of being disconnected. so we are finding our new grove, finding ways to stay connected, finding ways to be with each other, having quieter afternoons, family time, lots of hugs and snuggles, and lots and lots of stories of "what happened today at school".
