Independance Day

Just wish I had a bit longer with their hands.

Today is a milestone. I just sent my youngest off to kindergarten and am about to stick my oldest on the 'Jr High' bus.

How'm I feeling?? Old...and a bit sad (mixed with excitement for them).

I have never been sappy about my kids going off to school but this year feels different. I'm so very protective over Lila and her speech issues (related to her cleft), that letting her leave the nest is slightly worrisome for me. This Independance Day might not be such a party after all:/

At least I know Cade will be alright. I asked him if he was excited for Jr. High,

"no"

...was he nervous,

"no"

OK then. I guess no expectations are just about the right expectations for 7th grade:)
