First Day

The first day of school came fast and furious as we raced home from Wyoming to start the new school year.    

We have a 4th grader, a 2nd grader, and a Preschooler in the house.

As we stood outside getting ready to leave for the first day, I couldn't help thinking about the first day last year.  How scared and unsure we all were.   Our first day in a new school. A mother's heart will never forget those big tears that fell down Owen's cheeks as he waved goodbye to me.

 This year there was no tears from the boys, they were excited to get back to school.  It is all such a good reminder to me that time changes everything.  

The tears came from a devistated little sister.   She didn't know where in the world her brothers were going and why she couldn't go also.   She cried and cried and even ran down the street after them screaming "Owie, Owie".

I am just so proud of these boys.   They are each so amazing and my heart is just full thinking about how they will change the world.
