INDEPENDENCE is a wonderful thing but it's bittersweet at the same time, especially when it involves your children. Today was the big day for Jacob, I let his brother (Jordan) take him into school for the first time. He has been wanting this since the first day of school but my heart couldn't let it happen that fast! I promised them a trial run today if they both were good this week. They were super excited last night when I told them that today was the day! We went over drop off rules (no horse playing, take your brother to his locker, make sure he gets into class and head to your hallway). They both kissed me good-bye and my heart left the van and entered the school. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This hurts so much but it is for the best. In one breath, I am telling them to make sure they do this and that because mom isn't always going to be around and in the next breath, I'm saying that I'm not ready for you to grow up. It is hard being a parent but at least they are excited about independence and it's not being forced on them. I love my boys, it's hard raising them but God makes every day a new day and I am so thankful for that!

aaagghhh!! tears!!! You were a few cars in front of me and I noticed the boys walking in. Monday is our big day..my boys have also been talking about it all week. Today I didn't walk down the hallway I just watched from the double doors. I was about to leave when Eli came running down to give me one last hug. Sooo bitter-sweet. You are such a good momma and they will follow the example you have set. I am so glad we are in this together. With God's amazing grace and prayer we will get thru this adventure called parenting....luv ya!
