First day of a new journey


Our oldest daughter started kindergarten today and I bawled like a baby...even now if I think about it too much I'll start crying.
I knew this day would arrive and it's such a weird feeling, excited and sad all at the same time.
She's such a wonderful girl in every way! I'm so thankful that God chose me and her to be mom and daughter.
So now I'm sitting in a VERY quiet house as my son is napping and wondering what I'm going to do. I mean I know what I'm going to do but it's all a bit of an adjustment. I'm reminded, again, of how fast time flies. It seems not very long ago at all that I was holding their newborn little hands in mine and holding their floppy heads safely. Wow! How do you redeem the time with them each and every day? Isn't there a way to make it all slow down? I'd like to know how...if it's possible...but I know it's not.
So I will try my hardest to enjoy every single stage in their lives and always let them know how much they mean to their dad and I.
