10th Grade

I cried yesterday. Yes, I have been sending this boy off for school for the past 11 years (plus preschool) and it does not get an easier. This time I watched C walk out the door in the dark and my heart sank. Time is going by so quickly and I just sent a sophomore out the door. I only have three more years and then I will be sending him off to college. Oh my! I know next year will be hard because I will watch him drive off to school. Then I can not even think about his senior year! I guess this year was hard because he has grown 6 inches in the past 7 months. He is no longer this little guy that looked up to me with those blue eyes and said it will be ok mommy. Now he looks right at me, rolls his eyes, and sighs. He does know how to make this mom feel special. He woke up 5 minutes early just because he knew he was not leaving this house without our yearly picture. He knew I would need an extra few minutes to ask him if he has everything and to wish him good luck on his first AP test. I tried to drive him down to the bus stop and I got the look, definitely not going to push it. Instead as the tears flowed he gave me an extra tight hug and was off.  I spent the day playing with the twins, making the house spotless, counting down the minutes to find out how his day was, and a lot of time in prayer!

C is home!! The twins were so excited to see C walk thru the door, they missed their big brother today!
