It's Time!

Yep! It's that time again... back to school! New uniforms, socks, shoes, even underwear! These kids have outgrown it all! Add to that the supplies that are "required" to stock not only their own desks and backpacks, but also the entire classroom, and we are well into the hundreds!

I now have one in 2nd grade and one in 10th. It's amazing how fast time goes by, and how soon my oldest will be in college!! COLLEGE!? We've been talking about schools, his plans for the future, career paths and such. Each time, his younger brother gets teary-eyed at the thought of his best buddy leaving home without him, so now we've had to start discussing it privately.

Our oldest ended last year on the Honor Roll and I have no doubt this year will be the same. :o) Had there been an Honor Roll for 1st grade I know our youngest would have been on it. He reads well above his grade level and is as smart as a whip! They are both extremely smart young men, although the oldest forgets to apply himself from time to time. I've been told that comes with being a teenager. ;o)

Like most parents, I'm full of hope and high expectations for the year to come. I've really enjoyed having them home this summer and being able to spend more time with them. The ability to be a stay-at-home Mom is truly an amazing blessing! Don't get me wrong, I DO enjoy my peace and quiet!! But my kids are my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
