This past Thursday Matthew started to phase-in to Kindergarten at Nolan Elementary. He will go back the following Thursday and then start going everyday starting the next two Wednesdays. It is a nice way to ease mama's into letting go! This is a bittersweet time for me personally because as I watch him and the teachers gear up for school ... I am not. This is the first time since 1986 that I have not gone to school myself (as a student or employee). We have faith that this is God's plan for our family ... because in about 6 weeks or so we will welcome our third son into our lives. As I am learning to let go of the past I am hopeful for what is to come: One on One time with Issac, Helping Matthew transition to Kindergarten, Staying at Home with the new baby, Getting more involved in community organizations ... Life is very full right now and we are thankful for God's continued grace ... even though it may not be easy ... it's easier because of Him!
Matthew's First day of School ... and so it begins!
