Back to School!

Well, today was the first day of school! I cannot believe my little boy is in the 2nd grade -- crazy! Time really has gone by soooooooo quickly. I was just telling Randy over the weekend that in just 10 short years from now, our little boy will be starting his senior year. Makes my heart ache a little bit :( I will just hug him tight while I can, and cherish each and every precious moment, to the best of my ability!
I usually have a hard time, emotionally, at the beginning of each school year. I just love summertime! I love everyone being home, and the laid back schedule that the summer brings. I also enjoy the few days of warmth we have up here in the good ole north. So, the beginning of the school year is typically not my fav! So far, I have done quite well, so I am grateful. P has a WONDERFUL teacher this year, and I am excited for him to share the year with her.
When I picked him up today, and asked him how his day was, he replied with a big "IT WAS GREAT MOM, I MEAN, IT WAS JUST GREAT! I LOVE Mrs. Nabring" He then went on to add "Mrs. Wilkie (k-garden)and Mrs. Nast (1st gd) I have moooooved on! Hysterical! By the way, he loved Mrs. Wilkie and Mrs. Nast, and so did his parents. There are no words to describe my gratitude for the godly teachers that influence the life of my child, and so many others. What a blessing!
This morning on the way to school we heard the song "Hold Me Jesus" on the radio. I told Palmer that that was my prayer. I told him that it is scary to let your baby go, but that I just pray for the lord to hold me and calm me, and bring me peace. He did do that for all of us today!
We pray for an awesome year at OCS!
Happy 1st day baby boy!
