A few weeks ago we headed to Jacksonville Elementary to meet the kids' teachers. We had our school supplies ready to distribute and our smiles ready get the school year under way. Caity kept a count down for us and we sure were happy when the night finally came. I was nervous and hopeful everything would work out for each child. I think I am just a nervous wreck at these things. I think I build everything up and although it is like 98% good news, I get so worked up among the chaos and seeing friends again, and witnessing insecurities resurface on kids faces as the walk halls...that I am an emotional mess by the end of the night and am sleeplessly tossing and turning and praying that everything goes smoothly as I release my kids back into the world. They were ALL on cloud nine and really excited about their teachers and friends in their classes.
After leaving the school, we headed to Food 4 Less for Umpqua ice cream cones. Where Caity was counting down to meet her teacher, and Johnny was counting down to see who was in his class, William was counting down to the ice-cream trip I promised after the event. Haha. If that doesn't sum up their personalities!
Next we topped the night off at the park.
The boys ran through the splash pad on our way out and Matthew kept hugging us and laughing sinisterly! haha.
All and all- a good day with a roller coaster of emotions that ended with me praying for faith to let go and enjoy in the journey.
