She's off!

About an hour ago, I dropped Catherine off at school.  She leaves today for three days at a nature camp.  Every sixth grader has the opportunity to attend and they spread it out over three weeks.  She is so excited, and I am so excited for her, but three days feels an awfully long time for my girl to be gone!  Thomas didn't want to miss out on his opportunity to say good-bye so he was up extra early and after dropping her off a trip through the McDonald's drive-thru for breakfast was necessary.  I am sure she will have a blast, but at the same time, a little part of me is counting down the hours until she is back home!
