Everyone was on their way by 45 minutes ago (and some much, much earlier). It's so hard to believe my sweet little girl is off to her first day of high school. I am sure it will be great for her, but I'm a mother and I worry. We have a new twist in our lives this year, as Catherine is going to be in Andrew's class. He has some concerns about the dynamics, as well as being concerned about her handling an honors class. I think they are going to enjoy the year. I so vividly remember her first day of Kindergarten. She was so independent and didn't seem to need me much. In some ways, I think she needs me more now.
I put Thomas on the "early" bus (although not so much since Robert is out the door an hour earlier) by himself since Catherine rides to school with her dad. I can't believe my "baby" is in 7th grade. Really? My most vivid memory for him is his first day of 1st grade. These years have flown by.
Three years ago today we moved into this home. It seems just astounding to me. I can't believe that we are beginning our fourth school year in this district. It seems unreal that we are beginning our third school year without my dad. He never got to see any of my kids be in high school. I know that I can't stop time, but I hope that I'm remembering to enjoy it. I think our family makes the most of our time together, but oh goodness, it just goes so quickly!
