New Start

While I've been wallowing in self-pity over our adoption,

my babies have been busy growing up.

Today was the first day of a new school year,

and for my five year old,

a whole new adventure.

It was like Christmas morning around here today.

6AM and the singing, dancing and excitement began.

The second grader thought his little sister was

Crazy.

My husband suggested we should've recorded it,

to remind her, many years from now,

how very, very excited she was

to go to school.

She literally skipped to the bus stop.

Let's hope the joy lasts.

Now, this mama is going grocery shopping . . .

Alone.
