School Days

I just was sitting here tonight thinking about what will be coming up in the life of our family on Monday. Christopher begins 3rd grade. Even though this will be his 4th first day of school, this is a new year and things will be different around here. I'm looking forward to what will transpire in the next few weeks and seeing how he will grow and find his way.

Now, for Jonathan....this is the last 1st day of school for our family. I don't see anymore children in our future, but God has His plans for our lives and laughs daily at me as I tell HIM my plans. My little Jonathan...for those of you who know him (and me) know that this will be an interesting week. He is his own little man...marching to his own beat. He, more than Christopher, has been my sidekick for 5 years. I will miss him dearly, but I know that he will enjoy this time away from me. He will be the one to come home and tell me EVERYTHING about his day...while Christopher says, "It was fine". Christopher was his own little man from day one! Jonathan has always acted like mine...just mine. Christopher has always wanted to go anywhere but where he was. Jonathan has been content to be wherever I was.

I love my little men...and that's what they are...little men. Scott and I will say good-bye to them on Monday, and I just feel like life, as we know it, will never be the same again. I will pray over them before they go and trust our Father to care for them while they are away.

Thanks for reading...and praying! Love to you all!
