First Day of School
I set a goal to record some thoughts every day this year and today is day one so off to a good start! We challenged the kids to do the same so it only seems fair, right? Today was the kids' last first day of school in Spain. Bittersweet for sure. They were all so excited. It helped that we did the traditional Back to School photoshoot at the school campus yesterday and every teacher they saw had big hugs and lots of kisses for them all. This morning it was all smiles as they reconnected with friends and explored their new classrooms. Everyone seems happy with teacher assignments and the friend situations after the first day, so that's a relief. Brandon gave us all blessings last night and they were great. The kids were a little crazy before (during) and after but each child sat reverently and calmly during his/her turn, even Blakey. He blessed me that I'd find ways to connect with each kid this year and I really hope I do. I love being a Mom and feel like life is passing
