1st day of school

Today was the first day of school, 3rd for Makenna and kindergarten for Aubrey.  They both had a great day!  Makenna made 2 little friends that she played with at recess and sat with at lunch.  I am so relieved!  Aubrey was at the same table w/ Isaac, which I  worry could be a problem. I emailed the teacher, and she agreed, and will move them in the next week or two.  So happy it was a good day for the girls.  I had a very sad day.  New school years are always sad for me, I miss them so much.  I felt especially sad today, just because Makenna was starting a new school, and scared, and the girls don't really have friends yet.  I felt like I was the only mom in the school today that was crying.  Tony was with me, and assured me I wasn't.  I know each day will get better!  I love them so much, and hate that they are getting bigger, but am having so much fun with them at every stage. I love going to non-cartoon movies with Makenna and having special lunches out with Aubrey.  I have to remember this just means I will have more quality time with them.  We have had a tough summer, with not knowing anyone and living in the condo, this will be really good for them. Mommy will adjust too!  Hope they meet more friends tomorrow and come home with more smiles!

New school about to begin

School starts for the girls on Tuesday.  I am sad for them to start school again. It is always sad when summer ends and my days with them are shared with school.  We are all feeling very anxious about this new school year at a new school. Makenna is having a hard time and is afraid to start 3rd grade at her new school.  I feel so bad for her.  Wish I could protect her, or go with her all day:(
