For the first time in over 10 years, I did not go to school on the first
day of school. Jeff dropped Maddie and Jayd off at the highschool on
his way to work, and Allie was given a ride to school with her carpool
group. Gabe and I stayed home to kickoff his wonderful year of
homeschool! It was a very strange school beginning for me. I didn't
run into my friends wandering around the school holding their little
ones hands. There wasn't any wide eyed faces showing a range of
emotions, joy, unhappiness, fear and excitement. I didn't stand in a
line with other parents waiting for the bell to ring and the teacher to
come out and welcome the class. There were no waves as they disappeared
into another chapter of their lives. There was no lonely walk home.
It was a great day! Here are some of the faces that I sent off, and
kept home this year!
