Cha-cha-cha-changes

Well .... I have a 1st grader. He was nervous this morning that he is not going to read well, that people will laugh at his missing teeth and that there is no nap. He actually hates naps but it was time that he wasnt having to do schoolwork! It makes me feel extremely old, especially because I will be turning 30 for the third time in just a few short days! I know he will do just fine today so I'm actually excited for him this year rather than sad. The only reason a tear was shed this year is because I saw a friend leaving her kindergartner crying her eyes out. My heart ached for her. I remember the moment of realization that my baby wasn't a baby anymore.




Recreating the same picture as last year. I swear he is a foot taller!








Here is the difference. That shirt from last year is a belly shirt on him now!




The moment I started embarrassing him. This was a "really momma" look!




I said give me one smile and I will stop.




His teacher showing him where to unpack his stuff.




I had to creep outside the door like a stalker to get these.




Not sure what this face was but he was eager to start his day. Man I love that kid.
A moment to express thanks:
As a child of God it is my goal that everything that comes out of my mouth and every action made by my body honors Him. Lately it has become a violent struggle that my human nature desperately wants to win. Its hard to sit back and keep your mouth shut sometimes but I know its the right thing to do. With that being said I would like to thank each and every person who has given me an encouraging word, given me a much-needed hug, Offered prayers on mine and Colby's behalf, Offered to cause bodily harm to others and print billboard signs for all to see,drop everything at a moments notice to be by my side and proven to me that life does indeed go on. I have always known that I had a great support system but I never knew I had a complete army ready and willing to attack. I am completely overwhelmed with the amount of love and support I have received in recent days. The struggle is hard and the road is bumpy but I serve a God who promised me that His plans were to prosper me and not to harm me. This too shall pass. I will continue to covet your prayers in days, weeks and months to come.
