There she is: our middle school daughter. She eagerly marched to 6th grade this morning wearing her "Buford Wolves" sweatshirt and a smile. Is this really happening? How is our sweet, innocent little girl already here? Do they know what they are getting? Will they see Kathryn as the cheerful, optimistic, compassionate young lady that she is? Can she stay that way? Oh Lord, PLEASE!!
And if You could keep my heart from breaking in the meantime....that would be helpful too.
And then there is our Top Dog. I guess if you have to be new to a school, it's nice to come in as the oldest. 8th grade and 14 on Sunday. Great, now I'm crying again.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Joshua is so excited he gets to wear his football jersey today because he has a game tomorrow. I guess I should just be happy he doesn't have a mohawk with his numbers shaved in the side of his head. Go Wolves!!
And where is Kami is all this? Notice the child peering through the window. She is almost as upset as me about the first day of school. What she doesn't know is that she might be the only thing keeping me sane today. "Yes, Kami! We can play "lemonade stand!" Yes, we can play babies! Yes you can dress up in your princess dress and wear it to the store! And will you please do it forever?"

Oh how I love those children! You are so blessed! I don't think you have to worry about our Katie Kate - she will be fine. Now Jackson, you might need to worry some there, what a go getter!!!! Not really, he is just going to have to fight the girls off. Josh will be fine too, I hope he does well with his football since he loves it so much! Hold on to Kami, she is going to be the one that you follow everywhere. HA! Life goes on my girl, nothing you can do about it but ENJOY this wonderful time. Love to All!!!
