a back-to-school...

back-to-blogging post.  hello friends!  today was the day.  our oldest daughter started kindergarten!!!  it's a day that much excitement, anxiety, curiosity and bittersweetness has consumed my mind.  thankfully isabella has been blessed w/ an awesome teacher who has put me at ease.  well, somewhat...i seemed to have a slight panic attack after coming home from "meet the teacher" night, lol.  but really, isabella has been so excited as we've been counting down, picking out her "first day" outfit and making her lunch requests :)

lol, yes, she actually wants to be a fairy!

we've been preparing for these early mornings for a week now...i'm exhausted and feel my immune system hurting!  mama needs a vitamin!  i fully expected for isabella to be a tired mess when picking her up, but as always she surprised me.  she was excited after her day, eager to play at home and pretty giddy when going to bed tonight (or maybe it was a delirious state, lol).  we shall see how the week goes!

taking her to school and leaving her there for about 7 hours, reminded me that it has begun.  God's plan for giving us these precious beings to love, cherish and raise to go out in the world...

LOVE + FAITH + PRAYER = THE BEST WE CAN DO!

*GO PARENTS!  GO TEACHERS!*

yes, i just did that...we all need encouragement through these big changes!  which reminds me...THANK YOU TO ALL MY LOVELY FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT CALLED AND MESSAGED TO SEE HOW ISABELLA AND MAMA WERE DOING :)
