New Beginnings

Summer is officially over in our house. Caden started 1st grade today and he's beyond excited. He carefully selected and laid out his outfit, his backpack was full of new school supplies, we discussed his bus routine in detail and he was given a beautiful blessing by his Father last night. He's confident and ready.

I was a little nervous about Abbie being home all day by herself but so far, so good. She's my handful, if you've never heard me mention that before, and the thought of having to entertain her for eight hours all by myself scared me a bit. But she has been so mellow and agreeable today. Hmmm, I'm not going to jinx myself but maybe all she needed was a little one on one time with her mama and no big brother around to interfere.

It's been a good day. I love new beginnings and a fresh start. Next up...fall, my favorite season! I'm anxious to see the leaves turn, to feel the chilly air and to start baking.
