Changes

baby girl started kindergarten today.
she was so excited. she couldn't wait. big smiles when she went to bed last night, and big smiles when she woke up today.
she.cannot.wait!
knowing this was coming up, i have been thinking what am I gonna do now..
with no kids at home... ive had kids at home with me for the last 9 years
and now, well... hmmm
should i start helping allen run his business.. should i go back to school...
get a job...
whats next for me.. my kids are growing up, leaving my behind.
but it finally hit me last night, hit me hard..
my life is changing too.
i'm so sad they are all in school.






i put off putting my makeup on this morning, i knew it was going to be emotional,
every one of them i sent off on the bus was emotional for me.
i smiled with the kids, i smiled with her, she is so ready for school.
i took my traditional pictures. captured the same ones with gage and miles.
and when the bus drove away, my eyes filled with tears.
all these years i have walked away from the bus stop with someone holding my hand
she always held my had, she skipped, hopped, tripped, and ran home from the
bus stop holding my hand,
and today,
i made that walk home.. alone.


they are on to bigger and better things now.


Im happy to say all three kids love school.
