First Day

Sam 6th Grade {Middle School}

Maggie 5th Grade

The two big kids started school today. It was the first time in 5 years that they've started at different schools. I was a little blue this morning thinking about them being in two different places. I guess up until today I didn't realize how much comfort I found in knowing they were together. But after school I got to witness something really sweet....a genuine interest in the other's day. So many questions for one another...how was your day? Do you like your teachers? What did you have for lunch? etc, etc. In the past they never had much of this because they already knew everything the other one did before they even hit the stairs of the bus. So maybe a little distance is good for these two. It just might make the heart grow fonder!

Cute first day pictures!!! I know, I like knowing mine are at the same school too. That will be kind of tough one day when they aren't!
