It's that dreaded time of year....back to school. The kids all returned to school today after a great summer. It was a rather uneventful summer but we enjoyed a lot of just being together, playing games, watching movies, swimming, bike riding, and spending time with friends.
Today Jamahl started ninth grade at the high school. He has a rigorous academic schedule and even taught himself geometry over the summer to double advance in math this year. He chose to play water polo over football this fall and has been nothing but busy busy busy!
The girls are off to 6th grade this year at the middle school. They were excitedly nervous this morning but had a great day. Middle school is the first time that the girls will not be together at school. They all have choir together but besides that they are dispersed all over the building. For the most part, the three girls have the same teachers for ease and convenience. Keyan will be entering the cognitively impaired classroom this year where she will spend a good portion of her day. We visited the class last year once or twice a month and she has been SUPER excited to become part of that team.
Dear God, keep these precious kiddos safe this year. I know they are on the brink of really soaring in life and I am so excited to support those flights....to celebrate the successes and help pick up the pieces when it may not go as planned. Surround them with adults who will love them, challenge them, get to know them, and support them through this season of life. Please bring friends into their lives that will grow with them and be there for them no matter what. Please help them nurture friendships new and old and may they always be kind to everyone! May home continue to be a safe haven and give Paul and I unending wisdom. Bless our children, thanks for loaning them to us to care for and love to pieces! We are beyond honored! Ready, set....here we go!
