The kids had their first day of school on August 24th and their Meet the Teacher was the Friday before that. It's probably good that I'm just now getting to this post because I was way too emotional when Alexa started school. Now here we are, a month into the new school year. We have settled into a nice routine. I am enjoying the chance to get some things done that I couldn't do in the summer time and I am LOVING having alone time with Natalia, but oh how I miss having my little Alexa home with me. Oh sweet girl, you have no idea the fun and joy you have added to my life and when you are gone during the day...this very big chunk of my heart is missing. I miss doing puzzles with you, playing your jewelry game, playing Memory with you, running to Chik-fil-A. I miss you cuddling in our bed watching SuperWhy, I miss taking you to preschool and singing Veggie Tales or princess songs. I miss picking you up from preschool and having your teacher tell me what you were like that day. I miss taking you to ballet in the morning and going out to lunch with our ballet gang. How is it that five years have passed? I still remember that day back in October 2003, when I was pregnant with you. Daddy came home and told me that I could finish out the school year at Goodson and once you were born, I would not have to go back to teaching. I remember thinking of all the fun things that you and me and Jacob would be able to do. And once Jacob started school, we continued to have so much fun together. Sometimes I thought those days were going to last forever. And now you are in school. You are such a big girl and are enjoying kindergarten. You like your teacher Mrs. Fichtel and are making friends. You are learning sight words and you enjoy riding the bus. When I saw you and Jacob get on the bus on the first day of school, my heart melted thinking of how the years have flown by for you both. But my heart also soars, because I know school is where you belong and you are having fun and learning and growing. I am so blessed to be your momma. I always tell you and Jacob this and so I will say it again...out of all the little girls in the world, how did
I get so lucky to be
chosen by God to be
your mommy? I love you, sweet girl!
