***1st Day of School*** ~~Mom's Sentimental Journey~~~

Hi Sweet Friends...

I am being a bit sentimental today...

Today was my daughters 1st day back to

College...a sophomore this year! WOW.

She is still commuting from home...

so

at least I get to see her whiz in and out...

and

occasionally now, she will chat and

catch me up with what has gone on in her day.

Knowing today was her first day made me go

back in time.

So....I made it up to my picture closet to see

if I could find M's first day of Kindergarten pictures.

I found them.

I get so choked up remembering those early days.

How simple and easy it all seems now.

But back then I know it sure didn't

seem that way.

I babysat 2 other neighbor girls that were her age

during her early years.

It was a blessing for her, being an only to

have so many others in our neighborhood to

grow up with.  She always fit right in.

And I'd get comments about how she

didn't act like an only.

That's my socially outgoing girl!

Hasn't changed one bit!

I didn't realize that I took a picture of my daughter

and her friend, but not one alone of my daughter.

These two went to kindergarten together, best buds.

Kindergarten was on Tuesdays, Thursdays all day,

 and

1/2 the afternoon on Friday.

Those days kept me hopping.

I remember Michaela being exausted that first week.

They were given time in the afternoon to nap or rest

but I am sure the change tuckered her out.

She came home and ate a snack but could not

keep awake...to precious!

Do you have sweet memories like these?

I am sure you do!

Be Blessed,

Lorena
