Well, school is just around the corner and Wendy is shopping for school supplies one child at a time. She claims that it is less stressful and I guess it is. I come home from work and see bags and bags of stuff. Wendy has her trusty little sharpy handy and writing names on all supplies - one at a time, even each crayon. I am glad I didn't have to go through that when I was a kid. Ethan is skeptical about his first year of school, but we are trying to persuade him little by little. Sometimes he says he doesn't want to go. It will definitely be different this year. Three children will be in school and one at home. Wendy will be in school, too. She has four more classes to go. It should be a breeze for her. I wish there was a button I could push to keep her from stressing so much about school. She always does really well in her classes.
Jamie will be in the 4th grade, Katherine will be in the 2nd grade and of course Ethan will be in kindergarten. I usually don't go to work until all of them are on the bus the first day of every school year. We start out with a big breakfast and we take pictures of them by the wall to show their age and height. We also take a picture of them standing at the bottom of the driveway waiting on the bus and getting on the bus. I have to remember to give each of them a Father's blessing before the start the school year.
Wow, the summer passes so quickly. It always seemed that we were out for 3 months when I was little, but I could be wrong. Everything was slower and bigger back in those days anyway. I will make sure that I post a picture or two.
