First day of school blues...

The blues for me me, not so much these guys. They were pretty excited to go back to school. For me it is one of those milestone days where you really have to face the fact that your kids are growing up way faster than you care to think. Makes me think of that saying... The days are long, but the years are short...Jack started Kindergarten, he was a bit nervous, my advanced apologies to his future wife, my boy is a boy of few words, and when he is upset or nervous, even fewer words. His communication skills are all boy when it comes to emotions. Kobi started first grade. She was excited, I know she is going to have a great year. She is all about the routine and organization that school brings, and her mother is greatly lacking.

Oh, and my biggest baby,, boo hoo hoo hooo. He started his first day of his junior year... A year that is guaranteed to be life-changing. He will be living in Beijing for the second semester of his Junior year of High School, on scholarship from the U.S. Government. He is just a little (and by little, I mean outrageously over the top) excited. I am trying to just focus on how it will be great life experience for his future, not so much on him actually leaving.
