Growing up...

Yesterday was also my girls' first day of 7th grade.

At 5:30 am I woke them up and they drug their butts out to the living room. At 6:00 am they finally started getting ready. By 6:45 am they were ready to go: breakfast eaten, teeth brushed, hair done, clothes on. At 7:05 am they headed out to the bus stop across the street. B and I kept waving at them. Good thing it was just them at the bus stop or I do believe those kids would have been completely embarassed.

At 7:13 am, the bus pulled up and swallowed them up. I felt a pang of sadness, as if this was the last time I would see my girls as little girls. We have a whole new journey ahead of us.
