I have to confess...I really thought I could tough this out...My little M.A.N., my little buddy is off to school this fall and I really, honestly thought I can handle this...I mean I would see other Mothers Sob when their child's first day of school came and I would think what is the big deal. It's not like they are leaving home they are just going to school for the day. But I have come to realize it is a Big deal, not that they are starting school but because they are growing up. As Mothers we see this first day at School not as just a day away from home but as our children moving on in life. We are no longer the center of their attention. I really thought I could handle this I mean I had the little guy at home with a midwife and didn't make a peep...grinned and bared it all...Now my little guy is starting school and I am thinking oh MY!! He's not my little guy anymore, oh he is in my heart but it's time to let him go, time to let him grow! I wanted to share a few photos of Michael when he first blessed us with his presence and also since Fathers day is coming I thought I would throw a picture of proud Daddy in here too...It's hard to believe our son is almost 5 and will be starting school. A new chapter begins in our life ~
Michael is about 2 weeks old here and telling Daddy a story, lol. He still tells us stories, only now we can understand him, lol!
My favorite photo of my little sunshine...Aren't they the the most precious thing when they sleep...
And now look at him, Ekkk...Driving tractors!! Just wish I had had the Rebel camera when he was little but alas you can't go back, Only forward! I am thankful he's happy and growing and soon to start out on his journey into the Big Wide World!! I'm looking forward to our new adventures and feel much better now that I confessed, lol....Hope you all forgive me!!

oh Wendy he was so adorable as a little guy. he is so handsome now...makes me sad just thinking that oneday Luke won't be my little guy. Lilly is almost 2 and I can't believe that...where does time go?
It goes so quickly doesn't it?! My baby boy is 7 on Saturday and I can't believe that either! Michael is such a cutie!
Gosh, I feel your sadness. When Lexi started last year, I was the same way- I couldn't understand- until THAT first day- why my school catered a "boo-hoo" breakfast for the parents on the first morning of school. I understood why THAT morning!!!! It feels as though you are letting go of the "little" kid, and gaining an older, bigger one- instantly!!! They just age so fast on the first day of Kinder. And, now, I have Jessi-my baby and LAST- starting this Fall!!! Do you know what's worse than the first day of Kindergarten? Kindergarten Graduation!!!! Oh my gosh, I couldn't stop crying!!!!
Huge HUGS to you!!!!!! You will get through this!!!
BTW, beautiful pictures!!!!!
Ahh Wen....I am here holding your cyber hand all the way my Texas friend. This was a GREAT blog entry. It certainly does fly.
