First day of school...

Monday, September 11, for middle and high school. Tuesday September, 12 for elementary.  Following is a Facebook post about the youngest two's 1st day....

And today these two joined the back to school crew.... "I am soooooo ready for 2nd grade" the youngest announced before the sun had woke this morning. And then said "why is it so dark?"   "It's 4:01" I mumbled.  One of us is going to crash before days end.  Pedro quietly waited for his bus this morning,  telling me one more time the directions to his classroom. "What if I get lost?"  "There will be someone to ask" I reminded him.  "Will you miss me today?"  I nodded and said "of course"  as he got on his bus he flashed me his grin and  called I love you over his shoulder.   This morning this momma cried as his bus pulled away not because I was sad to see him go, he is so ready for this new adventure, but simply because of the  ordinary back to school morning exchange we shared. Ordinary and simple have never been part of his routine.
