Please stay sweet. Please stay innocent. Please continue to love your family more than anything. Please remember you will always always always be my baby girl.

Here we go again. This first day of school was not nearly as emotional as last year (pregnant. first day of kindergarten...not a good combo for last year). She was ready, so I was ready. She felt a little nervous, but I hyped it up big time. We had a great summer but I am ready for some structure and routines. I miss her sweet face while she is away though. Joshua does too. He must have asked 15 times, "Where's my Audrey? When is she coming home?" I swear even Austin missed her. She is such a good helper with the boys. We all look forward to 3:00 all day around here.
My Miss.
The school girl with her crazy brothers. Oh Joshua.
No tears for me this year. I think I traumatized Audrey last year and I was trying to stay positive. Dave even went to his own school this year and didn't have to beg for the hour off to console his out of control wife. Progress. Until Joshua starts kindergarten, then I will be a mess all over again (or maybe even preschool).
I asked Joshua what he was doing and he said, "Me packing a wunch so we can go eat with Audrey. Me miss hur!" He was making himself a bagel sandwich...a blueberry bagel with nuts on it. okay.
The night before school started, Dave gave Audrey a blessing. He blessed her to be confident and kind. Joshua pulled up a chair right next to Audrey. Of course I peeked a few times. Audrey never moved, eyes closed the whole time with a little smile on her sweet face. Joshua...off the chair, on the chair, off the chair, then on the chair, looked at Dave, and then Joshua sat on the chair and put his own hands on his head. I love it.
