First Day of Pre-K

Summer isn't officially over yet but the kids are going back to school and soon the weather will be getting cooler here in Michigan. Summer always seems to go by so fast. It seems like yesterday we were celebrating Alex and Evan's preschool graduation. How quickly the three months have gone.

Today, my boys embarked on a new journey. All day Pre-K. I have mixed emotions about today. Over the past few weeks I have been saying how I can't wait for them to go to school. Today my heart aches a little. They have grown up so fast, from their teeny tininess in the NICU to today. Watching them grow and evolve is so amazing.

For the past four years I have been with them everyday; every step of the way. I guess I am feeling this way because they will be going full time, Monday thru Thursday. The bus will pick them up at 8 and they won't be home until 4. In a way I feel like I am already sending them off to Kindergarten.

 I am excited for them to be in the same class together this year. Last year they were in two different classes two different schools. That was a little tough on me. I did lots of driving and spent a lot of money in gas. This year I wanted them together, and it is nice to have that option with Alex being in special education. I have a good feeling about it all and I am hoping that they do well together.

I am feeling a little lost right now. As much as they can drive me batty some days, they are my babies, my little side kicks and I miss them. I am hoping that the time away will improve our time together. I am sure I will get used to the days I am away from them, but today there will be two small pieces missing from my daily life. My Alex and My Evan.

Here are my sweet boys on their first day this morning. I love them so much!!!
