Well, today is that annual milestone-rite-of-passage day called the first day of school!
Every year at the Martin home, we get set to deliver the three angels to their respective school buildings as they embark on another year of learning... (our daughters' ages are spaced just right so that they have/will never attend the same building at the same time - arrggh!)
Before we leave the house, we always pose for the obligatory 'first-day-of-school' photo in front of the Nandina bushes by the front door... this morning it was raining! In all the years we have enjoyed/endured this ritual, I can never remember it raining... but it sorta matches our collective mood this morning, because there are only 2 angels in the photo today, as we delivered Caitlin to college in York, Nebraska yesterday...
Cara and Cassie are excited and nervous at the same time, as both gear up to attend a new (for them) building today. Cara is in High School (with 900 of her closest friends) and Cassie is at the Intermediate school (with the other 350 4th graders).
Caitlin is beginning her orientation at York College today. We all miss her very much, but we are so excited for her as she, too, begins a new chapter and attends a new 'building'!
Cara and Cassie seem pretty well-adjusted... both are well-liked by their peers... as I dropped off Cara this morning, all her 'peeps' were waving at her to 'come stand by them', as they waited to go into the auditorium for their orientation... I believe she and Cass will do just fine...
God has blessed our family so richly... and I know He will keep His hand on our girls all day, all year.
It is an exciting time of year!
God Bless!
