The first day of school...

the smell of coffee from downstairs

time to get up

groggy kids rubbing sleepy eyes

getting dressed in fresh first day of school clothes

the excitement, the nervousness

"mom, make my hair stop doing that"

"Chris, make your hair stop doing that"

the cool new shoes

the giggles at too heavy backpacks

the ever increasing smiles as we get closer to the entrance

"mom, that's far enough"

"mom, can you take me to my class"

"Hey Chris!" and off he goes

"Cile!" "Analiese!" hugs and hands held and off she goes

Then the turn around, "bye mom" "Have a good day Chris"

And another turn around, this time with a hug, "have a good day sweetheart"

the ever increasing smile of a happy mama heart as I get farther from the entrance.
