school is back

 these cuties are back in class.  after a really good summer, all things considered, they woke early today (felt really early) to catch their respective buses and embark on new learning adventures.  Layla, doing a the victory lap "12 x" year, Hudson grade 11 and Alemayehu grade 9.  mind blowing....somehow this happened and for the first time in twenty years i have no kids in elementary school...no more hot lunch days, no recess and no indoor shoes.  can't even believe it.  

so naturally lots of prayers for our whole bunch this year.  thinking of the three oldest too.  one still a student in London and the other two embarking on new career opportunities today and in another week. 

still, this morning it was completely refreshing to sit on my couch in silence (total silence!! :) baby was still asleep!) and have some quiet time and ask God to lead and guide my kids this whole year through.  it was peaceful to leave my deepest cares at His feet, knowing He loves them even more than i do.  and that's a lot. 

and to my six~ i'm not gonna lie, the time to myself today with only baby C. felt easy and light and honestly, like a very necessary break.  but also know that all day long my thoughts were with you.  each one,  funny how that works...i sure do love you to pieces and pray this is an amazing year!  i'm trusting God with your journeys.  2021-2022 advice you ask?  same as last year...haha...choose well, rise up and be great, and have fun! ❤
