Changes

School began this week . . .

Many tears were shed, both from my school-goers and non-schoolgoer. The transition from Kindergarten to first grade may be a little tough for my Sam Man. The extra two and half hours is a haul and he is quick to tell me, “But it is so loooong . . . I have to stay the whole time?”

And Mr. Oliver, who is 3 but thinks he is 7, cannot understand why HE is not attending elementary school as well. Everyday he dones his backpack and lunchbox hoping it will be the day the rules change and he can hop out of the van with his brother and sister. It is EVER so sad . . . I can hardly stand it:(

Feeling so grateful for my brood this week.

The story of a lovely mother in the blog world has filled my thoughts this week. She and her husband were involved in a serious plane crash in which they were severely burned. They have 4 children under the age of 6 who are under the care of her sister. Many sites are holding silent auctions to help fund the costs of the long recovery for these parents. Check out DesignMom who lists all the amazing things up for auction. Happy bidding!

**Do you not adore these pics? They were taken by Jonathan Canlas and just make my heart melt every time I look at them.
