change

i've never been good with change.
maybe it's a middle child sort of thing.

(AC first day of school 2008)
although, i did change my furniture around a lot as a kid.... i wonder what that was all about.

this morning as i woke up to make lunches for my kids - the change hit me hard.

(T first day of school Kindergarten)
there will be a cafeteria.
 i don't 'have' to make the lunches everyday.
as i packed the lunches - i put a note in their boxes -- telling them both to ENJOY thier last day at Providence.

(AC first day of school 1st grade)
soak it in.
embrace the friends, the love.

(T first day of school 3rd grade)
crazy as i pulled up my pictures this morning to download some ... the first day of school folder was open.
wow.... change.

First day of school 3rd and 1st grade

change is good.
and i'm confident in this change.
i'm excited about this change.
emotionally - it's hard, but i know in my heart that it is best for our family.

so, as I pack up all the uniforms today and get them ready to give away  - i will know these things:
 change is necessary.
change is good.
 change brings growth.
change builds character.
 change brings new life.
change IS life.
last day of school with Bob the Bus Driver

HH-
Everything is going to be great! These changes will grow your faith in yourself and your family even more! Change is so important and learning to adapt to it at a young age will help your kids more than you know! (at least that is what I'm telling myself!)

Love you

Tons of prayers headed your way. I know how much a part of your life (and your parent's) PCA has been.

The foundation has been laid. They will thrive and grow. They will be amazing because you and Tommy are amazing.
