Yesterday my third started kindergarten. Wasn’t it just yesterday he was eating fuzz and thinking that doing dishes was the most fun to be had? Yesterday, he was so proud to be going to school. My house was so quiet with only two. Just me, Number 4, Number 5, and the 2 dogs; I promise: it was eerily calm and silent. Number 4 happily painted with watercolors, while I did some ironing. We read and talked and didn’t over-react to spills and messes.
No worries, today is an at-home school day, so everything’s back to usual: not so calm and silent. I will be thankful for this day–this day I get to teach my kids–and choose to focus on the important stuff…and not to over-react to spills and messes. With two or with all five…This is the day the Lord has made, as was yesterday, and will be tomorrow.

Wow. It’s so fun to see him all decked out in his uniform…and he looks SO excited! Praying for a great school year for all of you!
Great pictures. They look so excited. Caleb is sure getting tall! What fun to have quiet days with just the two youngest.
Such handsome little men you have…and yes, the house is strangely quieter here too
.
Boy are they handsome!!
Hurray! Judaaaaaaah! Way to go!
Awwww, Ruth! So sweet….and EXACTLY describes my week, as I sent 4 off to UMS, leaving me with two sweeties at home…a quieter house, time to focus on them a bit…and the at-home days…yes, sometimes chaotic, at least till we find our feet, perhapes? But such a blessing to have them home…
Thanks for the sweet post.
Thanks for the comments, everyone! They are growing up so fast…makes you remember that every season of life is different. Savor the one you’re in!
