And so it goes

Last day off for me today. Two days of inservice and then the kids roll in. My head has starting running a lot faster lately...but that's really more out of habit than anything else.

Faith is going off to 1st grade soon - mixed feelings about that. This is the beginning of school really becoming a bigger influence on her than we are - it's been said that you need to teach your kids what you can by the time they're six, because then they belong to everybody. So we hope we have done well to get her to this point. At the same time, we can start to see in her that she's ready to get more than she can get just here. And I'm eager to see her become a fuller person.

Also hoping the twins can blossom going to preschool soon. I'm not too worried about that, I think it will be GREAT for them. And I am really hopeful that Mari will develop some good confidence in her 'school' abilities and break through into real reading soon with daily practice in preschool. I think she'll be so much happier once she makes that leap.

Basically, all is well, time is marching on, and life is still very much fun. Here's to life!
