we dropped off tuck at the school he’ll be going to in January two mornings a week.  It’s just a day to shadow, see what it’s like, and get tested.  I know he’s there right now loving it and he’s well taken care of, but I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t have a lump in my throat.  

and ok, ok I’m a bit misty eyed too- must be my allergies (; 

it is absolutely true what they say all the time –

… it happens sooo quick … the days are long, the years are short … don’t blink …

how is he already this big?!  It feels like I just brought him home from the hospital.  

I was so scared and excited.  happy and terrified.  

and today I feel the same.  scared and excited.  happy and terrified.  

He’s never been with anyone for four hours other than my mother or mother in law.

So I am just hoping he’s kind, and kids are kind right back. 

thankful to know we have a God that goes before us every step of the way.  

so while I’m weepy over him growing up, I have peace in that truth this morning.
