The Last Day...

Today is the last day I will have three of my children living full-time in the house.
Today is the last day that Corinne will be "under-thumb".
Beginning tomorrow-she will live at Miami in the dorms.
Exciting-yes. Bittersweet-absolutely.
Today Shelly started the tenth grade at LU.
She is the last of my kids to attend the High school full time.
Ian will be going to the career center beginning Monday.
Wow- have things changed.
I better get ready.
more changes to come.
Happy first day of school.

Back to School

It's hard to believe that it's already that time again !
Summer has passed SO quickly--seems like it just started-
and here we go again--BACK TO SCHOOL !
This year, a little different for me-
instead of 5 in school- down to three.
Corinne heads off to Miami U. in Oxford- moving into the dorm
Aug 20th for her freshman year-- GO CORI !!
Ian will be heading to Eastland Career Center for his Junior year
in the Electrical Technology Program- I think this will be a great fit
for him and he seems excited to get started on a new path.
And Shelly will be starting her Sophomore year at LU-- the youngest of
the kids and the last at the HS.
hard to believe.
The clothes have been purchased.
The supplies in the bag.
Dorm Room crammed full.
The house seems quiet.
Missing my older kids.
Missing when they were all excited to start their first day of school- new lunchboxes in tow- the coolest "light-up velcro" Disney character shoes (had to have those),taking the 1st day of school photos....
wow-
time sure passes quickly-
enjoy while it's here.
have a safe "back-to-school"-
ENJOY !
