A whole new direction for us this year. A path I was sure wasn't ever going to happen for us, but you can never really know the future or what challenges lay in your path. So, here we are.
Leo began Prep today, and was pretty happy to be there. He has wonderful teachers and got straight into the playdough table.
Roman started Grade 3 and is in a mixed class of Grade 3 & 4. He was extremely nervous about not knowing any kids and wondering if he would know enough academically. However, he settled in fine and gave me a wave and a smile through the window as we left.
I have mixed feelings, both relief and sadness. Relief, because the past 12 months have been very difficult for me and I've struggled through most days not really coping with what's on my plate. And sadness, because of course I'm going to miss them like crazy and wondering what they're up to all day. I can't wait to hug them tight when they get home!
So here's to new beginnings!

I can see this is a big change for you! But it sounds like the first day was with a good beginning!!! I hope the rest of the school year goes very well! God bless you and give you peace and comfort!
ReplyDeleteYay boys! So glad to hear you all had a great start to the school year, so exciting. I'm sure you miss them (as I do when mine are away), but i think it is delightful to listen to all the stories they have when they come back home. To see how much they grow also when we are not there, it puts my heart at ease and I have trust in that they will do fine in this life. And most importantly that us parents are always there for them and will always be an important part of their lives :-)
ReplyDeleteI miss you on instagram Shara!!! But I am happy you are posting here once in a while. I am just not managing to update my blog right now, so much going on with my studies and the house and the boys and soon the garden, but maybe some day soon! Much love.xxx P.S. did you receive my xmas card?
I'm so proud of you for changing things. It's not easy . I'm sure they gonna have so much fun in school. And you will have some time. Can't imagine to have my 3 girls around me all day... :-)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it must have been a tough decision - but the right one for your family! Sometimes we need to make those really hard choices as mamas - for the good of our family and our own happiness as a mama. Hugs! I hope that this coming year is a happier and more peaceful year for you <3
