Well, today Mamie started first grade. We took her to meet her teacher the other night and she started getting really exctied. Found out that there are a couple of friends from last year and a friend that she has known her entire little life in her class, so she was ready to start school. She says "she thinks her teachers are cute". This morning I walked into her room and said "good morning my little first grader". She said "I have been waiting for you to come get me out of bed." (good to know i am still needed for something) She got right up brushed her teeth, washed her face, put on her clothes and said "you aren't ready yet, hurry up and get ready". Anyway, I started getting dressed and went to wake up Nolan and he just didn't want to wake up. I feel this is going to be a big deal in the near future. Kyle finally got up and ready and we all headed to school. I asked Mamie if she wanted me to walk her in and she said "no I know where my class is, just a strait shot down the hall". As we drove up to the school I saw tons of mothers and fathers walking little ones up for the first day of k-5 or just the first day of school in general. We got up to the car pool lane and they opened the door for Mamie and out she jumps. She gets hugs from some of the ladies that remember her and off she went. I couldn't look back because I knew if I did tears would flow. Well, tears fell anyway. I guess thinking Mamie is getting more and more independent and doesn't need me as much for somethings or just because I am an emotional person anyway. O.K. tears are falling again. So we get back home to get Nolan's shoes on and brush his teeth for him to get off to school. He looks at me and says "I want go wif you momma". I said "O.K. lets go". Everything was fine until we get to school. I take him out of the car seat and he wants me to hold him. Which is just fine with me. So we get into school and Nolan loses it. Don't leave me Momma is what I heard walking out the door. Talking about tearing your heart out................ I am sure he was fine after I walked out, but I didn't need to hear that today. So today is a day of change for Mamie. Sunday is a change for both the children because they will be moving up in Sunday School classes and Monday will be a change for Nolan. He will be moving up to an older three year old room. I know Mamie will be fine, I just worry about Nolan. He doesn't like change too much. I almost forgot another person in our family that will have a big change as well this weekend. It is Kyle he turns the "BIG 40" Saturday.
HAPPY CHANGE OF A NEW DAY AND A NEW YEAR!!!

I made the mistake of looking back this morning and I fell to pieces. Will it ever get easier? My guess is no, but maybe one day I won't cry like a baby. :)
