Well, summer break is officially over. Book bags are packed, lunches packed and clothes laid out. Cheredith starts middle school so as you can imagine she is ready. She loves school so tomorrow can't get here fast enough for her. Matthew on the other hand routinely yells out "I hate school" when ever the topic is brought up. Just a few hours ago he tells me that he is finally getting excited about going. That is a huge turn from him refusing to get out of the car Thursday at school so I could run in paper work to the office.
So much has changed since the beginning of last year. Cheredith doesn't look at all like she did last schoolyear. She is no longer dancing but will be cheering for Chattanooga Valley Middle School. So proud of her for stepping out of her comfort zone. I have seen her dance and even had the opportunity to teach her in dance but she has even surprised me. She made All-American at camp as a 6th grader. I can't wait to hear all about her first day of middle school.
Matthew had never played sports this time last year. Since then he has played basketball, soccer and now football. Sports are is life. He loves sports so much, and of course as his mom I must say he is great. I really enjoyed watching this past Saturday watching Matthew score a touch down. I am a very proud momma!
This summer has been amazing. To be able to spend days with my kids, our trip to New York, and lazy summer days it was amazing. Even though our trips to Atlanta have been not for joy, but for doctors they have been great. I enjoy ever minute we have had.
As I send the kids to school in the morning and go to work myself, I am excited to see what this new school year will bring. So much is going to change, that is part of life. I am sure there will be lots of joy, tears and laughter. All the things that go into growing up. This year may be starting of a little strange with Matthew missing the second day of school for a trip to Emory to see a Neurologist and then to see the surgeon about his stomach surgery, but getting better isn't always easy. I am thankful that we have finally found some doctors who understand and are wanting to help. I know how blessed my life is even in the middle of mass craziness. I have a wonderful husband who is my best friend, two amazing kids, family that listen to me and friends and a church that inspire me. As much as I dread the routine and early hours I can't wait to see what all is to come.
