I’ve been a little sad since the last expectant parents dinner where I had the privilege of praying for the first day of school over 7 couples. I’m not very original, so I usually start the prayer with something like: ‘Father, the babies have not even been born yet and much too soon, these parents will be walking their child to the first day of school….’ This last dinner we prayed 7 separate times going from couple to couple. I loved it but, after about three times, I was having trouble. I had to start explaining why I was have difficulty praying. (I usually have a hard time anyway, but I get into that another time.)
Madison is finished with Kindergarten and is now a 1st grader. I have just one more year with Megan before we walk her down the street to her 1st day. It seems like just yesterday I was anticipating their arrival. To top it off, we are going to Amarillo to celebrate the neices’ graduation from high school. Ashley and Allyson were Megan’s age when Russell and I started dating and now they are heading off to college. Wow, where did time go? It use to drive me crazy when older people said things like that, now I realize just how right they were.
Mrs. Wideman and Madison on the first and last day of school.

I know how you feel. I am pretty sad about Luke starting kindergarten, too. I wish we could freeze time…
(I’m glad that you finally posted.)
