Time For School

I can hardly believe that summer has come to a close. This year we send off 4 of 5 kids to school. Isaac is thrilled to be going and not a worry in the world. He will go to school with Elizabeth (2nd) and Zach (5th) while Hannah embarks upon the journey of middle school (6th).

The house was a buzz with excitement. When they went running out the door a strange silence filled the air. It was a brief taste of what next year will be like when Aaron heads off to kindergarten after 13 years of 24/7 caring for children (he was still asleep). Scott and I had our pancakes in a weird sort of precious one-on-one time. The tides are turning. I praise God that we can feel confident in their ability to be secure in who God has created them to be in a world that needs to see in them character that makes people question why they are different. They are prayed up and sent off under the protection of the Father. May His will be done in and through them.
