At 8:35 this morning, the collective sigh of relief that vibrated through the city was just shy of deafening - or maybe that was just me! It was a moment filled with a combination of pure joy and a renewed hope that at some point the level of sanity which I possessed at the beginning of summer would some how, some way be restored. Christmas came early this year in the form of the first day of school!
Armed with sack lunches, backpacks and all the gear needed to make for a successful first day of school, Madison, Mark and Tanner were ready as ever! Madison, the resident 5th grader, was more than ready to dive into all that 5th grade has to offer! Mark, 2nd grader extraordinaire, launched himself right into the swing of things and Tanner, kindergarten's rock star, braved his way through all of his uncertainties and cruised right into his class. What a blessing and a relief for me!
So, on this 100 degree August day, I wish each of you a Merry Christmas because sometimes when you least expect it, Christmas just might come a little early!
