Catching Up

It has been a long time since I’ve broken the silence.  We have been very busy, we had a tremendous Christmas.  I can still see in my mind the excitement the children had in their eyes Christmas morning, what a precious gift.  Leading in to Christmas we had been battling to get everyone healthy, it seems that some gifts come early.  In our case it was some fevers mixed in with coughs and other cold symptoms. 

None the less we are all doing great.  In many ways we are still fighting through sickness and an overall lack of sleep.  None the less our days of full of brilliance and all the emotional content a day can hold.

We had kindergarten round up last night for our oldest boy.  I have to say that I simply cannot fathom that he is already at the brink of this, of starting school and all that this time will hold for him.

Last night as we stood in line to begin the registration process I could sense a little uncertainty in the air of our crew.  As I knelt down to talk to Oscar I knew, it was my own uncertainty I was sensing.  This was the beginning of a new chapter for him, and knowing that I was nervous for him.  I want nothing more than for everything to be perfect for him, knowing that isn’t possible was the source of my nerves.

Everything went smooth as could be.

As we left the school I knew the winds of change are blowing in a whole new set of new beginnings.  I only hope that I can follow his example of courage and openness to all that lays in front of us.
