Selah June had her very first day of school today (daycare, but I hate that word as much as everybody else). She is going to St. Luke’s pre-school Monday through Friday , and she can be there anytime between 8:00am and 2:00pm.  Those are extended hours.  Yes, pause and reflect for just a moment….  Those are EXTENDED hours.  How is a girl to work these days making an honest living??  j/k n/r

Jeremy was much more nervous yesterday and today than I was.  I grappled with fear a few weeks ago and had a spiritual reckoning about it.  Once I knew that it really was in God’s hands and that He loves every member of my family, it was easy to let go (a bit). Jeremy had the fun experience of packing her into the car to make the drop-off before work, taking her into an unfamiliar place and hoping she wouldn’t be too upset, and driving away knowing that he had chosen work over spending time with her.  It’s NOT fun.  I wouldn’t recommend it.

I had the joy of picking her up and hearing about her day.  You’d be surprised how much a 1-year-old can tell you about their adventures.  She had great fun with all the kids.  She got to go into two different playrooms. She sang “head, shoulders, knees, and toes.” And she played in the park. She wanted to come home and play with her colors, but she quickly agreed that we should take a nap first.

Just a blur. Always in motion.  ALWAYS But I like that this one captures her joy. We got a little carried away with our colors…   Does that say trouble or what? I love this one!Amid the devastation…
