Our 1st "First Day of School"

“What day is it?"

"It's today," squeaked Piglet.

"My favorite day," said Pooh.”

I love this little quote!  It reminds me to be excited for the day, everyday, to make it my favorite, to live in the now and seize this moment.  

Today we start a new chapter of our life, our oldest child, Drew, starts Kindergarten!  As I poured through old photos to include in this post, I cried like a big baby!  I can't believe this day has arrived, it feels like it was just yesterday when I brought him home from the hospital.  But I want to be happy, and excited for him and this new stage we are entering.  I don't want to be sad that his toddler/per-k years are over, but be happy that they happened and enjoy everyday with him.  So today we are celebrating his first 5 years!  And wishing him the best first day of school EVER!!!
