Bittersweet milestones

Well all of the kids started school this week. Andrew started 4th grade. Ashley started 2nd. Holly went to Kindergarten and Max and Henry started preK. It's been an emotional week with all these new beginnings. So far no one has cried about school starting....except me so I'd consider that a victory. Correction...the boys cried when the oldest 3 went to school without them...but quickly got over it. I apparently have a hard time each time I'm faced with the fact that my kids are growing up and things are changing. They won't always be my babies and while I know that's a good thing, it's hard to accept sometimes.
