We started our first day of Kindergarten today and, boy, was it exciting! The Lord was so gracious and we were able to complete all of our lessons in about 1 1/2 hours. Hannah and Samantha were very good girls and kept themselves occupied with activities which allowed Katie and I to have uninterrupted learning time. The challenging part came after "school" was over. Giving each child time with Mommy seems to be what is most coveted between my girls. It will be a good opportunity to teach them how to be patient and unselfish. I have to say, though, that nap time will be a cherished and necessary part of our day. The girls will need it to get the rest they need after a busy morning and mommy will need it to spend extra time in God's Word, catch up on other household tasks, and possibly get her own needed rest. All in all, I was very encouraged today and look forward to this year with Katie.
