I can’t believe it’s here.  We had a whirlwind of a summer.  School has begun!  It’s a bittersweet moment.  I really don’t like the tight schedule that school brings.  The early mornings and the homework.  I do, however, like the nice quiet that comes to our home.  This morning both boys got up excitedly and got themselves ready.  Preston so eager to get back to school where he can visit with his friends.  Levi so timid and a little hesitant.  He wanted me to take him (which I’m more than willing to do).  He was afraid he wouldn’t have anyone to sit next to on the bus.  Preston promised me he would sit with him.  So when the bus pulled up and they hopped on we didn’t expect the driver to send the older boys straight to the back and thus splitting up my boys.  The look on Levi’s face was heart breaking.  Preston wasn’t sure what to do.  I saw him moving up a little as the bus pulled away but I’m not sure if he was able to sit with Levi.  I really hope everything worked out. I just have Sophia home with me so sweet and quiet.  I’m not sure how we will fill our days but it’s going to be fun to spend more time with just her and I.
