Ok, ok, ok, so I don't do the dance of joy when the big yellow bus rolls down the street in early September. It's no big secret. However, as the kids get older, I do feel a sense of hope and enthusiasm for the adventure that lies ahead for each of them. That is not to say that I was/am completely dread-free, but this is the happy place, so I am looking for it...digging deep and finding the happy!
I am happy that my tenth grader humored his mother by bringing the new Lego folder she bought him.

I am so happy that people were willing to smile before 8:00 a.m.

I am ever so happy that I have so many photos to look back at the moments I swore I would never forget. It makes them so much more vivid, while serving as some sort of proof that all of that time has gone by.

I am also happy that I could do much better than the 2009 flashback photo in last week's apple pictures...2003, baby!
